Services
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Our comprehensive pre-purchase inspections evaluate all major home systems from roof to basement. We test electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures, HVAC systems, and structural components while identifying safety hazards. Clients receive detailed reports with digital photos and repair recommendations within hours of inspection completion.
Radon Testing
Certified radon measurement services detect this odorless, radioactive gas linked to lung cancer. We use EPA-approved devices placed in lowest home levels for 48-hour testing periods. Results are available immediately with mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected.
WDO Inspection
Wood-destroying organism inspections meet VA loan requirements by checking for termites, wood decay, and beetle infestations. We examine structural exteriors, crawlspaces, and basements while documenting evidence of current infestations or past damage.
New Construction Inspection
Three-phase inspections monitor quality during home building. Foundation, framing, and final inspections verify proper installation of drainage systems, electrical wiring, and structural components. Final reports identify builder deficiencies before settlement.
Mobile Home Inspection
Specialized inspections for mobile homes identify structural issues and maintenance needs. We evaluate undercarriage conditions, plumbing systems, and potential safety hazards while providing repair cost estimates for informed purchasing decisions.
