Tiger Home Inspection Service Packages
Understanding and being comfortable with the largest investment of your lifetime makes good sense. Having a home inspection will provide you with invaluable information on the property conditions and an understanding how to maintain your home. A Home Inspection is defined by State Regulations as, “a visual examination of the accessible structure and systems of the building to identify significant deficiencies and components that are at or near end of service life”. At Tiger, our inspections exceed the minimum standard to include maintenance and upgrade suggestions, and much more. We encourage our clients to be present for their inspection to discuss findings and benefit from the educational experience.
At Tiger, we offer two levels of inspection services to meet all our clients’ needs. The chart below and details on the backside review the additional offerings of the Enhanced Inspection. Both The Essential and Enhanced Home Inspection Packages include the following:

NEW Tiger Enhanced Home Inspection
You asked and we answered! Clients often asked why infrared camera use was only part of our Mold Assessment Service. And, in our years of experience, we found clients were very concerned about rodents too. We’ve created an “Enhanced” Service Package with these and other valuable features to better inform clients about their purchase and maintain their homes.
Enhanced Service includes all Tiger Essential Inspection Services, Plus:
Moisture Detection Inspection utilizing Infrared (IR) Imaging and Moisture Meter
Tiger has developed a specific inspection procedure to identify interior moisture concerns. After visually inspecting all accessible areas for moisture concerns, we will scan surfaces with an IR camera including basement, attic, garage, and interior surfaces. Any accessible IR temperature anomalies are investigated with a moisture meter. The IR images and matching standard photo are included in our reporting.
Inspection for Household Rodents
Over 30% of homes have a household rodent infestation; an increase in activity is apparent over the past two years in response to biological and food source changes. Our inspectors seek to determine evidence of rodents to include both mice and rats by inspecting for tell-tale signs such as tracks, burrowing, feces and much more. By identifying prior extermination efforts our inspectors can guide our clients to next steps. We help with home maintenance by including identification of conditions conducive to rodent infestation and provide rodent exclusion advice.
Shut-off and other System Labels
To be prepared for an emergency or seasonal maintenance, the shut-off valves in a home should be properly labeled. Our Enhanced Service provides printed stickers for nine of your most important valves and shut-offs for ease of locating. We give guidance for sticker installation or can install them at your future Home Maintenance Inspection.
