Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. Using thermal imaging technology and drone assistance, we identify hidden issues and provide detailed reports to help buyers make informed decisions. Our certified inspectors follow strict standards to ensure complete property evaluations.
Radon Testing
We conduct professional radon testing using continuous monitoring devices to measure radon levels in residential properties. This critical health assessment helps identify potential risks from radioactive gas accumulation, providing essential information for homeowners and buyers while meeting Oregon's disclosure requirements.
Sewer Scope
Partnering with Speedy Inspections LLC, we offer sewer line evaluations using specialized camera equipment. This service identifies blockages, cracks, or root intrusions in underground pipes, preventing costly repairs through early detection while maintaining our focus on core inspection expertise.
Thermal Imaging
Our FLIR-certified inspectors use thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature anomalies in building envelopes. This non-invasive technology reveals hidden moisture issues, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies that traditional inspections might miss, enhancing diagnostic accuracy without destructive testing.
Drone Inspection
For inaccessible roof areas, we employ 4K drones equipped with high-resolution cameras. This technology enables safe, detailed roof inspections without physical climbing risks, capturing comprehensive visual data to assess roof condition, identify damage, and recommend maintenance priorities.
