Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. We follow InterNACHI's rigorous standards to identify current issues and predict future concerns. Each inspection includes detailed reporting with photographic documentation to support informed decision-making for property transactions.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-recognized radon testing using continuous monitoring devices for accurate results. Our process measures indoor radon concentrations and provides mitigation recommendations when levels exceed 4 pCi/L. Testing includes both short-term (48-hour) and long-term assessment options to meet Wisconsin real estate transaction requirements and homeowner safety needs.
Termite Inspections
Certified wood-destroying insect inspections identify termite activity and other pest-related damage. Our VA-compliant inspections meet Wisconsin's specific requirements for mortgage financing. We examine structural components for active infestations, damage patterns, and conducive conditions while providing clear documentation for real estate transactions.
Mold Testing
Our mold testing services identify airborne spore concentrations and surface contamination. Using specialized sampling equipment, we compare indoor and outdoor mold levels to assess potential health risks. The process includes moisture mapping to identify hidden water issues contributing to mold growth in residential and commercial properties.

We perform commercial property inspections following the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties. Our assessments cover structural integrity, mechanical systems, life safety features, and code compliance. Each inspection is customized to property type and client needs, with detailed reporting for investment decisions and facility management planning.
