The kind of things we help catch.
Examples based on past reports. Each finding includes the photo, location, and the reference it was checked against.
Foundation anchor bolts show sulfur corrosion from Kona vog exposure without protective coating or stainless upgrade
Outdoor panel enclosure rated NEMA 3R instead of NEMA 4X required for Kailua-Kona volcanic gas and salt environment
Rainwater catchment system overflow not piped to approved discharge point per Hawaii County plumbing requirements
Condenser coil fins already corroding from vog sulfur dioxide exposure, no protective fin coating applied at installation
Lava rock veneer attachment lacks corrosion-resistant ties, wire corroding in salt and volcanic gas atmosphere
Standing seam roof panel clips not stainless steel, showing galvanic corrosion at dissimilar metal contact points
And only if we identify something that wasn't already on your list.
If everything identified was already on your list, you pay nothing. You keep the report either way.
GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
What makes Kailua-Kona inspections different from other Hawaii areas?
Kailua-Kona faces vog from volcanic emissions, lava zone restrictions, and intense UV on the dry leeward coast. Our report checks corrosion protection and material ratings specific to these Big Island conditions.
Does the Kailua-Kona report address lava zone requirements?
Yes. Properties in Hawaii County lava zones have restrictions on occupancy and construction type. We verify your project documentation reflects the correct lava zone classification and associated building requirements.
How much does the report cost?
The Inspection Readiness Report is $250, one time. Send your photos and tracking list and receive written findings within 24 hours depending on availability. No ongoing fees.
Do you check rainwater catchment systems?
Yes. Many Kailua-Kona properties rely on rainwater catchment. We review tank connections, overflow routing, and filtration rough-in against Hawaii County plumbing requirements for catchment systems.
Can this help with my solar installation inspection?
Absolutely. We review solar panel mounting, electrical connections, and corrosion-resistant hardware requirements. Kailua-Kona's intense sun and corrosive atmosphere demand specific material specifications for solar installations.
