Tools of the Inspection Trade
We utilize many of the home inspection industry’s top tools during each inspection, on an as-needed basis. This is the best way to ensure a comprehensive inspection. Our tools include:
Thermal Imaging
We’re able to discern things that may be missed by the naked eye with this tool, ranging from areas without enough insulation to potentially dangerous hot spots. Thermal imaging is included free of charge as needed with our inspection services. You can also schedule a separate, more complete Thermal Imaging inspection.
Moisture Meter
It may seem like a minor thing, but moisture accumulation can quickly lead to mold. To help you avoid this insidious issue, we use a moisture meter to check for areas in the home that collect moisture.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
Approximately 400 people die in the US every year from carbon monoxide poisoning. We help protect buyers from this silent killer by using a carbon monoxide detector.
Gas Leak Detector
Small gas leaks tend to go unnoticed. We use a gas leak detector to look for tiny leaks before they have a chance to get bigger.
Foundation Slab Elevation Level
This ZipLevel pro tool makes it simple to get an accurate foundation slab elevation reading. We utilize this tool during our optional add-on Foundation Slab Elevation Survey.

- Grading & Drainage
- Roof Covering & Structure
- Walls
- Ceilings
- Doors

Pre-Listing/Seller’s Inspection
Selling a home is often a long, involved process. Fortunately, you can improve your odds of getting a fast sale by learning as much as possible about the property. Our Pre-Listing/Seller’s Inspection service will tell you everything you need to know about the positive and negative points for buyers. You’ll be able to take that knowledge and choose what to repair versus what to merely disclose to interested prospects.
New Construction Phase Inspections
Do you want to help ensure that everything is going according to plan during the construction of your future home? We perform New Construction Phase Inspections to make it easier to correct issues before things get out of hand. You’ll also be able to keep an eye on the builder’s progress by sending our professional home inspector out multiple times during construction. Any issues we discover will be reported to you within 24 hours, enabling you to take quick corrective action.
Home Maintenance Inspections
Your home has regular maintenance needs. To stay on top of them, we highly recommend getting Home Maintenance Inspections. During this inspection service, we’ll inspect your home to look for any existing or developing maintenance concerns. This often saves clients a lot of money in the long run as they’re able to get small issues corrected instead of letting them become much more serious.
Commercial Buildings/Property Inspections
We’re happy to assist business owners with their Commercial Property Inspection needs. We inspect light commercial buildings such as storefronts, offices, single offices, and individual buildings. During this inspection, we’ll look at the building’s critical systems and components. This includes reporting back to you about any potential safety hazards.

Foundation Slab Elevation Survey
Flooding is a significant issue in the Greater Houston Area, as is the settling of foundation slab. In this optional add-on service, we use a ZipLevel to measure the current slope of the foundation slab itself (not the landscape elevation). It can be extremely informative to find out where the slab is at now, and then compare it to another survey reading in a year. Regular Foundation Slab Elevation Surveys can help minimize your risk of dealing with serious flooding.
New Construction Inspection
Having a house built to your exact specifications is a dream come true for most people. However, you need to be aware that almost every house that’s ever been built has come with issues from day one. With our New Construction Inspection service, you’ll be able to get ahead of any existing problems before you move in. This is the perfect way to get the builder to fix their mistakes without it being a huge inconvenience for you and your family.
11-Month/Builder’s Warranty Inspections
Don’t let your warranty expire without getting your newly constructed home inspected. We’ll take a look at everything covered by your warranty and will report on visually accessible existing problems we discover. Booking this service 10 to 11 months after your home was built should give you enough time to file any applicable claims.
Re-Inspections
Anyone who is buying a home needs to pay especially close attention to the results of their home repair addendum. After you and the seller agree upon repairs and the work is reported as completed, it’s wise to get everything inspected one more time. A Re-Inspection helps protect you from becoming financially responsible for repairs that the seller failed to fix. This service also provides peace of mind by letting you know if the seller fulfilled their end of the bargain.
Mold Inspections
Mold can cause thousands of dollars in damages, not to mention the havoc it can wreak on your allergies. To help save you from this potentially costly and unhealthy issue, our [link to: About] home inspector [/link] has also become a Certified Mold Inspector. He’ll inspect the property specifically with an eye toward mold concerns during this add-on inspection service.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
We provide Thermal Imaging as needed during our home inspection services. However, if you want to have thermal imaging used throughout the entire house, we recommend booking this add-on service. Thermal Imaging detects things that can’t otherwise be seen, including air infiltration and heat loss, damaged radiant heating systems, and broken seals within double-paned windows. This is also a proven way to uncover leaks and moisture intrusion, along with hot spots in the home and pest infestations.
