Residential Inspections
Whole-home evaluations for every stage of homeownership, from your first purchase to your final sale.
Buyer's Inspections
A top-to-bottom assessment of the home you are buying, covering structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. You get an honest picture of the property's condition before you commit.
Seller's Inspections
A pre-listing inspection that surfaces issues before buyers find them, so you can repair, price, or disclose on your own terms and keep your San Diego sale on track.
Warranty Inspections
Ideal near the end of a builder's one-year warranty. We document defects while the builder is still responsible, so you can request repairs before coverage expires.
Commercial Inspections
Property-condition assessments for investors, business owners, and commercial buyers throughout the county.
Commercial Building Inspections
Detailed evaluations of office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use buildings. We assess structure, systems, and site conditions so you understand the asset before you close or lease.
Roof & Exterior Inspections
Specialized attention for the parts of a property that take the most weather and cost the most to repair.
Roof Inspections
A close look at roofing materials, flashing, drainage, and penetrations to identify leaks, wear, and remaining service life on tile, shingle, and flat roofs.
4-Point Inspections
Focused on roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, this report is often required by insurers before they will write or renew a policy on an older home.
Bi-Annual Roof Care
Scheduled roof checkups twice a year to catch minor damage early, extend roof life, and avoid costly emergency repairs during San Diego's wet season.
Commercial Roof Cleaning
Professional cleaning and maintenance for commercial roofs, removing debris and buildup that traps moisture and accelerates deterioration of the roof system.
Specialty & California Compliance Inspections
Targeted services for specific systems plus the balcony inspections California law now requires.
Pool & Spa Inspections
An evaluation of pool and spa equipment, surfaces, and safety features so you know what you are inheriting before it becomes an expensive surprise.
Sewer Scoping
A camera inspection of the main sewer line that reveals roots, cracks, and blockages hidden underground, where repairs are most expensive.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared scanning that helps reveal hidden moisture, missing insulation, and electrical hot spots not visible to the naked eye.
Concrete Slab Survey
Floor-level measurement and review to identify slab movement, settlement, and foundation concerns before they affect the rest of the structure.

Required for apartment and multifamily buildings with three or more units under California Health & Safety Code section 17973. AB 2579 moved the first deadline to January 1, 2026, with re-inspection every six years. See our SB-721 vs SB-326 guide.
