High Technology

Aerial roof Inspection with drone

The latest aerial technology delivers exceptional clarity and detail when evaluating roofs of any height and material. Surprisingly, only about 30% of roofs can be inspected manually due to challenges like limited access. RPAS (drone) systems make it possible to inspect all types of roofs with the highest precision and speed, completing the task in a much shorter time.

Infrared Thermal Imaging Inspection

Infrared thermal imaging inspections provide a powerful, non-invasive solution for identifying hidden issues within your property. By detecting temperature variations, this advanced technology uncovers potential problems such as moisture intrusion, electrical hazards, missing insulation, and energy inefficiencies that are invisible to the naked eye. Whether for residential or commercial properties, thermal imaging offers a fast and accurate way to assess your building’s condition, helping you address concerns early and avoid costly repairs. Protect your investment and ensure a safer, more efficient property with our professional infrared thermal imaging services.

Advanced Moisture Meter inspection

An advanced moisture meter is an essential tool in modern home inspections, designed to detect moisture levels in building materials with pinpoint accuracy. This high-tech device can identify hidden moisture problems, such as water intrusion, leaks, or condensation, which can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage if left untreated.

Air Quality Inspection 

Poor air quality can lead to health issues like allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems, making it essential to identify and address these issues early. An air quality inspection provides homeowners with detailed insights and recommendations for improving ventilation, filtration, and overall air safety in their property.

 

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS GOAL #1
