Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roof condition. We identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and potential repair costs while explaining findings in plain language. Clients receive digital reports with photographs and prioritized recommendations to support informed real estate decisions.
Radon Testing
We use continuous radon monitors to measure radioactive gas levels in homes. Our EPA-recognized testing follows strict protocols to detect concentrations above 4.0 pCi/L action levels. Results include mitigation recommendations and comparisons to natural radiation exposure from 200 annual chest X-rays at threshold levels.
Well Flow Testing
This service measures private well output in gallons per minute (GPM) and water pressure (PSI). We assess system performance without invasive procedures, identifying adequacy for household needs and potential requirements for supplemental water sources or system upgrades.
Water Quality Testing
We collect water samples following laboratory guidelines to test for potability and contaminants. Using accredited facilities, we analyze for bacteria, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants, providing results that help homeowners ensure safe drinking water and address treatment needs.
Mold Inspection
Our licensed assessors identify mold presence and growth patterns using visual inspection and air sampling. We explain health risks from airborne spores and recommend remediation strategies while providing preventive maintenance guidance to maintain healthy living environments.
