About Us
With over 20 years of experience in infrared and ultrasound inspections, RP Predictive helps you identify problems before they cause downtime or damage. Our inspections deliver peace of mind and long-term savings.
Two Decades of Preventing the Unexpected
At RP Predictive, we don’t just inspect equipment—we safeguard productivity, profitability, and peace of mind. For more than 20 years, our team has provided industrial and residential clients across Charleston, SC and beyond with high-precision inspections using infrared thermography and ultrasound detection technologies. Our mission is simple: to help our clients see what others miss—before it becomes costly, dangerous, or disruptive.
In an age where equipment failure can grind operations to a halt and eat into margins, we offer something incredibly valuable: insight. Actionable, trustworthy insight. Whether you run a massive production facility or you’re a homeowner with safety concerns, we give you the power to plan ahead and make informed decisions.
Solving Problems Before They Happen
Many failures don’t happen suddenly—they develop slowly, invisibly. Electrical connections begin to heat up. Bearings lose lubrication. Compressed air systems leak just enough to affect efficiency. By the time you notice something’s wrong, the damage has already been done.
RP Predictive exists to stop that cycle
Using infrared inspections, we can identify hot spots and electrical anomalies long before they pose a threat. Our ultrasound detection services allow us to uncover air or gas leaks that would otherwise go unnoticed—costing you thousands over time. We also perform bearing inspections, overhead buss inspections, and work with clients to establish preventive maintenance programs tailored to their unique systems and equipment.
This isn’t guesswork. It’s data-backed decision-making that puts you in control.
Trusted by Industry. Committed to Detail.
We’ve worked inside steel plants where downtime means six figures in losses per hour. We’ve supported commercial roofers looking to verify dry connections before a storm rolls in. We’ve helped homeowners understand whether that odd electrical smell meant something serious. No matter the scale of the project, we approach each job with the same level of care and respect.
Our team doesn’t just show up—we dig deep, communicate clearly, and stay until every box is checked. We’re not afraid to get into the tight spaces, troubleshoot tough systems, and go the extra mile when others won’t. We’re here to earn trust, not just complete tasks.
Our Clients See the Difference
Unlike larger inspection firms that may send different techs each time or rely heavily on automated reports, RP Predictive provides a personalized, human-first approach. You work with experienced professionals who take the time to explain their findings, answer questions, and help you make the right choices for your facility or home.
Clients choose us because we’re responsive, honest, and extremely thorough. We’ve never relied on flashy advertising or mass marketing—our growth has come from word of mouth, from people who’ve seen the value of what we do and shared it with others.

Frequently Asked Questions
At RP Predictive, we specialize in infrared electrical inspections, ultrasound leak detection, bearing inspections, and overhead bus inspections. We also offer preventive maintenance programs to ensure your systems remain in optimal condition.
Infrared inspection involves using thermal cameras to detect heat variations in electrical systems, motors, and machinery. By identifying heat anomalies early on, we can pinpoint potential issues before they become serious problems, helping you avoid costly downtime and repairs.
Ultrasound leak detection allows us to find compressed air, gas, and steam leaks that may be undetectable by the naked eye. By locating these leaks early, we can help your business save on energy costs and improve overall system efficiency.
We recommend scheduling regular inspections based on the type of equipment or facility you have. For most industrial systems, a quarterly or semi-annual inspection can help prevent costly issues. For residential inspections, an annual check is often sufficient, especially if you are concerned about specific areas like electrical systems or heating.
RP Predictive provides inspections for a wide range of industries, including steel manufacturing, commercial roofing, auto parts manufacturing, reheat plants, and residential homes. We understand the unique needs of each industry and tailor our inspections to meet the specific requirements of your systems.
