Services
Buyers Home Inspection
Our Buyers Home Inspection thoroughly evaluates roofing, electrical systems, plumbing, structural integrity, and HVAC components using advanced tools like thermal imaging cameras. We provide digital reports with photos and videos for clarity. This service includes free pest and thermal inspections to identify hidden issues.
Commercial Inspection
Light commercial building inspections cover properties up to 50,000 square feet, identifying structural, electrical, and mechanical concerns. We use drone photography and moisture meters to detect potential problems. Reports help businesses make informed purchasing decisions for warehouses, retail spaces, and office buildings.
Thermal Inspection
This service uses thermal imaging to detect temperature variations revealing hidden moisture, insulation gaps, or electrical hotspots. We integrate infrared images directly into reports for visual clarity. Thermal scans help identify energy efficiency improvements and prevent costly repairs.
Pest Inspection
Pest inspectors examine properties for termites, carpenter ants, and wood-destroying organisms. We include this service at no extra cost with all home inspections. Reports highlight current infestations and prevention recommendations to protect property investments.
Pre-Offer Inspection
Pre-offer inspections help buyers assess property conditions before making offers. We identify major repair needs and maintenance issues using drones and gas detectors. This service gives buyers confidence in making competitive offers based on accurate property assessments.

Keven was extremely professional, very honest and upfront about the issues he found during our inspection. He found issues that should have been found by the original inspectors when this house was built and prior to occupancy. I would highly recommend Keven and True North Inspections.
