Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine all accessible structural components and mechanical systems including roofing, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. We identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and potential defects using standardized protocols while providing clear photographic documentation. Clients receive detailed digital reports within 24 hours to support informed real estate decisions.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-recommended radon testing using continuous monitoring equipment to measure this odorless radioactive gas. Our certified technicians place detectors in optimal locations for 48-hour testing periods, providing accurate readings that determine if mitigation systems are required to protect occupant health.
Water Testing
Our water quality assessments detect harmful substances including lead, bacteria, and nitrates using EPA-certified laboratory analysis. We collect samples from primary water sources following strict protocols to ensure accurate results that determine potability and identify necessary filtration solutions for residential properties.
Asbestos Testing
We perform OSHA-compliant asbestos inspections for suspect materials in older properties. Our certified inspectors collect samples following safety protocols for laboratory analysis, providing definitive results that guide proper abatement procedures when hazardous fibers are detected in building materials.
New Construction Inspection
Our pre-final walkthrough inspections identify construction defects and code violations in newly built homes. We examine workmanship quality, system functionality, and compliance with building standards, providing builders with detailed reports to complete corrective actions before occupancy permits are issued.
