Specialized Tools

To provide the most thorough inspection possible.

Home Inspection Authority Southern California Residential & Commerical Inspections - Drone

Drone Roof Inspections

When a roof material is too fragile or dangerous to walk on or the roof is not safely accessible, We use a aerial drone with HD camera and video to perform roof inspections. This technology allows us a birds eye view to detect any broken or missing roof materials and or flashings.

Home Inspection Authority Southern California Residential & Commerical Inspections - Crawl Bot

Crawlspace CrawlBot

When a crawlspace is dangerous or too cramped, The Crawlbot allows us to visually inspect a hard to see area under the home. This specialized tool can take high definition photos and video to help us inspect areas that are otherwise hard to reach or are inaccessible.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal Imaging cameras translate thermal energy (heat) to visible light so we can find and analyze some otherwise non-visible deficiencies.

Why Choose Home Inspection Authority?

Hello my name is John Laforme, I am the owner & lead inspector of Home Inspection Authority. My priority is to you my client, and my goal is to provide a thorough, non-bias visual general home inspection of the 5 major systems of the home and the  general condition at the time of the inspection. My monthly continuing education as a CREIA certified inspector keeps me on top of changes in the home inspection industry which allows me to pass on that information to you and your family to help you make an informed decision on your real estate transaction. After the visual home inspection is completed I will go over my findings with you and advise you if any safety hazards are present and or if any system defects are observed during the general home inspection that require further evaluation by a qualified licensed specialist before the end of your inspection contingency period.

John is incredible. He thoroughly inspected our home top to bottom, and is an expert in just about everything. The best part about going with John is how detailed the report is; he provided a breakdown of everything he found in a way that made it easy for us to understand and even provided links for further explanation, instructions, or recommendations of things to buy. He makes you feel informed, safe, and empowered. I wish I could have him inspect our home every year to keep track of how it's doing! You are in the best hands with John.

Just had John complete an inspection of our new home and it could not have been more of a professional experience. He was easy to communicate with, arrived ahead of schedule, did a thorough job, explained things clearly and provided a well documented report. Highly recommended.
