Technology Used by Patterson 360

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Patterson 360 utilizes infrared thermal imaging cameras

to identify hidden conditions that may not be visible to the naked eye, including:

• Moisture intrusion and hidden leaks
• Insulation deficiencies
• HVAC performance issues
• Electrical hot spots
• Air leakage and energy loss

Thermal imaging allows inspectors to detect temperature variations that can indicate underlying problems before they become costly repairs. Patterson's company standards specifically require the use of thermal imaging technology as part of their inspection process.

Sewer Scope Inspections

For properties with accessible sewer systems, Patterson 360 offers sewer camera inspections (sewer scopes) using specialized video equipment that examines underground drain lines.

A sewer scope can help identify:

• Root intrusion
• Cracked or collapsed pipes
• Offset pipe connections
• Blockages and buildup
• Aging sewer infrastructure

This service is especially valuable for older Phoenix-area homes and properties with unknown plumbing histories.

Drone Roof and Exterior Assessments

Patterson 360 uses drone technology

when evaluating:

• Inaccessible roofs
• Steep roof systems
• New construction properties
• Large commercial structures

Drone imaging helps inspectors safely capture detailed aerial photos and videos while reducing the need for potentially hazardous roof access. Company standards specify drone photography for new construction homes and inaccessible rooftops.

Moisture Detection Equipment

Inspectors utilize professional-grade moisture meters to verify suspected water intrusion and moisture-related conditions behind walls, ceilings, and flooring materials. Patterson's standards specifically reference moisture meters as part of its inspection toolset.

Digital Reporting Technology

Every inspection includes a comprehensive electronic report featuring:

• High-resolution photographs
• Detailed observations
• Repair recommendations
• System evaluations
• Mobile-friendly delivery

Reports are generally delivered the same day or within 24 hours when applicable.

Advanced HVAC and Equipment Identification

Patterson 360 uses industry resources and equipment identification methods to document:

• HVAC age and manufacture dates
• System capacity and tonnage
• Refrigerant types
• Water heater capacities
• Electrical specifications
• Appliance and equipment data

This helps buyers and property owners better understand the condition and expected lifespan of major building systems.

Why Technology Matters During a Home Inspection

Advanced inspection technology helps identify issues that a visual inspection alone may miss. By combining thermal imaging, sewer cameras, drones, moisture detection tools, and digital reporting systems, Patterson 360 provides clients with a more complete understanding of a property's condition before purchase, sale, or investment decisions.
