Certified Home Inspection

Our certified home inspections are thorough and comprehensive, examining every aspect of the property from the roof to the crawlspace. We leave no stone unturned, ensuring that you receive a complete picture of the home's condition.

This meticulous approach includes detailed assessments of the foundation, framing, roof, exterior, interior walls, floors, ceilings, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, and more. Each component is carefully evaluated for potential issues, damage, or areas requiring attention. Our goal is to provide you with a clear and concise report that details any findings, potential concerns, and recommended actions.

Services Offered

Beyond our comprehensive home inspections, we offer a range of specialized services to address specific needs and concerns.

• Walk and Talk: We offer a "walk and talk" service tailored to provide quick answers to your specific questions about the property during a focused visit. This option is ideal for clients who want to understand key points promptly.

• Radon Testing: Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless gas that can be highly dangerous. We provide certified radon testing using advanced electronic continuous monitoring machines.

Results are delivered within 48 hours, allowing you to make informed decisions about potential mitigation measures.

• Mold Testing: Mold can pose significant health risks and cause property damage. We offer comprehensive mold testing, analyzing air samples within your home and comparing them to outdoor air quality. Certified lab analyses provide you with clear details about potential mold issues and appropriate remediation steps.

Our sewer scope inspections allow us to visually examine the entirety of your sewer line, identifying potential issues like roots, cracks, or obstructions. This provides crucial insights for addressing any underlying problems and avoiding future complications.
