Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural components, mechanical systems, and safety features. Inspectors identify repair needs, maintenance requirements, and potential hazards during a 3-hour on-site evaluation. Clients receive digital reports with color images and clear explanations within 24 hours, enabling informed real estate decisions for buyers and sellers.
Radon Testing
We provide EPA-recommended radon testing using specialized monitoring equipment. This odorless, invisible gas assessment helps identify health risks from uranium decay byproducts in residential properties. Testing occurs over 48 hours with detailed results explaining mitigation needs, particularly for finished lower-level spaces where exposure risks are highest.
Termite Inspection
Our WDI-certified inspections identify wood-destroying insects and structural damage. The evaluation covers visible infestation signs, moisture issues attracting pests, and existing damage patterns. Clients receive clear documentation of affected areas and repair recommendations to maintain property integrity and safety standards.
Pre-Listing Inspection
This proactive inspection helps sellers identify property issues before listing. The assessment covers all major systems to facilitate realistic pricing, preempt buyer negotiations, and reduce liability through documented disclosures. Findings enable sellers to address repairs proactively, potentially expediting the sales process.
New Construction Inspection
Conducted before final builder walkthroughs, these inspections verify proper installation of systems and components. The evaluation occurs when utilities are active, ensuring comprehensive testing of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to identify construction defects before warranty periods begin.
