THE PROCESS · 4 PHASES
How a forensic-grade inspection actually goes.
This isn’t a 90-minute walk-through with a clipboard. It’s a structured investigation in four distinct phases — every system measured, every defect photographed, every finding flagged by severity.
Electrical, HVAC & Plumbing
Panel mapping, outlet sampling, breaker amp-checks, furnace/AC efficiency, water-heater age, supply lines, drains, fixtures. We trace every system end-to-end.
Thermal & Forensic Capture
FLIR thermal scans surface hidden moisture, missing insulation, and electrical hot spots — defects no naked eye can see. Every flag photographed and tagged.
24-Hour Digital Report
Severity-flagged findings, photos, video clips, and a one-page executive summary — delivered in 24 hours or less. Your agent gets a document built to negotiate, not to skim.
Licensed, Insured & Certified
InterNACHI Master Certified, fully licensed, and insured. Every inspection follows the InterNACHI Standards of Practice — no shortcuts, no subcontracted work.
Inspector at the Wrap-Up
You walk the home with your inspector at the end. Every finding explained in person. Questions answered live. No phone tag, no follow-up gotchas.

CLIENT INTEL · 5.0★ AVG
Real Shakopee homeowners. Real outcomes.
58 verified five-star reviews and counting. Buyers, sellers, agents, and investors across Scott County and the south metro.
★★★★★
The thermal scan flagged moisture behind the basement drywall that was completely invisible. We renegotiated and saved nearly $18,000 on the closing. The report was on my agent’s desk before I got home.
★★★★★
I’ve worked with five inspectors over twenty years as a Realtor. This team is in a different league — they walk you through every finding live and the digital report is the cleanest I’ve ever sent to a client.
★★★★★
Sewer scope caught a collapsing clay line under the front yard — I would have been on the hook for $12k three months in. Worth every dollar of the add-on. Highly recommend.
DAY-OF · WHAT TO EXPECT
What inspection day actually looks like.
Most buyers have never been through this before. Here’s the full timeline — from arrival to digital report — so you know exactly what you’re getting.

00:00
Arrival & setup
We arrive 15 minutes early. Park out of the way, check in with your agent, and confirm utility access (water, gas, electric, breakers). The radon monitor goes down first — it needs the full 48 hours to read.

Exterior & roof
Foundation walk, grading, drainage, siding, soffit/fascia, chimney, gutters. Drone goes up if the roof is steep, fragile, or two-story-plus. Every elevation photographed.

01:30
Interior systems
Room-by-room. Walls, ceilings, doors, windows, fixtures, outlets, GFCI/AFCI, smoke alarms, fireplaces. Then attic — insulation depth, ventilation, framing, signs of past leaks.
