Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, and safety hazards. We examine roofs, foundations, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC units to identify current or potential issues. Clients receive detailed electronic reports with photographic evidence and repair recommendations within 24 hours of inspection completion.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects temperature variations that reveal hidden moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies. This non-invasive technology identifies problems invisible to the naked eye, preventing costly future repairs. Our certified technicians interpret thermal patterns to provide actionable insights during property evaluations.
Radon Testing
Radon testing measures radioactive gas levels in residential properties using continuous monitoring devices. This EPA-recommended service identifies health hazards from underground uranium decay. We provide accurate 48-hour test results with mitigation recommendations when elevated levels exceed safety thresholds, ensuring occupant safety and regulatory compliance.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Pre-listing inspections help homeowners identify repair needs before marketing properties. Our detailed assessments cover all major systems and components, giving sellers actionable data to address issues proactively. This service streamlines transactions by reducing negotiation points and increasing buyer confidence during real estate sales.
Wood Destroying Insects
Wood-destroying insect inspections identify termite, carpenter ant, and beetle infestations that compromise structural integrity. We examine accessible areas for active infestations, damage patterns, and conducive conditions.
