Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, mechanical systems, and potential safety hazards. We evaluate foundations, roofs, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and interior/exterior conditions. Clients receive detailed reports with photo documentation and maintenance recommendations to support informed real estate decisions.
Well Inspection
We conduct thorough well inspections including flow testing and water quality analysis. Our process checks for bacterial contamination, nitrates, and lead content while assessing pump functionality. Results from certified laboratories help determine water safety and system reliability for residential properties.
Septic Inspection
Our septic system inspections locate tanks, assess component conditions, and evaluate drainfield performance. We coordinate pumping services when needed and check for proper system operation. This helps identify potential environmental hazards and maintenance requirements for property buyers and owners.
Radon Testing
We use continuous radon monitors for 48-hour testing periods to measure indoor radon levels. This EPA-recommended method provides accurate readings of radioactive gas concentrations that may pose health risks, helping homeowners address potential mitigation needs.
Air Quality Testing
Our air quality assessments collect samples from interior and exterior environments to detect mold spores and volatile organic compounds. This testing identifies potential indoor air pollutants that could affect occupant health and comfort in residential properties.
