What makes a Rod Inspects inspection different?
A home inspection tells you what's wrong. We also tell you what it means. That's the idea Rod Stewardson built Rod Inspects on in 2002: you should walk away understanding your home, not just holding a report full of terms you have to look up.
So we explain things in plain English. You're welcome to come to the inspection, follow along and ask anything. Your report uses the Texas Real Estate Commission's standard inspection form, so every item is clearly marked, and we'll tell you which findings matter now and which can wait. After 13,000+ inspections, we know the questions buyers ask, and we'd rather answer them on site than leave you guessing.

What is an infrared home inspection, and why does it matter in San Antonio?
An infrared home inspection uses a thermal imaging camera to show surface temperature differences across walls, ceilings, floors and equipment. Those patterns may indicate problems a visual inspection alone can miss, before they turn into stains, mold or a failed system. The camera does not diagnose mold, moisture or electrical defects on its own.
Rod Inspects brings infrared thermal technology to San Antonio inspections because South Texas homes work hard. Long cooling seasons, attic heat and sudden heavy rain can all leave clues that show up as temperature differences first.
What can a thermal pattern indicate?
- Possible moisture behind drywall, around windows and under plumbing fixtures, from roof leaks, plumbing leaks or condensation
- Missing or uneven insulation in walls and ceilings, which drives up summer cooling bills
- Air leaks and duct issues, where conditioned air escapes into the attic or walls
- Electrical hot spots at panels, breakers and outlets that can signal an overloaded or failing connection
- HVAC performance clues, such as uneven cooling from room to room
What a thermal camera does not do. It doesn't see through walls, and a temperature pattern is a clue, not a diagnosis. When the camera flags something, we check it with the tools and the experience behind 13,000+ inspections, then explain in plain English what we found and what the next step is.
