Thermal Imaging during a home inspection...What it can uncover.
Thermography, Infared or Thermal Imaging, has been around for many years now. I personally think this should be a must when you are doing a home inspection as it provides so much value to my clients which is why I include it Free with every inspection. It a great way to narrow down issues during a home inspection, and lets face it, its pretty cool as well.
10 Things You Should Know About Home Inspections
Here at House to Home Inspections we have compiled a list of 10 Things Buyers Should Know About Home Inspections. Give it a read before we head out to your inspection and hopefully this will alleviate some of your jitters and give you the ability to go into your purchase feeling a bit more educated and informed.
Ice Damming
Ice damming occurs when the temperature is below freezing but snow located over a warmer area of the roof of the house melts and runs down the roof line into a colder area, often out over the eaves or an unheated porch, and then refreezes. As this process continues through several freeze/thaw cycles, the area of refreezing becomes a raised ridge, similar to a dam in a river holding back a lake. The melt water pools behind the ridge of ice, and often backs up under the shingles causing a leak and water damage to the roof sheathing, structure and the interior of the home.
Sage Hill, Calgary Home Inspection
Inspected this really nice attached home in Sage Hill, Calgary, Alberta. Being a Calgary home inspector, it's kinda nice when you inspect a home and they have pets there.... Just make sure to let us know before hand so we don't leave any doors open.
Airdrie Home Inspection
Recently did a home inspection on this detached home in Airdrie, Alberta. The home inspection went smoothly. As a home inspector, I find it is always best when the clients attend the home inspection. That way it is easier to explain any deficiency that is found. It also allows me to go over all systems in the home to go over any maintenance items and to explain how they operate. However, if you are unable to attend, you will still have a great understanding because you will recieve a very detailed, thorough, home inspection report.
Crossfield, Alberta Home Inspection
Just wrapped up a home inspection for a really nice family in Crossfield, Alberta. It was a really nice, detached home. Some people think they don't need a home inspector for a new build, but even for a brand new home, odds are I will still find multiple deficiencies. Yes, they are already inspected by the city, but I am very thorough and will always find issues. As always, customers will be provided a very detailed report with lots of pictures, locations of your shut offs, and maintenance items.
