Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for AlouTech Visual Inspection, the active crawlspace visual documentation service.

What is AlouTech Visual Inspection?+

AlouTech Visual Inspection is the active service offering. A technician brings the Scrutinizer to the site, operates it from outside the crawlspace, and helps capture visual documentation for whoever is responsible for reviewing the property.

What robot is used for the visual inspection?+

The current field platform is the Scrutinizer 3000, operated by AlouTech for crawlspace visual documentation. The Scrutinizer 4000 is the next development target.

Is the $150 Houston service a home inspection?+

No. It is an operator service where an AlouTech technician brings a Scrutinizer to the site and operates the rover for the customer or responsible professional. The technician acts as remote eyes and legs in accessible areas. It is not an engineering, structural, environmental, mold, pest, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, real estate, or code-compliance inspection.

What kind of documentation can be captured?+

When conditions allow, the operator can capture photos and video of visible crawlspace conditions such as access limitations, moisture, plumbing, ductwork, insulation, pest evidence, debris, and areas that may require a closer professional review.

What is the Scrutinizer 4000 target?+

The Scrutinizer 4000 is being developed as a crawlspace robot targeted to cost $999. That is a development goal, not a final sale price or release promise.
