Home Inspection
From top to bottom, Xamine inspects all visible aspects of your home. We’ll pay careful attention to things that are going to affect health and safety first, and then the durability of the property. Are you able to live in it immediately or are there things that will need to be addressed first? Xamine will look at all of these things and tell you the truth. We’ll start each inspection with a conversation and then custom-tailor our service to your needs. It’s important that we’re a good fit, and we’ll never waste your money on services you don’t want or need.
Thermal Imaging
Our thermal imaging services are included with each home inspection at no extra charge. Xamine uses an infrared camera that detects things on your property not revealed by conventional inspection methods. Thermal imaging can show heat loss and air infiltration in walls, floors, ceilings, windows and doors. We’ll also look for moisture intrusion like plumbing leaks, hidden roof leaks, damaged or wet insulation and areas of concern around your foundation that could lead to structural damage or mold. Our infrared camera will reveal any hot spots in your home that may indicate electrical issues. Thermal imaging also can help find possible pest infestations through their heat signatures which show as color gradients in our images.

- Roofing

Your Inspection Report
Xamine uses HomeGauge Software Services to give you the highest quality home inspection report that you may access from your laptop, tablet or smartphone. Your home inspection report will include all of our notes and images, along with an interactive tool unique to HomeGauge called Create Request List. This tool enables the buyer, seller or agent to indicate how issues should be resolved from within the report. The requests are dated and a record is kept of who requested what, and when. We find this extremely valuable as it reduces tension and allows communications to move forward smoothly between all parties.
Additional Services
