Services
Residential Inspection
Our comprehensive residential inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. We identify maintenance needs and provide detailed recommendations to protect your property investment. Our reports meet and exceed Wisconsin state standards for home inspections.
Mold Inspection
Specialized mold inspections detect hidden moisture sources and visible mold growth patterns. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify problem areas, providing remediation guidance based on EPA guidelines. Our certified inspectors follow strict protocols for accurate mold assessment.
Radon Testing
Digital radon testing employs continuous monitoring equipment to measure radon gas levels over 48+ hours. Our state-certified technicians follow EPA protocols for accurate results, providing mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected in residential and commercial properties.
Air Quality Testing
Comprehensive air quality assessments identify allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter affecting indoor environments. We use calibrated equipment to measure airborne contaminants, offering solutions to improve ventilation and reduce health risks in residential spaces.
Moisture Intrusion
Advanced moisture detection tools identify hidden water damage in walls, ceilings, and foundations. We trace water entry points, assess structural impact, and recommend repairs to prevent mold growth and structural deterioration in residential and commercial buildings.
