Home Inspections
Our general home inspections evaluate visible structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. We use thermal imaging and detailed reporting to identify potential issues, ensuring clients understand a property's condition before purchase or sale. Inspections include roof, foundation, attic, and crawl space assessments.
Energy Audits
Energy audits analyze home energy use through blower door tests, thermal imaging, and appliance evaluations. We identify air leaks, insulation gaps, and inefficiencies, providing actionable recommendations to reduce utility costs and improve comfort while qualifying for tax credits.
Radon Testing
Radon testing uses continuous monitors to detect this odorless, cancer-causing gas. We provide fast, accurate results and mitigation guidance, addressing a critical health risk often overlooked in homebuying processes.
Mold Testing
Mold inspections include air, surface, and bulk sampling analyzed by certified labs. We identify mold types, contamination sources, and remediation steps, protecting clients' health and property value from hidden infestations.
Termite Inspections
Termite/WDI inspections examine properties for wood-destroying insects. We document active infestations or prior treatments on NPMA-33 forms required by lenders, preventing costly structural damage through early detection.
