WELCOME
My name is Shawn Santos, Founder and lead inspector. I understand buying a house can be a very stressful situation. Allow us to take one of the most nerve racking aspects in the home buying process and turn it into a learning opportunity. We don't simply walk into a home, and rely solely on finding things with our eyes, but we use top of the line tools to help us find things that our eyes cannot see. Whether its how we use our drones to inspect roofs that we cant walk due to the height, or the variety of moisture meters which can detect moisture in walls up to 1 inch deep, or how we use infrared technology to identify hidden leaks, or areas in the home which are subject to poor energy efficiency. Some of the major systems we inspect in every home can be seen below.
