Credentials for Home Inspection, Mold Inspection, and Radon Inspection
All of our home inspectors are ASHI certified home inspectors. Founded in 1976, the American Society of Home Inspectors is North America’s oldest, most
respected society of home inspectors. ASHI home inspector members must adhere to rigorous standards of home inspection practice and a strict code of ethics. For a home inspector to
advance from Associate to Full member, he or she must pass a national home inspection examination, complete 250 documented home inspections, as well as undergo peer reviews.
ASHI requires 20 hour of continuing education every year for home inspectors. All of our inspectors are certified home inspectors, the highest ranking in ASHI.

What is IR Thermography?
Thermography is a technology that actually allows us to see thermal energy or heat during a home inspection! Thermography can be used in any circumstance where
the identification of thermal patterns can be used to find something (such as a missing person) or diagnose a condition (such as a
poor electrical connection in a home) as part of a home inspection. If you think about all the heat related activities in our lives, you will see the application possibilities for home inspections
are huge! We do not provide this service with our standard home inspection, it is an add-on that will cost more. Thermography inspection also takes more time than the
standard home inspection.
