A home inspection report from an experienced home contractor can give you the information you need to make the best decision. No matter if you are looking for outdoor inspection services or indoor inspection services, we offer you an inspection that will cover all aspects of the home, by me personally. I have been in the construction business for 17yrs and i am already experienced to catch existing or future problems in your home.

When I inspect your property I will look at the following areas:

Outdoor Areas Inspected
- Properties External Walls
  Gates / Fencing / Surface Drainage
  Exterior Stairways and Skylights
  Integrity of Retaining Walls
  Outdoor Structures
  Decks / Balconies
  
  Roof Area: Tiles, Fascia’s and Guttering
  Sub-Floor Area
  Patios & Driveways and paths
  Investigate for cracks and /or movement or structural deterioration (concrete pavers) etc.
  And many other items of interest.
Indoor Areas Inspected
- ATTICS
  PLUMBING AND FIXTURES
  INTERIOR STRUCTURES
  Floors and ceilings, walls, stairs (if applicable) and banisters, finishes, sinks, cabinets, shelving, smoke detectors and safety-related items, and other visible interior-related components.
  HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS
  BASEMENTS, CRAWL SPACES, AND FOUNDATION
  
  GARAGES
  DECKS AND PORCHES
  ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
  Service entry and clearances, service panel, switches and outlets, visible wiring and junction boxes, grounding system, and other related electrical components.
  FIREPLACES
  OVERALL STRUCTURE
Termite Inspection
- Buying a house can be a huge investment for you and your family. This is why it is important that you make sure that you are getting your money's worth by getting a property and termite inspection together. Although a home may look perfect, it may actually be plagued with all kinds of termites from the inside. Wood Destroying Organisms may be stealthily at destroying structural areas of your home. This is the reason why you need to get a building inspection.
  
  Do you know that house termites can actually multiply by tens and thousands within a matter of days? Many homeowners are not even aware that termites are eating at the structure of their home. Long Island NY has one of the highest percentage of termite infestation in the United States. This is why you need to get a termite inspection.
Thermal Imaging
- Introducing: Infrared Thermography
  
  This is a non-destructive testing technique, which is defined as the non-contact imaging and analysis of thermal energy from the surface of an object. An Infrared Camera detects and converts energy from the infrared spectrum into the visible spectrum. This technology allows the Home Inspector to "see" things that normally would not be detectable.
  
  Within the scope of a Home Inspection, the Certified Inspector can identify and locate such things as:
  
  Missing, compressed or improperly installed Insulation.
  Wet areas.
  Excessive air movement.
  Issues with Electric and Hydronic radiant floor heating systems.
  
  House Pro Home Inspections uses this infrared technology with each and every inspection, as part of our Home indoor and outdoor Inspection Services at an extra cost.
  
  What is it and how would my home benefit?
  
  Infrared Thermographic inspection is a powerful, non-destructive and non-invasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the overall condition of buildings. It is used in applications, such as inspections, where conventional testing equipment and/or visual inspections are incapable of obtaining satisfactory results.
  
  Infrared Thermography technology provides immediate documentation of plumbing and building envelope water leakage, post-flood and fire water-damaged material assessment and energy use inefficiency, and electrical problems.
  
  How the camera works
  
  All objects radiate heat in the form of infrared energy, hot or cold. As an object increases in temperature, it radiates more energy. Infrared radiation, visible light and ultraviolet light are all forms of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, their differences is denoted by wavelengths and/or frequencies.
  
  The infrared camera detects infrared energy well before it can be seen with our eyes. Most cameras can image temperatures from -20ºC to 500ºC, even extended further to -40ºC, and up to 2000ºC. The camera converts the invisible infrared energy into a two-dimensional visual image and displays this on a standard screen. Most industrial cameras can also make temperature measurements accurate to ±2% at 30ºC. The thermal information is stored onto a memory card and is later downloaded into a computer to create report.
  
  What are common applications of infrared thermography?
  
  Infrared thermography is a tool that can save energy in residential, commercial and industrial situations An Infrared inspection monitors and diagnoses the condition of buildings. As it quickly identifies problem areas that can’t be seen by the naked eye and eliminates estructive probing methods (which extends the building life). In new construction, the infrared can confirm proper construction. All results are captured and documented instantly and easily into professional reports - providing tangible proof of the findings. This could potentially save both time and money.
