What Goes Into Your Inspection
Your home inspection is as unique as the home itself.
Every inspection is visual non-intrusive walk through. The first part of the inspection is a review of the property including the site grading, identify drainage issues, inspect and identify issues with the roof, foundation, any decking, and stairs, siding defects. We even look for issues created with improper location of foliage surrounding the home.
The inside of the home is thoroughly inspected. Each room given its own separate designation.

THERMOGRAPHY
Isle Inspection Services prides itself on having added digital Thermography to its inspection arsenal. While other inspection companies charge a premium fee if they do it at all. We think every inspection should have this done to help identify possible moisture or other thermal differential issues preventing expensive or possible health-related issues.
