Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspection evaluates all visible and accessible property components including roofing systems, foundation integrity, electrical systems, and HVAC performance. The service includes thermal imaging scans and moisture meter testing to detect hidden issues. Clients receive detailed digital reports with photographic documentation within 24-36 hours, supporting informed real estate decisions.
Mold Inspection
This specialized inspection identifies existing mold growth and moisture penetration points that could lead to future mold problems. Using visual assessment and moisture detection equipment, we evaluate indoor air quality concerns. The service includes detailed recommendations for remediation and prevention strategies to protect property value and occupant health.
Radon Testing
Our EPA-certified radon testing uses specialized equipment to measure radioactive gas levels in residential properties. This odorless, invisible hazard assessment follows strict protocol for accurate 48-hour testing periods. Results help determine necessary mitigation measures to reduce lung cancer risks associated with long-term exposure.

This wood-destroying insect inspection identifies termite activity and previous damage patterns in residential structures. Certified inspectors examine accessible foundation components and potential entry points. The service includes risk assessment for future infestation and recommendations for preventive measures.
