Services
General Home Inspection
Our comprehensive residential inspection examines structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and built-in appliances. We provide detailed reports with photographic evidence and repair recommendations, focusing on safety hazards and major defects that could impact property value or livability.
Pre-Listing Inspection
This proactive assessment helps sellers identify potential issues before listing their property. Our evaluation covers similar components as general inspections but emphasizes market readiness, helping sellers make informed pricing decisions and avoid negotiation surprises during buyer inspections.
New Construction Inspection
We evaluate newly constructed homes during final stages to identify installation errors or incomplete work. Our inspection focuses on code compliance, system functionality, and construction quality, providing buyers with documentation to address issues with builders before occupancy.
Mold Inspection
Specialized assessment identifies visible mold growth and moisture sources that could lead to contamination. We examine high-risk areas like basements and bathrooms, providing laboratory analysis options for air quality testing and remediation guidance when necessary.
Radon Testing
Using certified equipment, we measure radon levels in residential properties. Our short-term testing provides initial readings, with long-term monitoring options available for confirmed results, helping homeowners mitigate health risks associated with this radioactive gas.
