The Stand By Way

We go beyond the minimum. These added tools are included with every inspection at no extra cost to help uncover hidden issues and deliver the clearest picture of your home.

 Foundation Elevation Survey
Zip Level readings are taken throughout the home at the time of inspection to help identify signs of slope or movement. Combined with visible stress indicators—like interior and exterior cracks or sticking doors—these measurements offer a stronger performance opinion and provide a valuable baseline for future comparison.
 Drone Roof Inspection
When a roof cannot be safely walked, drone imaging ensures we capture high-quality visuals of roof coverings, flashing, and other components from every angle.
 Thermal Imaging Scan
Infrared technology helps uncover temperature anomalies that can point to missing insulation, air leaks, or potential moisture issues not visible to the naked eye.
 Moisture Detection Tools
Advanced moisture meters are used in conjunction with the thermal camera to confirm elevate moisture levels that may indicate hidden leaks or water intrusion.
