Let's start with improved accuracy, efficiency, and comprehensiveness of the inspection process. For example, thermal imaging cameras can detect temperature variations that may indicate insulation issues, moisture problems, or electrical hotspots — while drones and telescopic camera and video systems can provide a bird's-eye view of the property and identify potential roofing and exterior issues that might otherwise be difficult or unsafe to access.
Other advanced tools such as moisture meters, gas leak detectors, hygrometers, and digital scopes can also help uncover hidden defects or hazards that may not be visible to the naked eye. By leveraging these technologies, as a home inspector I can provide more thorough and reliable assessments of a property, which can help buyers make more informed decisions and sellers address issues before putting their home on the market.
Here are just a few of the technologies we're using to bring you the best service we can!
