Services
Home Inspections
Our home inspections assess residential properties for structural, electrical, and mechanical integrity. We follow ASHI standards, including roof evaluations via drones when necessary, and provide easy-to-read narrative reports. Clients are encouraged to attend inspections to better understand property conditions.
Radon Tests
Radon testing uses E-Perm systems to measure radon levels in homes. Tests require closed-house conditions and are conducted by PA-certified professionals. Results inform buyers about potential health risks associated with radon exposure in basements or lower livable areas.
Pest Inspections
Pest inspections identify wood-destroying insects like termites. We use NPMA-33 forms required by lenders and provide detailed reports on infestation risks. Inspections can be added to home evaluations or scheduled separately for comprehensive property analysis.
Commercial Inspections
Commercial inspections evaluate non-residential buildings for structural soundness, code compliance, and operational systems. Our team adapts inspection scope to property type, ensuring businesses understand potential liabilities before acquisition.
Detached Garage Inspections
Detached garage inspections assess structural integrity, electrical systems, and potential hazards. Fees vary based on size and complexity, from basic 1-2 car garages to larger structures with living spaces or subpanels.
