Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections systematically evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, and appliances. Inspectors provide same-day digital reports with photographic documentation of findings. Clients receive on-site explanations of issues and 24/7 post-inspection support for report clarification.
Wood Destroying Insect Inspection
Licensed inspectors identify termite activity, carpenter ant infestations, and other wood-destroying organisms. The inspection covers active infestations, past damage, and conditions conducive to pest activity. Findings are documented with digital images and included in the comprehensive inspection report.
New Construction Inspection
Specialized evaluations for newly constructed properties identify builder shortcuts and system deficiencies. Our inspectors check compliance with building codes and manufacturer specifications, focusing on HVAC performance, electrical safety, and structural integrity to catch issues before warranty periods expire.
Pool & Spa Inspection
Detailed assessment of swimming pools, spas, and related equipment includes structural integrity checks, safety feature verification, and mechanical system evaluations. Inspectors examine pumps, filters, electrical connections, and water circulation systems to identify maintenance needs and safety hazards.
Structural Evaluation
Comprehensive analysis of foundations, grading, drainage systems, and roof structures identifies structural weaknesses and water intrusion risks. Inspectors evaluate load-bearing walls, attic framing, and exterior components to assess long-term stability and maintenance requirements.
