Services
Residential Inspections
Our residential inspections provide comprehensive evaluations of properties for buyers and sellers. We examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards using advanced tools like infrared imaging. Clients receive detailed reports and on-site explanations to make informed real estate decisions.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technology enhances inspection accuracy by identifying energy inefficiencies and potential structural risks. Results are integrated into our reports with clear visual documentation for client understanding.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-recognized radon testing to measure this odorless, radioactive gas linked to lung cancer. Short-term and long-term testing options ensure compliance with real estate transaction requirements. Clients receive clear results and mitigation guidance if elevated levels are detected.
Air Quality Testing
Air quality assessments identify allergens, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) affecting occupant health. Testing protocols follow industry standards to ensure accurate detection of contaminants. Recommendations for remediation are provided alongside test results.
Pre-drywall Inspections
Pre-drywall inspections evaluate framing, electrical, plumbing, and insulation before wall coverings are installed. This phase ensures compliance with building codes and identifies corrections early in construction. Builders and homeowners receive actionable feedback to prevent costly future repairs.
