Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. Using advanced tools like infrared cameras and moisture meters, we identify hidden issues that could affect property value. Clients receive detailed reports with photos and videos to support informed decision-making during real estate transactions.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using Continuous Radon Monitors that provide same-day results. Our NRS-certified specialists measure radon levels in air and water, identifying potential health risks from this radioactive gas. Reports include mitigation recommendations if levels exceed EPA action thresholds, ensuring client safety and regulatory compliance.
Sewer Scope Inspection
Our InterNACHI-certified technicians perform sewer lateral inspections using high-resolution cameras to detect cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. Video documentation shows pipe condition and identifies repair needs, preventing costly failures. This service is particularly recommended for properties with aging cast iron piping systems.
Leak Detection
Using infrared thermal imaging, we identify hidden water leaks in walls, ceilings, and floors before visible damage occurs. Our moisture meters verify findings, and reports document leak locations and potential sources. This technology helps prevent structural damage and mold growth through early intervention.
Mold Testing
We perform AI-powered mold analysis using air and surface samples evaluated by ISO-accredited labs. Our reports identify mold types, spore concentrations, and contamination sources. This service helps protect occupant health by detecting hidden mold growth that standard visual inspections might miss.
