Services
Buyers Inspection
Our buyers inspections provide comprehensive evaluations of residential properties, covering structural components, mechanical systems, and safety hazards. Certified inspectors examine foundations, roofs, plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC units to identify defects affecting livability or value. Reports include photographic documentation and prioritized repair recommendations to support informed purchasing decisions.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using continuous monitoring devices to measure radioactive gas levels in homes. Certified professionals follow state protocols for placement and analysis, providing detailed reports with mitigation recommendations when levels exceed 4 pCi/L. Testing covers both existing homes and new construction projects.
New Construction Inspection
Two-phase inspections for new homes assess construction quality during framing and final stages. Inspectors verify code compliance, material specifications, and system functionality before drywall installation and prior to closing. Reports identify workmanship issues and ensure builder commitments align with contractual agreements.
Sewer Scoping
Advanced camera inspections evaluate sewer lines for cracks, blockages, and root intrusion. Real-time video footage documents pipe condition with precise location markings for targeted repairs. This non-invasive assessment helps prevent costly plumbing emergencies in residential properties.
Mold Testing
Environmental testing identifies mold spore concentrations and moisture sources within residential structures. Certified technicians collect air and surface samples for laboratory analysis, providing remediation guidance when elevated levels of harmful mold species are detected during property inspections.
