Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Certified inspectors use thermal imaging and 4K drone technology to detect hidden issues. Reports include detailed findings with photographic evidence and repair recommendations to protect buyers and sellers from unexpected costs.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using continuous monitoring devices to measure radioactive gas levels. Our mitigation services address elevated readings through proven venting systems. Inspections identify entry points through foundation cracks or HVAC systems, providing solutions to reduce health risks associated with long-term exposure.
Termite Inspection
Specialized inspections detect termite activity and wood-destroying organisms through structural component examination. We identify active infestations, past damage, and conducive conditions using moisture meters and borescopes. Reports document findings with repair cost estimates for real estate transactions or maintenance planning.
Well & Septic Inspection
We assess private well functionality and septic system integrity through component testing and flow analysis. Inspections identify contamination risks, structural failures, and regulatory compliance issues. Recommendations address repair needs to prevent costly breakdowns or environmental hazards.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Certified pre-listing inspections help sellers identify repair needs before market exposure. We evaluate structural, mechanical, and safety systems to address issues proactively. Detailed reports with repair timelines enable sellers to maximize property value and streamline real estate transactions.
