Find problems that are invisible to a conventional home inspection.
Thermal imaging, also called an infrared home inspection, uses a special infrared camera to detect differences in temperature across a surface. Thermal imaging is incredibly effective because it allows us to see problems that are difficult or impossible to see with the naked eye. Problems that would go unnoticed in a normal home inspection. Using the equipment and interpreting the data requires a properly trained and certified inspector.
We can find problems before you can see them, when they're significantly less expensive to fix. By the time you can see the problem yourself, the damage would be much more extensive. Thermal imaging is especially useful for discovering the following problems:
You don't have to be buying or selling a home to benefit from infrared technology. Whether you're checking for moisture problems, looking to make your home more comfortable and efficient, or checking the electrical system for safety — Steadfast Home Inspection INW has you covered!

An inefficient home means a constant drain on your wallet. Energy loss can occur due to poor or missing insulation, poor construction, or even flaws in the home's design. We'll check for indications of energy loss through walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, the attic, and more. We also check for damaged or malfunctioning radiant heating, if present. We'll make sure your home isn't needlessly burning through cash.
Thermal imaging is one of the most effective methods for detecting moisture problems. We can often find thermal evidence of moisture penetration from the roof or basement, as well as plumbing leaks, before they've caused enough damage to be visible to the naked eye. Since thermal imaging does not detect moisture directly, we use a moisture meter for verification.
Naturally, thermal imaging is very effective for finding hot spots inside a home. These can range from electrical issues to insulation problems or dangerously hot pipes (which pose a burn risk to children). Electrical problems are of particular concern, as they indicate a wiring problem of an overloaded component, which poses a major fire risk.

(208) 315-2782We worked with Adrian to get an inspection on our new construction build. He was such a pleasure to work with, easy to talk to, and reviewed in detail the final inspection report. He had us meet him at our home when he was done with inspection and walked us though the house and showed us the things he found that were a concern. He even got a compliment from the building manager on how detailed Adrian was. I highly recommend Steadfast Home Inspection.
I had the chance to sit down with Adrian from Steadfast Home Inspection over coffee, and I was truly impressed by his depth of knowledge and professionalism.

Adrian is someone I’d confidently recommend to anyone looking for a reliable home inspector!

A big shoutout to Adrian for a job well done. I've never seen such attention to detail.

Adrian was the inspector that came to look at a house we were interested in. He had excellent communication, and very accommodating, especially with our short time span to get an inspection. Good customer service and walked us throughout the home informing us of the ups and downs with details about all the nooks and crannys, small to severe issues. He was very thorough and provided alot of images and proof so we could get a better understanding. Price was cheap compared to others, we searched for, and customer service was great. Id highly recommend and use again in future!
Adrian balances being approachable and professional perfectly! The work he does is thorough and you can clearly see this is his passion. There was no need for me to worry about not understanding everything because he happily and patiently ensures you know what went down. Adrian is transparent and great on communication going truly above what was initially asked. I asked for a few of his great tips on an email and he demonstrates that his word is true in this one of many examples. Thank you Adrian!
I recently had Adrian perform a home inspection on a new build and working with him was great. I was not able to make it to the inspection, but the report was so thorough that there was no need. He attached photos/videos of every detail imaginable and found some defects that I will now be able to have remedied prior to closing. Communication was great from start to finish and I would highly recommend Steadfast Home Inspection.
We used Adrian at Steadfast Home Inspections for our new build. Found him through our agents podcast, Residing in North Idaho. Adrian is extremely friendly and detail oriented. As first time homebuyers we wanted to do this right! Adrian’s report was extremely detailed and gave us the confidence to move forward in the buying process. It was honestly fun to read too. Adrian went above and beyond to answer all our questions. We will be using him again for all our home inspection needs!

Adrian was prompt, communicative, reliable, friendly, and professional. Steadfast is the perfect name for his home inspection business! As first time home buyers, his thorough report, as well as the helpful expectations meeting and debrief, gave us tremendous peace of mind. He was also super responsive to questions and "translated" the inspection lingo for us, making it all easy to understand and seamless. He went above and beyond in the process, and we can't recommend him highly enough!
I can’t recommend Adrian enough! One of the unique calling cards of his inspection business is thermal imaging, and for homes here in the snowy and rainy North in winter it is critical to know how well your home holds heat and where it is escaping or cool care is invading. Also knowing areas to repair for leaks and moisture is a lifesaver for new and current home owners. Amazing thoroughness, time spent, and explanations. So glad we utilized Adrian - going to be helpful for fixes and keeping our house warm and dry. Thanks!
We really enjoyed working with Adrian through our home inspection. He was quick to respond to my messages and was very thorough in his final reports. During the walkthrough it was obvious he was very knowledgeable on the subjects we went over but his explanations of things were kept at my knowledge level, I learned a lot of new things, and I felt comfortable asking questions. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a home inspector.
Adrian has done a FANTASTIC job for us! He has been prompt, timely, thorough and informative. An inspection is always a bit of a stressor in any home buying journey, and Adrian realizes that, and takes care to ensure any and all questions are answered.

If you are looking for a home inspector, you'll be hard pressed to find one better!

I’ve bought and sold a few houses prior but never had an inspector as thorough and communicative as Adrian. He chatted with us before the inspection as well as after once we had the report in our hands to answer any questions and walk us through his findings and conclusions. He’s an absolute pleasure to work with- hire this guy.
