Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, mechanical systems, and environmental factors. We assess roofing, plumbing, electrical wiring, HVAC units, and foundation integrity while checking for asbestos, mold, and radon contamination. Commercial property inspections follow the same rigorous standards, providing buyers with detailed documentation of potential issues.
Mold Inspections
We conduct thorough mold assessments using air sampling and surface testing methods. Our inspectors identify moisture sources contributing to mold growth and document affected areas in detailed reports. Testing includes common allergenic and toxic mold species with recommendations for professional remediation when necessary.
Radon Testing
Our EPA-certified technicians perform short-term and long-term radon testing using continuous monitoring equipment. We measure radon gas concentrations in indoor air and provide mitigation recommendations when levels exceed safety thresholds. All testing follows state-specific protocols for real estate transactions.
Septic Evaluations
We inspect septic tanks, drain fields, and distribution boxes for structural integrity and functionality. Our assessment includes effluent levels, baffle conditions, and soil absorption capacity. We identify system failures and provide repair cost estimates while checking compliance with local health department regulations.
Well Water Analysis
We collect water samples for laboratory analysis of bacterial contamination, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants. Testing packages include standard potability checks and specialized contaminant screening. Results come with interpretation guides and treatment recommendations for unsafe water conditions.
