Should I get an infrared inspection before buying a home in Houston?

Absolutely. A pre-purchase infrared inspection reveals hidden problems that a standard visual inspection cannot detect. Houston's climate makes homes susceptible to moisture intrusion, and thermal imaging can identify water damage, mold risk, and insulation deficiencies before you close.

How is an infrared home inspection different from a standard inspection?

A standard inspection relies on visual observation, while an infrared inspection uses the FLIR T620 thermal camera with 307,200 picture elements to see temperature differences that reveal hidden problems. We combine both methods for the most comprehensive home inspection available in Houston.
