Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential environmental hazards. We provide detailed analysis of roof, foundation, attic, and basement conditions while identifying safety concerns. Our inspectors use specialized tools to assess system functionality and compliance with current standards.
Environmental Testing
We conduct environmental hazard assessments for radon, mold, lead, and asbestos through non-invasive testing methods. Our inspections identify potential contamination sources in air, water, and building materials. We follow EPA guidelines for sample collection and provide clear recommendations for mitigation when hazards are detected.
Pre-Listing Inspection
This service helps homeowners identify potential issues before listing their property. We conduct the same thorough evaluation as standard inspections but focus on market-readiness factors. Our reports help sellers address concerns proactively and provide transparency to potential buyers.
Radon Testing
We use EPA-approved methods to measure radon levels in residential properties. Our testing includes both short-term and long-term assessment options to determine average exposure levels. We provide detailed reports with mitigation recommendations when readings exceed safety thresholds.
Mold Assessment
Our mold inspections identify moisture sources and visible mold growth in residential properties. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect hidden water damage. The assessment includes air quality testing and recommendations for remediation when necessary.
