Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections utilize thermal imaging and drone technology to identify structural, electrical, and plumbing issues. Certified inspectors examine foundations, roofing systems, HVAC units, and potential safety hazards. The service includes same-day digital reports with photographic evidence to support informed real estate decisions.
Mold Testing
Professional mold inspections use advanced moisture detection equipment to identify hidden fungal growth. We analyze air quality samples and provide remediation guidance for toxic mold species. The service includes detailed reports on contamination levels and abatement recommendations to protect occupant health.
Radon Detection
Continuous electronic monitoring identifies radon gas levels in residential properties. Our EPA-recommended testing process measures concentrations over 48-hour periods using tamper-proof equipment. We provide clear results interpretation and mitigation guidance for elevated readings that exceed safety thresholds.
Termite Inspection
Thermal imaging and physical examination detect termite activity in structural components. We identify shelter tubes, wood damage, and swarm indicators. The inspection includes moisture mapping to locate conditions attracting subterranean termites and recommendations for preventive measures.
Energy Auditing
Infrared thermography identifies energy loss points in building envelopes. We assess insulation performance, air leakage, and HVAC efficiency. The audit provides actionable recommendations to improve energy performance and reduce utility costs through targeted building envelope improvements.
