01 / What to expect from your inspection.

Residential Inspection

At Sola Fide Home Inspections, our goal is to provide thorough, accurate, and actionable insights about your home. Whether you're purchasing, selling, or maintaining a property, our Residential Inspection gives you the clarity and confidence you need to make informed decisions.

01

Comprehensive System Inspection

We examine all major systems, including the roof, structure, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing, using industry-leading tools to go beyond what's visible to the naked eye. At Sola Fide Home Inspections, our goal is to provide thorough, accurate, and actionable insights about your home, whether you're purchasing, selling, or maintaining a property.

02

Foundation Assessment with Zip Level

One of the key tools we use is a Zip Level elevation measurement system, which allows us to precisely assess the levelness of your foundation. Foundation movement can lead to sticking doors, sloped floors, or cracks in the walls, often symptoms of settling or structural shift. The Zip Level helps us determine whether your foundation is performing within normal tolerances or showing signs of more significant movement. This data-backed approach gives you clear, quantifiable insight into your home's structural condition.

03

Thermal Imaging Inspection

We also conduct thermal inspections using professional infrared cameras. This technology detects temperature differences within walls, ceilings, and floors, helping to identify hidden issues such as moisture intrusion, missing insulation, overheated electrical wiring, or leaking ductwork. Thermal inspections are especially valuable for uncovering problems that might not be evident during a visual inspection. These findings can help prevent future damage, improve energy efficiency, and enhance the safety of your home.

04

Your Detailed Digital Report

At the end of every inspection, you receive a detailed digital report with color photos, diagrams, and clear recommendations. We also take the time to explain our findings and answer your questions. Our approach is not just about identifying problems; it's about helping you understand what they mean and what to do next.

05

The Walkthrough

After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read HIVE report, delivered in HTML and/or PDF format, complete with images for reference.
