Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roof conditions. We identify safety hazards and maintenance needs while providing practical solutions for buyers and sellers. Reports include digital photos and prioritized repair recommendations.
Termite Inspection
NYS-certified termite inspections detect visible infestations and wood damage using specialized tools. We follow DEC protocols to identify active colonies and provide documentation required by mortgage lenders for property transactions.
Mold Testing
Certified mold assessments identify moisture sources and airborne spore concentrations. Our testing includes lab analysis with 48-hour reporting and practical remediation guidance for health and safety compliance.
Infrared Diagnostics
Infrared inspections detect energy leaks, insulation gaps, and moisture intrusion using FLIR-certified equipment. This non-invasive technology reveals hidden issues in building envelopes and HVAC performance.
Water Quality Testing
We test for contaminants including bacteria, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals. Results include health risk assessments and filtration recommendations for private well systems and municipal water supplies.

Questions
What does a home inspection include?
Our inspections cover structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roof, foundation, and environmental hazards like mold or termites.
Why get a home inspection?
Identify hidden defects before purchase to avoid costly repairs. Our reports help negotiate repairs or pricing with documented evidence of property conditions.
How long does an inspection take?
Typical inspections require 2-3 hours depending on property size and complexity. Infrared or mold testing may extend this timeframe.

We recommend attending for real-time explanations of findings. Your presence helps understand maintenance needs and safety concerns.

Digital reports with photos and recommendations are emailed within 24 hours. Printed copies follow by mail within 3-5 business days.
