Services
Resale Home Inspection
Our resale home inspections evaluate structural integrity, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC to identify defects that could impact property value. We provide actionable insights for buyers and sellers to negotiate repairs or adjust pricing. Inspections include same-day reports with photos and maintenance recommendations.
New Construction Inspection
We inspect new homes for code compliance, safety hazards, and construction quality before closing. Our ICC-certified inspectors examine foundations, roofing, electrical systems, and HVAC to uncover hidden flaws. Reports help buyers address issues with builders under warranty agreements.
Mold Inspection
Using advanced moisture detection tools, we identify mold growth in hard-to-reach areas like walls and attics. Our ACAC-certified inspectors assess health risks and provide remediation guidance to protect occupants from allergens and respiratory hazards.
Radon Inspection
We measure radon levelsa carcinogenic gasin basements and foundations using EPA-recommended devices. Results determine if mitigation systems are needed to reduce exposure risks, ensuring homes meet safety standards in high-risk Georgia counties.
Sewer Scope Inspection
A camera-equipped scope inspects sewer lines for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. This prevents costly repairs by identifying leaks or structural failures early. Reports detail pipe material, damage severity, and repair urgency.
