Colonial Home Inspections
New York Licensed Home Inspector

Welcome!

This is your home - be sure to choose a qualified home inspection professional to inspect it. Anyone else is just looking around!

... Home ownership is the American Dream. That dream can quickly become a nightmare, however, for uninformed buyers. Even newly constructed homes can harbor costly mistakes - mistakes that may not be visible to the untrained eye.

Thermal Imaging Inspections in upstate New York

Our state of the art infrared technology can detect hidden problems in your home, through thermal images, such as electrical hot spots, moisture, energy loss, plumbing leaks, heat/AC system, and many other defects not visible to the eye. The entire house from the foundation, roof, insulation, walls, ceilings, windows, doors, electrical, appliances, plumbing, drainage, heat/AC, attic, fire & safety issues, etc. This is included with every Home Inspection.

Infrared (thermal imaging) is an advanced, non-destructive technology that allows me to show you things about your home that no one can show you with conventional inspection methods.

An infrared inspection can identify and document:

electrical faults before they cause a fire;
overloaded and undersized circuits;
circuit breakers in need of immediate replacement;
missing, damaged and/or wet insulation;
heat loss and air infiltration in walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors;
water and moisture intrusion that could lead to mold;
possible pest infestation;
hidden roof leaks before they cause serious damage;
air-conditioner compressor leaks;
under-fastening and/or missing framing members;
structural defects;
broken seals in double-pane windows;
energy loss and efficiency;
dangerous flue leaks;
damaged and/or malfunctioning radiant heating systems;
unknown plumbing leaks; and
overheated equipment.
