II. What Sets Aaron’s Inspections Apart

Personalized, Respectful Service

Unlike volume-based inspection providers, Aaron’s Inspections treats each property as unique. Their inspectors listen carefully, answer questions transparently, and respect your space—making the process feel less like a transaction and more like a consultation.

Their ability to detect issues before they become costly problems makes them a valuable asset during real estate transitions.

III. Key Services and Their Benefits

Aaron’s Inspections specializes in three major types of inspections—existing homes, new construction, and EIFS moisture detection—each with its own value proposition:

Existing Home Inspections

This is the most commonly requested service, ideal for buyers preparing to purchase a lived-in home. Inspectors assess:

  • Structural integrity (foundation, roof, walls)
  • Electrical systems
  • Plumbing networks
  • Heating and cooling efficiency
  • Safety hazards

Benefits: Avoid unexpected repair costs, gain negotiation power, and understand what’s behind walls before you buy.

New Home Inspections

While new homes may appear perfect, latent issues often surface. This inspection checks:

  • Construction quality
  • Code compliance
  • Unfinished work or hidden defects

Benefits: Catch builder errors before closing, ensure warranty coverage, and validate quality assurance.

EIFS Moisture Inspections

Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS)—often called synthetic stucco—are known for moisture trapping if improperly installed. Aaron’s EIFS inspections use moisture meters and infrared tools to:

  • Detect hidden water intrusion
  • Assess mold risk
  • Evaluate damage behind the façade

Benefits: Prevent structural decay, improve home health, and plan for moisture remediation early.

IV. Why Moisture Matters: EIFS Specialization

The Hidden Threat of Moisture Intrusion

Moisture is a silent destroyer. In homes with EIFS, improper sealing or drainage can cause water to become trapped inside wall cavities. Over time, this leads to:

  • Mold growth
  • Wood rot
  • Structural weakening
  • Health hazards

Unlike other types of inspections, EIFS assessments require specialized tools and skills. Aaron’s Inspections has carved a niche in this service, combining thermal imaging and invasive moisture probing for highly accurate results.

Moisture Detection Technology

Tools used include:

  • Tramex moisture meters
  • FLIR infrared cameras
  • Penetrating probes for EIFS and stucco systems

This high-tech approach minimizes the need for destructive wall openings, saving homeowners time and money while still revealing critical data.
