Infrared Property Inspections Kyle Ligon

State of the Art Tools

Here are some of the state-of-the-art tools we at IPI use to provide you with the most thorough inspection in Austin.

Our IR camera is the Fluke InSight XST. It detects temperature differences down to 0.07 degrees. We use it free of charge in our Thorough Visual Home Inspection, but if you want a Complete House IR Scan (recommended), there is an additional charge. See the Fee Schedule.
Infrared thermometer with laser for long distance and out of reach temperature measurement
Carbon Monoxide Detector to find this sometimes-deadly, odorless gas, for your safety
Combustible gas detector (propane, natural gas), again, for your safety
Suretest Circuit Analyzer #61-165 that tests for faulty wiring, GFCI outlets, AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupters), and much more. We use it free of charge in our Thorough Visual Home Inspection, but if you want a Complete Electrical Analysis (recommended), there is an additional charge. See the Fee Schedule.
Microwave oven leak detector
Test spray for smoke alarms that actually tests the alarm with simulated smoke
Water pressure gauge so you know what to expect from your water supply
Pinless, non-destructive moisture meter that penetrates up to 1.25”, even through ceramic. This is the state-of-the-art in moisture detection. It uses radio waves to find moisture. No holes left to fill after testing.
Digital Binoculars Camera for long distance pictures, such as across the attic and second story issues
Interspect Voice recognition technology for reporting. Nothing to carry except our tools. A wireless headset allows us to walk through the house and "write" as we talk. This eliminates redundant report writing while decreasing the inspection time, and freeing our hands to work with our tools.When we get finished walking the property the report is 80 - 90 % done. All we have to do is proof read and add pictures.
And, of course, all the usual equipment required for a truly thorough inspection

Note: Not all of these tools are truly "high tech", but all are above and beyond the Standards of Practice set forth by the Texas Real Estate Commission, (TREC).

We welcome any and all ideas concerning tools and, or, services we use and perform.
