We Use Specialist Equipment: Drones and Thermal Imaging
Using small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS or drones) and thermal imaging technology, we uncover any previously undetected concerns—from checking the roof, solar panels, and exterior cladding to reviewing electrical and mechanical systems and detecting leaks.

Drone photogrammetry can achieve high accuracy in report writing and estimating. Discover the how drones and survey-grade data acquisition software that allows you to geotag the locations of deficiencies and obtain annotated measurements and information for accurate estimating, enabling you to provide customers with precise cost tables for reserve funds. Drone mapping is a method that involves creating detailed 2D and 3D maps using images and data captured by drones.

Infrared Thermographic Surveys
Using drones to perform thermal imaging scans and moisture mapping, we gain invaluable insights. Infrared thermography pinpoints accumulated moisture and otherwise hidden damp areas so you can undertake surgical roof repairs instead of replacing an entire roof. As a result, you might only need to repair the roof slowly, which can save you money.

Solar Panel Inspections
Drones can find hidden problems on your solar panels, while infrared scans detect damage invisible to the naked eye. Solar panels degrade over time, so these inspections are vital to keep the power flowing seamlessly.
Solar panel field inspections can require the use of daylight and infrared cameras. The ideal option for a solar panel field inspection is a drone with a thermal camera since, in most circumstances, it is less expensive than manned aircraft and takes less time than visual control using a portable IR camera.

EIFS and Stucco Inspections
Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) are often made to prevent water from penetrating the outside surface but not from behind. Moisture buildup can cause issues; the sheathing might degrade over time, luring termites, and mold can grow in damp areas. Using infrared inspections to identify damp lowers the likelihood of damage.

Infrared Electrical Surveys
An infrared electrical scan will detect temperature anomalies invisible to the naked eye, picking up problems that can be missed through a purely visual inspection. They are fast, non-invasive, non-destructive, and non-contact, checking breakers, connections, wiring, switches, and motor control centers.
Thermal imaging electrical inspections reduce unforeseen downtimes, prevent equipment damage, lower insurance costs, and mitigate the risks of mechanical and electrical fires. They also enhance the safety and efficiency of the workforce.

The Property Condition Assessment (PCA)
A baseline commercial property inspection is called a Property Condition Assessment (PCA). It includes a walk-through survey, recorded analysis, and interviews conducted by a trained Home & Commercial Inspections LLC inspector to evaluate your property’s condition.
The goal is to identify and communicate physical deficiencies, including deferred maintenance. Pre-listing inspections help investors and agents estimate potential maintenance costs. Pre-lease and post-lease checks provide owners and tenants with an accurate view of a commercial property’s state—before they sign the paperwork.
Various factors affect the extent of the inspection. We consider the age, occupancy, and construction style when assessing how the property will be evaluated and what is required to conduct a quality inspection.
The PCA could be a simple visual review or a thorough analysis of the building’s mechanical systems. Inspections may involve experts, contractors, or a team solution, depending on your property and needs.

The Property Condition Report (PCR)
The Property Condition Report (PCR) is generated after the survey. It is an essential component for owners and buyers to understand the necessary service and repair criteria, and it builds trust with prospective investors. A single report is created for multiple buildings.
Our thorough report includes photos of all the building’s systems and outlines our findings, notes any faults, and highlights areas of concern (e.g., deferred maintenance) that must be addressed to avoid costly repairs. This enables owners and investors to budget accordingly.

10 Reasons to Get a Commercial Inspection in Dayton, Ohio
Safeguard Your Investment in Dayton’s Diverse Commercial Market
Dayton, Ohio is experiencing steady economic growth, with revitalization in areas like downtown, Oregon District, and the I-75 corridor. Whether you’re purchasing an industrial warehouse in Moraine, a retail space in Centerville, or a multi-unit office building in Kettering, a commercial inspection helps you understand exactly what you’re buying. Our inspections uncover hidden structural flaws, deferred maintenance, and system failures that can impact your ROI or lead to major financial losses.
Get a Full Picture of the Building’s Condition—Not Just a Surface Look
Many commercial buildings in Dayton are decades old and may have been remodeled multiple times. Our inspectors assess every major system—roofing, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, insulation, and drainage. We go beyond visual walkthroughs and identify issues that could affect safety, performance, and value. You’ll receive a clear, detailed report outlining findings, concerns, and recommendations so you can make informed decisions.
Ensure Compliance with Dayton’s Commercial Building Codes
Dayton enforces zoning codes, ADA accessibility standards, fire codes, environmental requirements, and permit-based building regulations. An inspection helps you catch outdated components or improper modifications that could delay occupancy, affect insurance eligibility, or trigger code violations. We ensure your property aligns with local ordinances before closing, construction, or lease negotiations.
Prevent Costly Repairs by Catching Problems Early
Ohio weather—including freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and heavy rain—can cause unseen damage over time. Our inspections detect early signs of roof deterioration, foundation cracks, water intrusion, mold, rot, and corrosion. Addressing these issues proactively saves thousands in emergency repairs, helps extend the life of your building systems, and keeps tenants satisfied.
Improve Safety and Limit Legal Liability
Neglecting commercial property safety standards can result in serious legal consequences. We identify life-safety concerns such as faulty fire suppression systems, blocked egress routes, tripping hazards, outdated wiring, carbon monoxide leaks, and elevator failures. Ensuring your property meets safety requirements not only protects lives but shields you from costly litigation and reputational damage.
Boost Energy Efficiency and Lower Operating Expenses
Dayton-area commercial buildings—especially older ones—often suffer from poor insulation, outdated lighting, leaky windows, or inefficient HVAC units. Our inspections highlight inefficiencies and provide practical recommendations to improve energy use. Better efficiency leads to reduced utility bills, increased tenant comfort, and eligibility for energy tax incentives or green building certifications.
Gain Negotiation Power in Dayton’s Competitive Market
Whether you’re negotiating a purchase agreement, lease renewal, or tenant improvement allowance, an inspection gives you a data-backed advantage. Our findings can justify lower purchase prices, repair contingencies, or capital reserve allocations. This ensures you’re not overpaying for a property that needs substantial repairs and helps you negotiate from a position of strength.
Streamline Financing, Insurance, and Due Diligence Requirements
Lenders, insurers, and investors demand clarity on property condition before finalizing deals. A thorough inspection from Home and Commercial Inspections provides the documentation needed to satisfy underwriters, reduce lender risk, and speed up closings. We help you meet due diligence deadlines with professional reports that are clear, comprehensive, and trusted.
Create a Long-Term Maintenance and Capital Improvement Plan
Even if you’re not buying or selling, a routine inspection offers huge value to owners and managers of commercial properties in Dayton. Our assessments provide insight into which systems need attention now—and what can be planned for later. This allows for better budgeting, fewer disruptions, and strategic reinvestment in the building’s performance and tenant satisfaction.
