What is a Home Inspection ?
A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale of that home. Home inspections are usually conducted by a home inspector who has the training and certifications to perform such inspections. The inspector prepares and delivers to the client a written report of findings. The client then uses the knowledge gained to make informed decisions about their pending real estate purchase. The home inspector describes the condition of the home at the time of inspection but does not guarantee future condition, efficiency, or life expectancy of systems or components.

Free Thermal Imaging
Infrared building inspections are a non-invasive way to identify problem areas that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Infrared thermography is the use of an infrared thermal imaging camera that provides both a visual and read out of the invisible heat (thermal) energy that is emitted by all objects and will produce thermal images (called thermograms) that can identify the thermal defects that represent potential problems.
Water intrusion, moisture problems, heat/energy loss, missing or damaged insulation, pest infestation and electrical overheating are all conditions that produce different thermal patterns.
As a properly trained and certified thermographer we interpret the thermal camera results and identify and investigate the suspect areas. Not all thermal patterns or anomalies are problems. The inspection should include a thorough written report of all the findings and recommendations, as well as natural photographs and thermal images of the suspect areas.
