Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. With 3-5 hour evaluations, we identify current issues and future concerns while providing digital documentation and repair recommendations. Clients receive immediate post-inspection support and lifetime access to our expertise for property-related questions.
Radon Testing
Certified radon inspections measure indoor radon levels using EPA-recommended methods. We explain test results, mitigation options, and health implications of elevated radon levels. Our services include both short-term and long-term testing solutions for homes with basements, slabs, or crawlspaces, following ANSI testing protocols.
Mold Inspections
Professional mold assessments identify moisture sources and visible mold growth in residential properties. We provide remediation guidance following EPA-recommended practices, including moisture control strategies and cleanup procedures for affected building materials. Our inspections help prevent health risks associated with mold exposure.
New Construction Inspections
Three-phase inspections (pre-slab, pre-drywall, final) ensure construction quality throughout the building process. We verify proper installation of structural components, plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC before final occupancy. Our services help identify issues early to prevent costly repairs after completion.
Seller's Inspections
Proactive home inspections for sellers identify potential issues before listing. We provide detailed reports with repair recommendations to streamline the selling process. This service includes contractor referrals and post-inspection support to address buyer concerns during negotiations.
