Roof & Attic Inspection
Your roof is the first line of defense against the elements, and the attic is where hidden problems often begin. We perform a comprehensive top-down evaluation using both traditional methods and drone technology for steep or inaccessible areas.
Our inspectors assess the age, condition, and remaining lifespan of roofing materials. Inside the attic, we examine insulation levels, ventilation effectiveness, and signs of moisture intrusion or pest activity.
- Roofing material condition & lifespan estimate
- Flashing, valleys, and penetration seals
- Gutters, downspouts, and drainage
- Attic insulation R-value assessment
- Ventilation & moisture barrier evaluation
- Drone aerial photography for documentation
Electrical Inspection
Electrical defects are the leading cause of house fires in the United States. Our electrical inspection goes far beyond simply flipping switches — we evaluate the entire visible electrical system from the service entrance to individual receptacles.
We identify outdated wiring methods (such as knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring), improperly sized breakers, missing GFCI/AFCI protection, and any conditions that pose fire or shock hazards. Our thermal imaging cameras detect overheating connections invisible to the naked eye.
- Main service panel & breaker evaluation
- Wiring type identification & condition
- Grounding & bonding verification
- GFCI & AFCI protection testing
- Outlet polarity & functionality testing
- Thermal scan of panels & junctions
Plumbing Inspection
Water damage is one of the most common and expensive issues in residential properties. Our plumbing inspection covers every visible component of your water supply, drainage, and waste systems.
We assess water pressure, check for active leaks and signs of past water damage, evaluate the condition and material of piping, and inspect water heaters for safety and efficiency. We also check for proper venting and drain functionality throughout the property.
- Water supply line material & condition
- Drain, waste, and vent (DWV) system evaluation
- Water heater safety & efficiency check
- Water pressure testing at multiple fixtures
- Leak detection with moisture meters
- Fixture operation & condition assessment
HVAC Inspection
In Southern California’s climate, a reliable HVAC system is essential for comfort and air quality. We inspect all heating and cooling equipment to assess its age, condition, operational status, and expected remaining service life.
Our evaluation includes the furnace or heat pump, air conditioning condenser and evaporator, ductwork, air filters, and thermostat controls. We measure temperature differentials to verify proper system performance and use thermal imaging to detect duct leaks.
- Heating system operation & safety
- Air conditioning performance testing
- Ductwork condition & thermal imaging
- Thermostat calibration & operation
- Filter condition & air quality indicators
- Equipment age & remaining life estimate
Foundation & Structural Inspection
The foundation is arguably the most critical component of any building. Foundation problems can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair and significantly impact property value. Our structural evaluation is among the most thorough in the industry.
We examine the foundation type, visible cracks, settling patterns, drainage around the perimeter, and signs of moisture intrusion. In crawlspaces, we assess support framing, vapor barriers, and evidence of pest damage or wood rot.
- Foundation type & condition assessment
- Crack analysis & settlement evaluation
- Crawlspace structural framing review
- Moisture barrier & drainage assessment
- Grading & water management around structure
- Wood-destroying organism (WDO) indicators

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical inspection take?
A standard single-family home inspection takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on the property size and condition. We never rush — thoroughness is our priority. Larger or older homes may require additional time.
Should I attend the inspection?
Absolutely. We strongly encourage you to be present for at least the last hour. We’ll walk you through the property, point out our findings in real time, show you how systems work, and answer every question you have. It’s one of the most valuable parts of the process.
When will I receive my report?
In most cases, your comprehensive digital report will be delivered the same evening as your inspection. Our guaranteed turnaround is within 24 hours. Reports are accessible on any device via a secure link.
Do you inspect new construction homes?
Yes, and we highly recommend it. New construction homes can have significant defects that pass municipal building inspections. Our independent evaluation gives you confidence before your final walkthrough and closing.
Is thermal imaging really included at no extra cost?
Yes. Unlike many inspection companies that charge $150-300 extra for thermal scans, we include FLIR infrared imaging on every inspection at no additional charge. We believe this essential technology should be standard.
What if the inspection reveals major problems?
We provide you with the information — you decide what to do with it. Your report can be used to negotiate repairs with the seller, request a price reduction, plan your own repair timeline, or in some cases, walk away from the deal. We also provide estimated repair costs to help with negotiations.
