Whether you're buying, selling, or dealing with an insurance requirement, our Wilmette, 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. We cross-reference exterior readings against any interior staining for a fuller picture.
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences that often indicate hidden moisture or insulation gaps behind siding. Scans are done at a time of day with enough temperature differential to read clearly, not just whenever convenient.
Reports clearly note condition, damage if present, and estimated remaining service life. Reports include photo-referenced findings keyed to specific elevations for easy adjuster or underwriter review.
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.
After hail or wind events, we check for damage that isn't obvious from the ground, including hairline cracking. We compare findings against known storm dates and hail size data for the area when available.
We'll confirm timeline needs, especially for real estate closing deadlines.
An inspector arrives with moisture meters and thermal imaging equipment to assess the full exterior.
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.
Thermal imaging showed an insulation gap we never would have found just looking at the surface.
Got the insurance-formatted report exactly when we needed it for a policy renewal deadline.
Inspector explained everything clearly on-site before we even got the written report.
Report was detailed enough that our contractor knew exactly where to focus the repair.
Flat-rate pricing means no incentive to inflate what we find.
