Services
Home Inspection
A comprehensive visual examination of a home's major systems, including structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Our inspectors identify safety hazards and maintenance needs using advanced tools like drones and thermal imaging. Reports include detailed photographs and actionable recommendations within 24 hours.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Conducted before listing a home for sale, this inspection helps sellers address potential issues proactively. Covering over 400 items, it includes structural integrity checks and system evaluations to streamline the sales process and justify asking prices with documented condition reports.
Radon Testing
Using AirThings Corentium Pro monitors, we measure radon levels over 48 hours to detect this odorless, cancer-causing gas. Results are analyzed with temperature and humidity data, providing clear reports to ensure safe indoor air quality for homeowners.
Mold Testing
Surface and air samples are collected during inspections and analyzed by EMSL Analytical labs to detect hidden mold. Results within 24 hours identify contamination risks, helping buyers understand potential health hazards and remediation needs.
Infrared Technology
FLIR thermal cameras detect moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technology enhances inspection accuracy by visualizing temperature variations in building systems.
