Healthy Home and Mold Inspections

Check out what I found during a recent inspection in Pea Ridge! At first glance, this shower looked perfectly fine. I ran the water and tested the surround just like any standard inspection, but it wasn't until I pulled out the thermal imaging camera that the real story emerged. ​The infrared scan revealed a slow leak seeping under the wall, traveling directly into the bedroom and soaking into the carpet. Without thermal technology, this hidden moisture would have gone undete

Think a newer home is "maintenance-free"? Think again. This 18-month-old home had ductwork that completely detached, meaning the owners were paying to climate-control the dirt under their house while pulling crawlspace air into their bedrooms. ​This is why a 1-year warranty inspection or a routine maintenance check is a must. Don't wait for your energy bill to spike or your air quality to drop before looking under the hood. 🏠🔍 Healthy Home and Mold Inspections on Google...

New construction doesn't always mean "perfect." 🏠 ​Check out this thermal scan. To the naked eye, these walls look 100% ready for move-in. But my infrared camera tells a different story: massive gaps in the insulation. ❄️🔥 ​Without a thermography inspection, these homeowners would’ve been paying to heat the neighborhood all winter. This is why we don't just "look" at a house—we scan it. ​Don't just hope your new home is efficient. Know it is. 🛠️✨ https://www.tiktok.com/t/Z

You pay seven figures for the view, the marble, and the zip code... but apparently, the door trim was an optional upgrade? ​I’m doing a final walkthrough on this new construction and found the "Industrial Exposed Hardware" look in the primary bath. Is it a bold new design choice, or did the trim carpenter just clock out early? ​I’ll give you a hint: It’s definitely not supposed to look like that. 🚩 ​The Question: If this was your "dream home," would you let this slide? Let m

Whether you’re building from scratch or buying new, don’t assume "built to code" means "built to last." ​I’m out here on a pre-closing inspection for a new construction home, and this is exactly why you hire a private inspector. Most municipal code inspectors won't actually walk the roof—but if you aren't up here, you’re missing the big picture. ​On this one, I found two major red flags: ​Improper Pitch: The roofing material used isn't rated for a roof this flat. That’s a lea

This wall looked perfectly dry to the naked eye, but the thermal camera tells a different story. That purple/blue bloom you see is a hidden water leak tucked away behind the drywall. ​Without thermography, this would have stayed hidden until the mold started growing or the carpet got wet. Always worth the extra look! 🏠💻 https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThv6AsuJ/ https://youtube.com/shorts/LyROnDIUouc?si=XIlj_9zF3yjEPUlY ​#HomeInspection #Thermography #HiddenLeaks #ArkansasRealEsta
