Services
Residential Inspections
Our residential inspections thoroughly evaluate all major home systems including foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Certified inspectors identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and potential repair costs. Clients receive detailed reports with prioritized recommendations to support informed buying or selling decisions.
Commercial Inspections
Commercial inspections assess building structure, mechanical systems, and compliance for investors and business owners. We provide property condition assessments, cost-to-cure estimates, and ADA accessibility reviews. Our reports help clients understand investment risks and plan capital expenditures.
Sewer Scopes
Sewer scope inspections use camera technology to examine underground sewer lines for blockages, cracks, or root intrusion. This non-invasive assessment identifies potential repair needs before they become emergencies. The service helps prevent costly sewer backups and maintenance issues.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing detects dangerous levels of this odorless radioactive gas in homes. Our Ohio-licensed technicians use state-approved methods to measure radon concentrations. Results help homeowners mitigate health risks and ensure safe indoor air quality.
Pest Inspections
Pest inspections identify wood-destroying insects like termites and carpenter ants. Certified inspectors examine structural components for infestation signs. Early detection helps prevent structural damage and maintains property value during real estate transactions.
