Questions
What does a home inspection cover?
We inspect roofing, siding, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, windows, doors, and major appliances. Our reports identify safety hazards and maintenance needs.
Why test for radon?
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Testing detects invisible gas levels, allowing mitigation systems to reduce risks to safe levels.
How long does an inspection take?
Typical inspections last 2-3 hours depending on property size. Digital radon testing requires 48 hours of monitor placement for accurate results.
Are reports provided the same day?
Yes, we email comprehensive inspection reports with digital documentation within 24 hours of completing on-site evaluations.
Do you service both buyers and sellers?
We provide pre-sale inspections for sellers and buyer inspections to identify issues before closing. Our reports help negotiate repairs or pricing adjustments.
