disclaimer
stuff.
A home inspection is kind of like an annual check-up at the doctor. It’s used to make sure things are working properly & it can be useful in spotting things that might eventually become a problem
Some people actually think we come equipped with a crystal ball, a flux capacitor or even X-Ray vision! Unfortunately, we can’t go into the past, go “Back to the Future” or, like Superman, see through walls.
Disclaimers are boring so I won’t get into that but please understand we can only visually inspect what we see today. Every house is different just like every customer has different expectations of what a home inspection should be. However, we know some people like to read the report in its entirety. Attached we provided you with a full copy of our Standards of Practice & Disclaimers.
If you are reading this then obviously the details matter to you. You’d make a great home inspector.

 | Additional Thermal Scan Scanned for anomalies. We inspected all around the closet and the areas surrounding the attic hatch using our thermal camera to check for any hidden signs of moisture intrusion, air leakage, or insulation gaps. By scanning the ceiling, walls, and trim, we ensured there were no thermal anomalies that might indicate issues such as missing insulation, cold spots, or hidden water damage. The thermal imaging helped confirm that the surrounding areas were consistent with expected temperature patterns, showing no evidence of active concerns at the time of inspection. | |

 | Additional Thermal Scan We conducted a thorough thermal scan of the entire third-floor walls and ceilings, carefully reviewing each area for any irregularities that could indicate moisture, insulation gaps, or thermal bridging. The scan revealed that most surfaces were performing as expected, with temperature patterns appearing uniform and consistent throughout. Only a few minor anomalies were detected—none of which suggested active moisture or significant heat loss at the time of inspection. These small variations are common and typically result from framing patterns or slight changes in airflow within the home. | |

 | Additional Thermal Scan We performed a full thermal scan of the second-floor walls and ceilings, focusing on areas that are typically prone to air leakage or hidden moisture. The scan showed consistent temperature readings across the majority of the surfaces, with no major concerns identified. A few minor thermal variations were noted, likely related to standard construction details such as framing intersections or slight insulation inconsistencies. Overall, the second floor appeared well-sealed and free of any significant thermal or moisture-related issues at the time of inspection. | |

 | Additional Thermal Scan We carried out a detailed thermal scan of the entire main floor, paying special attention to high-traffic areas, exterior walls, and key transition points like doorways, windows, and baseboards. This level of the home tends to reveal the most about how a building is performing overall, as it’s often where temperature fluctuations and energy loss first become noticeable. Using our thermal camera, we scanned the walls and ceilings for any hidden signs of air leakage, moisture intrusion, or insulation gaps. The results were very consistent, with temperature readings aligning with expectations for a well-maintained home. A couple of subtle anomalies were picked up—most likely due to minor insulation settling or framing details—but nothing that would indicate an active issue. The main floor showed no evidence of thermal bridging or water-related concerns, providing added peace of mind about the condition and energy efficiency of this level. | |

37
 | Additional Thermal Scan In the basement, we focused our thermal scan specifically on the foundation walls and other common trouble spots where moisture intrusion is known to occur. This included a detailed inspection around basement windows, where water can seep in due to poor sealing or grading, and along the base of the foundation walls where hydrostatic pressure often leads to minor seepage or cracking. We also paid close attention to inside corners and vertical seams—areas where concrete tends to naturally crack over time. Using our thermal camera, we looked for temperature variations that could suggest active moisture or hidden water entry behind the finished surfaces. At the time of inspection, there were no significant thermal anomalies noted, and all observed readings were consistent with a dry and stable environment. While minor foundation settlement cracks are common in most homes, we found no evidence that any of them were contributing to current moisture issues. | |
