Thermal imaging on every inspection

Our inspectors carry an infrared camera on every job, a non-invasive way to see the moisture, heat, and hidden trouble a normal walkthrough would miss.

How infrared sees what the eye cannot

Our inspectors use thermography technology, an infrared imaging and measurement camera used to see and measure the thermal energy given off by an object. The infrared camera is a non-invasive way of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of a building.

It gives us immediate high-resolution thermal imagery, revealing potential structural issues, moisture issues, energy efficiency, and even rodent and pest discovery. Thermal imaging is included with our inspections at no extra charge.

Heat and moisture you cannot see

These photos come from our own Houston inspections. Overheating connections and hidden moisture are exactly what a thermal scan helps us catch before they become a fire or a mold problem.

  • Tyler did a great job on the inspection and Michelle was very helpful with scheduling. This is the second home they did for me and they did a fantastic job both times.

  • Mark was awesome, very Photo, he inspected two houses for me. He worked long hours and then sent us an impeccable report. He also walked with us before he left to show us points of interest in those two homes. I will absolutely hire him again!

  • A-Action is certainly one of the pricer home inspection companies but I was very pleased with Bo's detailed historic home inspection. He was on time and throughly explained his findings both walking us through at the end of the day as well as providing a detailed report. When paying for the inspection I was surprised that A-Action was charging an extra 3% credit card fee when only a cc option was provided but happily they've hired an exceptional customer service rep to work the phones nights and evenings who provided their Zelle info so I could avoid the fee. Overall I'm very pleased.

  • Brendan as our inspector and Michelle who helped me on the phone scheduling my appointment were both so friendly and professional. I felt like we were in good hands with them both. We were interested in a 1970s home and I wanted to make sure we chose a home inspector with experience in older homes, so when I saw all the YouTube videos A-Action has on 1970s-home inspections, I knew they were the right company to go with. Brendan would reply to my simple follow up texts after about the inspection and even provided a vendor list for specialists in the area if we wanted to take a closer look at something, which we did and even their vendor list was great! Highly recommend A-Action!
