For most of us our home purchase is one of the largest investments we make. Therefore, it is important to know as much as we can about our home before the final purchase.

Even though a home inspection can not expose every concern there may be, it is a good starting point to inform you so that you make an informed home-buying decision. This knowledge can help reduce any anxieties and surprises you may have or may encounter. We recommend combining the Full Home Inspection with some of our other services to give you a complete picture of what, if any, issues may exist before your closing date

During this inspection we will identify the components of each of the above, determine the components ages and their overall condition.

Infrared cameras translate the heat signatures of objects into colors on a gradient scale. Higher temperatures appear as lighter colors while lower temperatures and wet areas appear as darker colors. These problems are not always obvious to the naked eye, but they are very important to the condition and health of your home. As certified Infrared Inspectors we evaluate the images to detect sources of energy loss, locate areas of moisture intrusion, pinpoint hot spots in the electrical system which may be dangerous and uncover other unforeseen problems like wood-destroying pest and rodent infestations, and flue leaks in the chimney which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. The Infrared Inspection is included in the Full Home Inspection, but it can also be scheduled on its own or with a combination of other specialty inspections.

During the Moisture Intrusion Inspection, we use a moisture meter which is designed to detect and gauge the amount of moisture that exists in building materials. The moisture meter is used to check the areas around plumbing pipes, air conditioning units, toilets, showers, and at wooden components near or in contact with the ground surface. Appliances throughout the home may cause water leaks. Condensation problems can result in an elevation in moisture levels. Our certified inspectors, using the moisture meter, are able to find the source of moisture and water problems in a home. The Moisture Intrusion Inspection identifies moisture issues which must then be corrected before mold growth develops.

Mold testing and inspections are performed to detect the presence of mold spores in an indoor environment. They also quantify the amounts of mold found in the air and/or on surfaces.
