Thermal imaging
  A valuable tool in home inspections because it can reveal hidden issues that aren't visible to the naked eye. Some benefits of thermal imaging include identifying potential problems with insulation, electrical systems, and moisture intrusion.

​​ ​       ​Roof Inspection With Drone
 Drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras that can capture intricate details in 4K video or high-definition still images. This allows inspectors to zoom in on specific areas to identify even subtle issues like small cracks in shingles, minor signs of water damage, loose flashing, or clogged gutters, things that can be missed from the ground.

What's included in our home inspection

​​Our residential property inspection is a thorough evaluation of a home’s visible and readily accessible components.
During the inspection, our inspector looks for any potential issues, defects, and safety concerns. He will also provide general maintenance suggestions. A comprehensive, detailed report will be ready on the following day.
Infrared thermography is used as necessary at no extra cost to go beyond the visible to pinpoint the sources of potential moisture intrusion, energy loss, electrical hotspots, missing insulation, and sometimes even clogged plumbing.
A Drone Inspection is used if the roof is deemed unsafe to walk by the inspector. This allows us to see the roof in great detail, impossible to do with just a pair of binoculars. 

We inspect the following areas:
  • Roofing System 
  • Skylights, Chimney and other roof penetrations
  • ​Fireplace damper door and hearth
  • Gutters and downspouts
  • Foundation & Crawl Space
  • Structural Components
  • Basement
  • Garage & Carport
  • Deck & Balcony
  • Driveways & Walk
  • Exterior (cladding, doors, windows)
  • Water penetration
  • Grading and drainageways

For Pro-Active Sellers: Pre-Sale Inspection

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin

Increased Marketability
Pre-Market Inspections can make the property more sellable. Deficiencies with the property can be discovered and/or remedied without negotiations. Homes with a pre-market property inspection are more attractive to buyers and will often have an easier period of escrow. We can inspect your home if you are preparing to list or if it is already on the market. It is never too late! 
​Schedule a professional pre-listing inspection with Iron Gates Property Inspections. Our Certified Professional Inspectors will clarify your home’s current condition and help you to prioritize any needed repairs. Don’t give additional leverage to a buyer looking to cut the asking price for your house. Instead, showing a responsibility for necessary repairs creates a more trustful environment for your deal. It is 100% a WIN-WIN situation.

For Wise Buyers: Pre-Purchase Inspections


Before you make your offer, it is wise to learn of the home’s actual condition from the foundation up to the chimney. We thoroughly examine all systems and components of a house. Our comprehensive reports are always supported with pictures, videos and infra-red imaging. We make it easy to understand if there are any issues or defects in the house. It is never too late!
