Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roof conditions. Licensed inspector George Norberg uses thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify hidden issues. Clients receive detailed digital reports with photos and repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Mold Testing
We conduct mold sampling and air quality assessments to detect allergens and contaminants. Certified inspectors collect samples from suspected growth areas and analyze indoor air quality. Results help homeowners address health risks and remediate mold problems before they escalate.
Asbestos Inspection
Professional asbestos inspections identify hazardous materials in older properties. We collect samples from suspected materials like insulation and ductwork, then coordinate lab testing. Results help property owners comply with safety regulations and plan safe removal processes.
Radon Testing
Radon testing detects dangerous levels of this odorless radioactive gas in residential properties. We use continuous monitoring devices to measure radon concentrations over 48+ hours. Results help homeowners mitigate risks of long-term exposure through proper ventilation solutions.
New Construction Inspection
Pre-move-in inspections identify construction defects in new homes. We examine workmanship quality, system functionality, and code compliance. Our phase inspections track progress at key construction milestones to ensure quality control throughout the building process.
