Does your home inspector use thermal imaging and perform foundation measurements? Brad Leland includes both services as part of every home inspection in La Porte, Texas.
Using an infrared thermal imaging camera, Brad checks for unusual temperature patterns that may indicate moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, or other potential concerns. Thermal imaging does not see through walls or detect every hidden defect, but it is a valuable additional inspection tool.
Brad also performs foundation measurements during every inspection to help identify elevation differences that may indicate potential foundation movement. These measurements provide additional information about the home's condition and help determine whether further evaluation may be appropriate.
Combined with more than 26 years of home inspection experience, these tools help Brad provide detailed, informative inspections so buyers can make more confident decisions.
Every home inspection includes a detailed, easy-to-understand report with photographs documenting the findings. Reports are typically delivered the same day or the following day, depending on the home's condition. You'll have the information you need to make confident decisions about your home.
