Whether you're buying, selling, or dealing with an insurance requirement, our Lemont, IL inspectors document exactly what's really going on.
We use calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect trapped water behind panels that a visual check alone would miss.
Thermal scans can reveal insulation gaps and moisture patterns invisible to the naked eye.
Equipment is calibrated regularly, since a poorly calibrated moisture meter gives false readings either direction.
Inspectors are trained specifically on siding-related moisture and structural issues, not general home inspection basics.
Reports are backed by professional liability coverage appropriate for inspection work.
Real estate transactions often have tight deadlines — we prioritize scheduling around closing dates.
Insurance-requested inspections get scheduled quickly to avoid claim or renewal delays.
Every inspection includes a clear, written report with photos, not just a verbal walkthrough summary.
Pricing is flat-rate regardless of what we find, so there's no incentive to inflate findings.
Different situations call for different depths of inspection — here's what we offer.
Before you buy, we check for hidden moisture, rot, and installation defects that a general home inspection might miss. We check age-appropriate wear against the home's stated construction date, flagging any mismatch worth asking the seller about.
We identify the likely source of moisture intrusion, not just confirm that it exists. Multiple readings are taken per suspect area, since a single reading can be misleading if the meter contacts an unusual spot.
This non-invasive method finds problems without removing any panels. We explain thermal patterns in plain language in the report, not just raw images without context.
Reports clearly note condition, damage if present, and estimated remaining service life. We can revise report format on request if your specific insurer has a preferred layout.
A clean inspection report can also be a selling point during negotiations. We can provide a redacted summary version if you'd rather not share every technical detail with buyers.
Reports are formatted to support an insurance claim if damage is found. A follow-up re-inspection is offered at reduced cost if repairs are made and you want documentation of the fix.
We'll confirm timeline needs, especially for real estate closing deadlines.
The full walk typically takes under two hours depending on home size.
If repair or replacement is needed, we can provide a separate estimate for that work.
Reports are formatted appropriately depending on whether they're for a buyer, seller, or insurer.
