Wade Hancock will perform an independent, comprehensive inspection and will take the time to explain his findings to you so that there are no surprises after you move in.

DONE OR DONE RIGHT? CALL HANCOCK TO FIND OUT!

New construction real estate inspections - Hancock Consulting & Inspections

Most folks believe they will have fewer problem items in a newly constructed home; this mindset could be a costly mistake. While time will help to expose maintenance issues, the quality of construction, or lack of quality, is with your home from the very beginning. Interesting fact: Up to 90% of the settling of a foundation usually occurs within the first two years of construction. Hancock is 100% Independent which means neither your real estate agent, general contractor or any subcontractors’ interests are not of

any concern to Hancock. Our allegiance is to you and you alone. Let Hancock help to provide peace of mind and help ensure you are getting the home of your dreams.

Thermal Imaging

We help find hidden problems that can save our clients’ money and time with Thermal Imaging Services!

Home warranty real estate inspections - Hancock Consulting & Inspections

Our infrared imaging camera measures and photographs the non-visible infrared radiation that is emitted by all objects. With this, we can visualize and document minute gradients in the surface temperatures of materials, such as walls and ceilings. This technology helps detect moisture issues (even before they become visible),

insulation and air infiltration deficiencies and electrical component malfunctions. Hancock Inspections is trained and qualified to perform thermal scans in conjunction with your commercial or home inspection or as a stand-alone service. Infrared inspections are a non-destructive, non-contact and cost-effective way to detect and document defects. Whether it is a time-sensitive emergency, preventative measure, or general inspection, our Thermal Imaging service will help you stay on track and avoid those hidden problems.

Functional performance of all the equipment, panels and alarms as well as a visual inspection of the tank and lines ensures you receive all the information needed to make a good decision.

We have seen five (5) year old systems fail and fifty (50) year old systems pass. The only way to know for sure what you are buying is to have your system inspected properly.

NOTE: In order to properly inspect a septic system it MUST be pumped out. This can be facilitated by us as well, or in some cases, the seller may provide this portion of the service. We will coordinate it all for you.
