Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and safety hazards. Certified inspectors spend 3-4 hours examining properties, identifying maintenance needs, and explaining findings on-site. Detailed reports with photos help buyers negotiate repairs or sellers prepare listings. We prioritize client education to prevent costly surprises after ownership transfer.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-recognized Radon testing using continuous monitoring devices over 48+ hours. Our reports explain measurement results, health risks from this carcinogenic gas, and mitigation recommendations. Testing occurs in lowest livable areas where Radon typically concentrates, helping homeowners address potential lung cancer risks through proven remediation solutions.
Mold Inspection
Our mold inspections combine visual evaluation with air and surface sampling in moisture-prone areas. Certified inspectors identify hidden growth patterns, assess health risks from mycotoxins, and recommend remediation specialists. We provide laboratory analysis reports with photographic documentation to address allergy concerns and maintain indoor air quality standards in residential properties.
Pre-Listing Inspection
This proactive inspection helps sellers disclose property conditions before listing. We identify repair needs that could delay sales, recommend maintenance improvements, and document current conditions to strengthen pricing strategies. Our reports help sellers complete repairs before showings, reducing negotiation conflicts and accelerating closing timelines for faster property transactions.
Water Quality Testing
We analyze private well water for contaminants including bacteria, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals. Our EPA-certified laboratory testing packages assess potability and safety for household use. Results include detailed explanations of health implications and filtration recommendations to ensure compliance with state drinking water standards for residential properties.
