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 Toledo, Ohio
Protect Your Investment in the Expanding Commercial Market
Toledo is home to a diverse commercial real estate landscape, including industrial parks, retail strips, historic downtown buildings, and medical offices. Whether you’re investing in the Warehouse District or the suburbs of Maumee or Sylvania, a commercial inspection is critical. Our inspections reveal hidden issues that could affect the property’s value or lead to costly repairs—allowing you to make smart, secure investment decisions.
Get a Comprehensive Evaluation of All Major Systems
Every commercial building has complex systems that require expert evaluation. Our inspections thoroughly assess HVAC systems, electrical infrastructure, plumbing, foundation, roof conditions, and more. In Toledo, where many properties are 40+ years old, system aging is common—and early detection can save thousands in deferred maintenance costs.
Ensure Compliance with Toledo Building Codes and Local Regulations
Toledo has unique code requirements governed by the city’s building and zoning departments. Failing to meet those codes can delay renovations, occupancy permits, or trigger fines. Our certified inspectors are knowledgeable in Toledo’s commercial regulations and help identify any potential compliance issues before they become liabilities.
Identify Hidden Issues That Could Lead to Expensive Repairs
In Toledo, harsh winters and fluctuating temperatures can accelerate wear on foundations, roofs, and exterior facades. Additionally, many older buildings may contain outdated wiring, plumbing, or water intrusion behind walls. Our inspectors use advanced tools and years of experience to detect problems you can’t see—before they cost you time and money.
Improve Safety for Tenants, Employees, and Visitors
Safety issues like faulty smoke alarms, poor lighting, emergency exit obstructions, or electrical hazards can pose significant risks. A commercial inspection helps you stay compliant with OSHA and fire codes, reduce liability, and create a safe environment for everyone who enters your building—whether it’s a retail store, office suite, or multi-tenant complex.
Reduce Energy Waste and Lower Operating Costs
Outdated systems in Toledo’s older commercial buildings are often inefficient. We assess insulation quality, HVAC performance, window integrity, and more to identify areas of energy loss. Improvements in these systems can result in significant cost savings on monthly utility bills and may qualify your business for local energy-efficiency rebates.
Strengthen Negotiation Power in Real Estate Transactions
Whether you’re buying, leasing, or selling a property in Toledo, the inspection report is your negotiation tool. It arms you with concrete evidence to request repair credits, lower the asking price, or adjust lease agreements based on the condition of the property. This gives you stronger leverage and prevents costly surprises after closing.
Speed Up Financing and Insurance Approvals
Banks and insurers require detailed condition reports before approving financing or policies for commercial properties. We provide clear, timely documentation that meets underwriting standards. A quality inspection from a reputable local firm like ours can help streamline your approval process and avoid underwriting delays.
Plan for Capital Improvements and Prevent Downtime
Unexpected system failures can interrupt operations and drive away tenants. Our inspections help property managers and business owners in Toledo develop capital improvement plans that prioritize critical repairs, extend asset life, and minimize business disruptions. Proactive planning also makes budgeting easier and more predictable.
