Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging helps the inspector to uncover problems that aren’t always visible to the human eye. The thermal camera employs a process that translates the heat signature in your home on a gradient scale, ranging from bright red to dark blue. Higher temperatures will translate as red, while darker colors are triggered by lower temperatures in wet areas.
In analyzing these images, the inspector can detect sources of energy loss, pinpoint dangerous electrical hot spots, flue leaks in the chimney that can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, locate wood-destroying insects and detect moisture intrusion (which can be a catalyst for mold). In short, thermal imaging can be an important preventative measure in protecting your home from potential hazards.

Mold Testing
Mold Testing
Mold is organic growth in the building, moisture is the main cause of mold presence in a building. Therefore, at NextDay Inspect we provide both services; moisture evaluation and mold detection:
- Moisture Evaluations This constitutes a visual site evaluation of the areas you suspect of mold or moisture. Using a moisture meter and infrared camera, the inspector can help identify active leaks or areas with the potential for water intrusion. We will provide recommendations on how to correct these high-risk areas and help you decide if mold sampling would be beneficial at this time.
- Mold Sampling There are two classes of molding sampling;
(a) Swap & Bio-Tape
(b) Air Sampling
Air samples can be taken in each of your areas of concern. Laboratory analysis will indicate the types and amount of mold spores in the air if any. Swab samples can also be taken of visible growth on surfaces. The lab results will confirm whether or not the growth is mold, and provide details on the specific type and amount.

Asbestos Testing
Asbestos Testing
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring silicates. They have properties that make them useful for insulation or binding materials in buildings. When asbestos becomes damaged or disturbed, the asbestos fibers become airborne and can be inhaled. When inhaled, they enter the respiratory tracts and damage the lungs by leaving scars in the lung tissues. We provide asbestos testing to determine whether a material in your home contains asbestos.

What People Say About Us
Client Testimonials
I requested a radon inspection for my new home and NextDay inspect came out in truth, the next day! Also picked up their equipment at a time that was good for us as well. We had our report within two hours of their pick up and that helped with our radon remediation!
Lisa MontanaroGoogle
We had a big deadline with a fast turn around and NextDay Inspect was more than willing to accommodate our requests! Our inspector was friendly, timely and respectful. We had a great experience!
Rachel L.HomeAdvisor
NextDay Inspect is just like the name says. No matter your timeline, these guys can make it happen. I was on a short schedule from ratification to close and NextDay was able to schedule my inspection right when I needed it. Keith and his assistant were on time, and were very knowledgeable. They encouraged my questions and were not afraid to share their knowledge. The very thorough inspection report was emailed to me the next day. 10/10 definitely recommend.
Scott K.Yelp
Gerald arrived to the property before I did (and I was there 10 minutes before the appointment) and was already inspecting the outside of the home. Gerald was very thorough in his inspection and answered all the questions I had. The report I received was very thorough and detailed with pictures and breakdowns of each room and the components of that room. I would recommend NextDay Inspect and Gerald to anyone who needs a home inspection!
Mike ToomerGoogle We used NextDay Inspect for home inspection, radon test and termite inspection. Scheduling was so easy - I did it through the online chat at their website. Prices are reasonable and in line with other inspection services. Customer service is excellent. Inspection report is thorough and inspector was professional and answered all my questions. Would definitely use them again.
Trish H.HomeAdvisor The inspector was very knowledgeable, it was extremely easy to sign up. If you have questions on the report afterwards you can call and they will answer any questions you have. I was hesitate to hire a large company like this due to large companies seem to loose quality, this was not the case.
Chess WhiteGoogle I was lucky to have Nextday Inspect's Mr. Azmi to inspect my new home. Mr. Azmi was extremely detail oriented and thorough. He identified many items that needed corrections or repairs by the Builder before my "Walkthrough". This helps me tremendously as a new home buyer who has little knowledge about new homes or how to identify defects or problems before signing off any "Walkthrough" documents. Nextday Inspect has a great responsive team. They all work very well together. It is one of the best home inspection companies that I have encountered. I highly recommend NextDay Inspect !
C.C. LeeYelp We found NextDay on Yelp, and were able to quickly make an appointment over e-mail. The process was simple and painless. On the day of the inspection, we were met by Keith and another inspector, both of which took time to introduce themselves and explain the process. The inspection took about 3 hours and was very thorough. Even our realtor was impressed in how meticulous they were. The report itself was 56 pages long and helped abate any worries we had about the property. We additionally requested a radon and a WDO inspection, both of which were just as positive of an experience. The pricing was definitely fair for all three inspections.
