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.

See What Our Clients Say!

I had the pleasure of collaborating with John during a recent real estate purchase transaction in Northridge, CA. John's meticulous site inspection and thorough understanding of the property was instrumental in ensuring seamless and transparent real estate acquisition. His comprehensive report was easy to comprehend and quickly delivered within 24 hours of inspection, significantly expediting our review process. Thus, allowing me to meet the deadlines as stipulated in the purchase contract; as a broker/buyer's agent and lender, this is critical. I operate under strict purchase and loan contingency deadlines. John's firsthand knowledge and acute attention to detail empowered my buyers to make confident, well-informed decision. His professional conduct and readiness to address any concerns significantly eased the home-buying process for my client, making it more reassuring for all parties involved. As a mortgage broker and real estate agent, I highly recommend John to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable property inspector. Carlos Campos, MBA.
