At Pilot Home Inspection, we're always looking for ways to improve our inspection services and provide our clients with the most accurate and detailed reports possible. That's why we use modern technology to enhance our inspections. We're committed to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to inspection services, and we're proud to offer the latest technology to our clients.
Mold Detection
Mold detection is performed by a professional home inspector or mold remediation specialist using various tools and methods. A visual inspection is the first step, looking for visible signs of mold such as discoloration or fuzzy growth. Moisture meters and infrared cameras can help identify areas prone to mold growth. Air and surface sampling, as well as tape lift sampling, are other methods used to test for the presence and extent of mold contamination. A combination of these methods is often used to perform mold detection.
Drone Imaging
Drone inspection is a method of inspecting hard-to-reach areas of a property using an unmanned aerial vehicle. This technology allows inspectors to capture high-resolution images and videos of roofs, gutters, chimneys, and other areas that may be difficult or dangerous to access. Drone inspections can help identify potential issues such as roof damage, leaks, or missing shingles, which can be costly to repair if left undetected.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is a method of detecting and measuring temperature variations using an infrared camera. The camera captures infrared radiation emitted by objects and converts it into an image that shows variations in temperature. In home inspections, thermal imaging is used to detect potential issues such as water leaks, air leaks, and electrical problems. By detecting temperature changes, the camera can identify areas of heat loss or gain, which can indicate insulation deficiencies or air leaks. Additionally, thermal imaging can detect moisture in walls, ceilings, and floors, which can help identify areas prone to mold growth or water damage.
Water Quality Testing
Water quality testing is the process of analyzing a water sample to determine its chemical, physical, and biological characteristics. The tests can help identify contaminants such as bacteria, lead, pesticides, nitrates, and other harmful substances that may be present in the water. In home inspections, water quality testing is typically performed on private well systems or municipal water supplies to ensure the water is safe for consumption.
Radon Testing
Radon testing is the process of measuring the level of radon gas in a home or building. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is released from the ground and can accumulate in indoor spaces. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can increase the risk of lung cancer. In home inspections, radon testing is typically performed using a radon detector that measures the level of radon gas in the air.
