What To Expect During Your Home Inspection And The Internachi® Standards Of Practice We Follow
The home inspector will usually take 3 to 4 hours +/- to perform a detailed inspection of the home or building to find visible defects and safety hazards. A home inspection includes the roof, flashing, chimneys, gutters, exterior siding, foundation, grading/drainage, structural components, basement, crawlspace, attic, insulation, ventilation, heating, fireplaces, air conditioning, walls, ceilings, doors, windows, floors, steps/stairs, installed appliances, plumbing, water heaters, electrical systems, garages/carports, decks, driveways, walkways, and sprinkler systems. During our inspection, we use several specialized tools including drones, thermal imaging technology, moisture meters, electrical meters/testers, infrared temperatures, gas leak detectors and more.

Drone Inspections
Our DJI drones take professional HD quality photos and videos to find possible defects on the roof coverings. Whenever conditions allow, we prefer to physically walk the roof because it provides the most thorough evaluation. For roofs that are steep, high, fragile, wet, or otherwise unsafe to access, we utilize FAA-certified drones to capture high-resolution photos and video while maintaining inspector safety.
Infrared Thermal Imaging Technology
Thermal imaging cameras used during a home inspection can help detect problems such as moisture intrusion, plumbing leaks, roof leaks, poor or absent insulation, pest infestation, HVAC issues, electrical system overheating, and more.
