Optional Services

INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING

This optional service is truly remarkable. Using my infrared (IR) camera, I can detect hidden issues behind finished surfaces in your building. If there are finished walls or ceilings in living areas, basements, or attics that are part of the exterior structure, my IR camera can identify insulation gaps and concealed problems—without the need for destructive testing. This advanced imaging technology captures and measures thermal energy emitted by objects, allowing me to map and interpret temperature variations. These thermal readings can reveal serious issues that are invisible to the naked eye or conventional photography.

Hi Dave,

I just wanted to write a quick thank you for your work inspecting 43 1/2 Bartholomew Street in Peabody yesterday. As a buyer in the process of trying to purchase my first home, it's been difficult to know who to trust. I honestly cannot believe some of the stuff I've run into, so I had to write & let you know that I found you professional, competent, & all around above par. In all of the people I've had to deal with up to this point, you were one of the few that actually took the time to explain things in a way that an inexperienced first time home buyer would understand. I never once felt rushed or talked down to.

Based on your inspection, I've decided not to purchase the home at 43 1/2 Bartholomew Street. I will however, continue to look & will hopefully find a house more suited to my needs in the near future. When that happens I will be calling on your expertise once again. In the meantime, I will certainly recommend you to any of my family & friends that may need a home inspection.

Thanks again,

Lisa G.
