Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. Inspectors use infrared cameras and moisture meters to detect hidden issues. Reports include digital photos and detailed recommendations for maintenance or repairs.
Radon Testing
Continuous electronic monitoring provides hour-by-hour radon level analysis. Tests meet Minnesota state requirements and include detailed reports explaining results. Technicians follow strict protocols for accurate measurement of this cancer-causing gas.
Sewer Inspections
Video camera inspections identify blockages, cracks, or root intrusion in main sewer lines. Digital recordings document pipe condition with written analysis of required repairs. Inspections help prevent costly emergency situations from developing undetected.
Mold Testing
Air and surface sampling identifies mold spore concentrations with laboratory analysis. Inspectors use thermal imaging to locate moisture sources. Reports include remediation recommendations and prevention strategies for residential and commercial properties.
Chimney Inspections
Level 2 inspections use specialized cameras to examine flue liners and exterior components. Certified chimney sweeps identify structural issues and fire hazards. Reports meet NFPA 211 compliance standards for property transfers.
