Inspections. Inside out.™
We're big on having the right tools to inspect homes with and using the best technology available. That is why we use a thermal camera - like the one Mike Holmes uses on his TV shows - to evaluate the critical areas of the home that may be prone to water intrusion, insulation problems and electrical and plumbing issues that the naked eye simply can’t see.
Infrared thermal cameras give home inspectors that use them a huge advantage in identifying potential problem areas for their clients. Unfortunately, home inspections conducted without a thermal camera can cause substantial problems to go by unnoticed and unreported for the homebuyer.
For homeowners who suspect an unseen water leak, energy loss, pest infestation, or electrical problems, an infrared thermal camera scan can pinpoint problem areas without using destructive invasive measures such as tearing walls out.
Interior Thermal Imaging - a division of Subject 2 Home Inspections - serves Kelowna, Kamloops, Vernon, Penticton and Salmon Arm with state-of-the-art, highly accurate thermal imaging services.
We've been inspecting homes for years and we have a keen eye for developing issues. You can be rest assured we'll evaluate the roof covering and drainage systems. We investigate attics and crawlspaces for good construction practices. We open up the electrical panel and examine the health of the electrical system. We'll also assess the hot water tank, furnace and air conditioning systems for you. If your not sure what your looking at, or what to look for, and with time running out before your purchase offer closes, now is time for an experienced set of professional eyes to evaluate the home for you.
Inspections. Inside out.™
Good home inspections have to be thorough and that takes time. We go inside out assessing hundreds of aspects of the home for you. In fact, we go top to bottom too. Evaluating residential mechanical and structural systems is our profession. Explaining them to you is our forte.
Pricing includes an onsite consultation where we discuss our findings and focus on your questions. After the consultation we wrap up all of the above information into a Subject 2 Home Inspections Discovery Report™ that is available by email. Locations outside of our general service area, homes over 4,000 feet, marijuana grow operations, or homes built prior to 1965 may require additional fees. Prices are subject to change and do not include HST.
Then you'll need an inspection that includes the use of a thermal imaging camera and one-on-one on site consultation about the inspection and the home. When we work together, our on site consultation will be the most important part of the inspection process and will offer you the maximum benefit from your home inspection. The best inspections include your participation, and that ensures that all of the questions you have about the home will be answered to your complete satisfaction.
Your inspection and consultation will be followed up with our easy-to-read Subject 2 Home Inspections Discovery Report™ summarizing the on site consultation and our findings which is emailed directly to you.
