Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections assess structural components, electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, and appliances. We identify hidden defects and maintenance needs while explaining findings in easy-to-understand terms. Clients receive digital reports with clear photographs and actionable repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Termite Inspection
We conduct Texas Official Wood-Destroying Insect (Termite) Reports to detect infestations and structural damage. Our inspections follow state guidelines and include detailed documentation of active infestations, past damage, and prevention recommendations to protect property investments.
Thermal Imaging
This advanced service uses infrared technology to detect temperature discrepancies indicating moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, or electrical issues. We include thermal imaging at no extra charge when investigating potential leaks or energy efficiency concerns during standard inspections.
New Construction Inspection
We inspect newly constructed homes for defects before closing, including foundation, pre-drywall, and final phase assessments. Our reports help buyers address construction oversights with builders, ensuring properties meet quality standards before occupancy.

Our well water testing service collects samples for laboratory analysis of chlorine, total coliform, and E. Coli. We provide third-party verified results to ensure water safety and compliance with health standards for residential properties.
