Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. We identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and code violations using specialized equipment. Clients receive digital reports with photographic documentation and repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Mold Assessment
Certified mold assessments identify moisture intrusion sources and contamination levels. We follow EPA guidelines for sampling and provide clearance inspections after remediation. Reports include photographic evidence and abatement recommendations from licensed assessors.
Sewer Scoping
Using high-resolution cameras, we inspect underground sewer lines for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. This non-invasive diagnostic helps prevent costly repairs by identifying issues in clay, cast iron, or PVC piping systems during property transactions.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using continuous monitoring devices. Results are available immediately with mitigation recommendations if levels exceed safety thresholds. Testing helps protect occupants from this leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
Chimney Inspections
Level 2 chimney inspections use multi-angle cameras to evaluate flue liners, mortar joints, and structural integrity. We identify creosote buildup, water damage, and other hazards that could lead to chimney fires or carbon monoxide leaks.
