Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspection evaluates all accessible structural components and systems including electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and roof condition. Using infrared technology and sewer line diagnostics, we deliver a 50+ page digital report with photographic evidence to identify current issues and potential concerns. Adam personally conducts post-inspection walkthroughs to explain findings and provide maintenance recommendations before finalizing your detailed documentation.
Sewer Line Inspection
Utilizing advanced camera technology, we inspect sewer lines for blockages, cracks, or root intrusion while providing real-time video footage and comprehensive analysis. This service identifies drainage issues that could lead to costly repairs, with findings documented in our detailed reports. Included at a discounted rate when combined with standard home inspections, this diagnostic evaluation ensures clients understand underground plumbing conditions before property transactions.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects moisture intrusion, electrical hot spots, and insulation deficiencies invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technology creates visual heat maps to identify energy loss, hidden leaks, or electrical concerns during inspections. Combined with standard assessments, this diagnostic tool enhances report accuracy by revealing concealed issues that traditional methods might miss, providing clients with complete property condition awareness.
Annual Maintenance Inspection
This preventative service identifies minor issues before they become major problems through attic and crawl space inspections, roof evaluation, and system functionality testing. Designed for homeowners seeking proactive maintenance, the inspection includes personalized DIY advice and repair referrals. By documenting property conditions annually, clients can track maintenance needs and protect their investment through timely interventions.
