## What makes The Smart Inspector different

- Complimentary thermal (infrared) imaging is included with every inspection to reveal hidden
  moisture intrusion, electrical hot spots, and insulation gaps that a visual-only inspection
  would miss.
- Same-day inspection reports, reviewed with the client in person at the property (or by phone
  if the client cannot attend).
- Named, licensed inspectors — not a rotating anonymous crew — who are known for being
  meticulous and for explaining findings in plain, understandable language.
- Full-service scope: buyer's inspections, seller's/pre-listing inspections, new-construction
  and phase inspections, 11-month builder-warranty inspections, and single-component
  inspections (for example, roof- or foundation-only).
- Add-on specialty services including sewer scope camera inspections, pool and spa
  inspections, irrigation/sprinkler inspections, and more.

## Inspection process

1. Schedule online at the booking page, or call 817-842-0330 for same-week availability.
2. The assigned licensed inspector performs a thorough evaluation of the home's structure and
   systems following the TREC Standards of Practice, using thermal imaging throughout.
3. A detailed, photo-rich report is delivered the same day.
4. The inspector reviews the report with the client in person at the property (or by phone),
   answering questions so the client fully understands the home's condition before making a
   buying, selling, or repair decision.
