Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. We identify safety hazards and maintenance needs, providing detailed reports with photos and repair recommendations. Inspections typically take 2.53 hours, ensuring thorough coverage of all accessible areas.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-approved continuous monitor radon testing to detect harmful gas levels. Results help buyers assess health risks and negotiate mitigation solutions. Testing follows Connecticut Department of Public Health guidelines for accuracy and reliability.
Septic System Inspection
Our septic evaluations check tank integrity, drain field functionality, and potential leaks. We recommend pumping before inspections for full visibility. Findings help buyers understand maintenance costs and system lifespan.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Using infrared cameras, we detect hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hotspots. This non-invasive technology reveals issues invisible to the naked eye, enhancing the standard inspections diagnostic power.
Well Water Testing
We sample private well water for contaminants like bacteria, nitrates, and heavy metals. Certified lab analysis ensures safe drinking water and identifies treatment needs, crucial for properties relying on private water sources.
