The Iron Clad Difference
We Don't Just Inspect Homes.
We help you buy with confidence.
Most home inspectors find issues, then refer you to four other contractors to test what's behind them. Iron Clad handles every test in one visit, by one local team that knows what to look for.
-
One Team. Every Test.
Home, mold, radon, well water, sewer scope, thermal imaging, lead, asbestos, all tested in a single visit, by the same team. No coordinating four contractors. No waiting on four reports. No watching your contingency clock run out while inspectors play phone tag.
-
Technology That Goes Deeper
Thermal cameras, drone roof inspections, moisture meters, sewer scope cameras, gas leak detectors, Iron Clad uses specialized technology to identify issues that aren't visible during a standard visual inspection. What you can't see can cost you the most.
-
Real Experience. Real Standards.
Three InterNACHI-certified inspectors with hands-on construction experience, professional liability insurance, and a commitment to ongoing education. Not minimum standards, real-world field expertise applied to every property we inspect.
One team. One visit. Every answer.
The Difference
Two Ways to Get a Home Inspected.
Most inspections look the same on the surface. The difference is what each one can actually see.
The Typical Experience
Other Inspectors
- Call a home inspector, wait for callback
- Visual-only walkthrough with a flashlight and clipboard, so hidden issues stay hidden
- Inspector finds something suspicious, refers you to a specialist
- Refers you to a radon contractor, schedule, wait, pay separately
- Refers you to a sewer scope specialist, schedule, wait, pay again
- Compile four separate reports yourself
- Contingency window runs out before you have full information
The Iron Clad Way
One Team, Every Test
- Call Iron Clad, speak with a real person, usually same-day scheduling
- Thermal imaging, drones, moisture meters, and gas detection find what a visual walkthrough can't
- Same team runs mold, radon, well water, sewer scope on the same visit
- One detailed photo-documented report in your inbox within 24 hours
- Free re-inspection included if anything needs follow-up
- You decide with full information, well within your contingency window
- One company. One invoice. One timeline. Done.
Most of our clients book their inspection within 24 hours of calling.

Tools & Technology
We find what a standard
visual inspection misses.
A visual inspection can only catch what the eye can see. Iron Clad brings specialized technology to every inspection to uncover what it can't.
-
Thermal Imaging
Hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and failing insulation never show on a walkthrough. Infrared imaging puts them on your report before they become your problem.
-
Drone Roof Inspections
Steep, multi-story, and unwalkable roofs are exactly where damage hides. Aerial imaging documents every slope and flashing instead of guessing from the ground.
-
Moisture Meters
Moisture behind walls and under floors becomes rot and mold long before you'd see it. We pinpoint it while it's still a negotiation, not a repair bill.
-
Sewer Scope Cameras
A failed sewer line is one of the most expensive surprises a buyer can inherit. Video inspection of the full line finds cracks, roots, and bellies before closing.
-
Water Quality Testing
On well and rural properties, unsafe water is invisible. Lab-grade testing for bacteria, nitrates, and chemicals, plus well flow and productivity, before you commit.
-
Electrical Testing
Wiring hazards and grounding faults are fire risks hiding behind cover plates. Circuit and outlet testing flags them, along with the code violations that come with them.
-
Gas Leak Detection
Small gas leaks at appliances, connections, and supply lines can go unnoticed for years. Specialized sensors find what a visual check never could.
-
Radon Monitoring
Radon is odorless, invisible, and elevated across Idaho's radon zones. EPA-compliant 48-hour continuous monitoring gives you the actual number before you move in.
-
Advanced Reporting
Findings only protect you if they arrive in time to act. Photo-documented reports with prioritized findings hit your inbox within 24 hours, inside your contingency window.
Anyone can call themselves a home inspector in Idaho. Experience, technology, and professionalism matter.
Idaho Licensing, Explained
Idaho doesn't currently require home inspectors to be licensed, regulated, or certified by the state.
That means anyone can call themselves a home inspector in Idaho, regardless of training, experience, or insurance. The quality of your inspection depends entirely on who you hire, which is worth understanding before you book anyone, including us. Across the state line it's a different story: Oregon requires home inspectors to be licensed, and Iron Clad holds that license. Every inspection we do, on either side of the border, is held to the licensed standard, backed by experience, advanced technology, professional insurance, thorough reporting, and ongoing education.
Every Iron Clad inspector holds InterNACHI certification, carries professional liability (E&O) and general liability insurance, and commits to ongoing continuing education, not just classroom hours, but real-world field experience. And the part you can check for yourself: our reviews are public, our reports stand behind every finding, and re-inspection is free if anything needs a second look.
