Syte Inspections has you covered

Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Inspection

Purchasing a new home also means buying that home's problem. With a pre-purchase home inspection you can see exactly what you're buying. Problems discovered during the inspection could allow you to re-negotiate to offset the cost of the repairs-potentially saving you thousands of dollars. We will also help you become familiar with the property.

Pre-Listing (Seller's) Inspection

Sometimes selling your home can be just as much of a roller coaster buying one. Getting a pre-listing home inspection can help ensure a quick and smooth transaction. You can enter the selling process with confidence that there won't be any unpleasant surprises. You'll also avoid delays, which could last for weeks or even months.

Thermal Imaging

The home-buying market depends on professional Home Inspectors to provide detailed inspections for property sales. While visual inspections are thorough, there is only so much that the human eye can see and detect.

Thermal Imaging uses advanced technology to find hot and cold areas of the home. A heat map can show you exactly where your home is losing heat and wasting money on your energy bill. It can also show you hot spots for items such as electrical issues that can pose a safety hazard. Cold areas can expose leaks and other water and moisture issues.
