Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major residential systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. Certified inspectors identify current issues and potential problems that could affect property value or safety. This service helps buyers and sellers make informed real estate decisions with detailed technical assessments.
Radon Testing
We conduct professional radon testing in accordance with EPA guidelines to detect dangerous levels of this radioactive gas. Testing occurs in the lowest livable home areas where radon typically concentrates. Our reports include clear findings and recommendations for mitigation if elevated levels are detected, ensuring family safety.
Water Testing
Our water quality testing services analyze both public and private water systems for contaminants including bacteria, heavy metals, and radon. We test for potability, physical parameters, and chemical composition to ensure safe drinking water. Results help identify necessary filtration or treatment solutions for residential properties.
Wood Destroying Insects
This specialized inspection identifies evidence of termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-destroying organisms. Our trained inspectors examine structural components for active infestations and damage patterns. Early detection helps prevent costly repairs while our reports document findings for real estate transactions.
Pre-Marketing Inspection
Designed for home sellers, this inspection identifies potential issues before listing. Findings allow sellers to address problems proactively or disclose conditions transparently. This service helps facilitate smoother transactions by reducing unexpected delays during buyer negotiations and closing processes.
