SoCal Home Inspects

During a recent home inspection, I used thermal imaging to compare roof temperatures in direct sunlight versus areas shaded by a mature tree.

The difference was dramatic.

The shaded portion of the roof measured approximately 76°F, while the sun-exposed portion measured approximately 140°F at the same time.

That’s a temperature difference of nearly 65°F on the same roof.

Thermal imaging doesn’t just help identify defects. It can also help homeowners better understand how sunlight, shade, landscaping, and building materials affect a home’s performance.

I redid my website and added this interactive diagram of what is inspected. I think it’s pretty cool.

To all my buddies. I created—with the help of ChatGPT—an interactive diagram of what we inspect. It’s freaking awesome. Check it out. You guys can click on my website to see it live. I’m happy to give you the html so you can add it to your website. FREE!!!

Inspecting an attic, I ran into Little Squirrel from TreeTop. Say hello to my little buddy.

The best thing about this job is the places I get to see.

New construction. Undersized breaker. SMH.

Technically, it’s safe; but I wouldn’t deliver completed work like this. Oh, and this is a follow up of the follow up of the contractor who uses water bottles to repair the roof🤣
