Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate over 400 components including structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. Certified inspectors identify current issues and potential problems to help buyers make informed decisions. The service includes detailed digital reports with photographic documentation for clear understanding.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing services identify dangerous levels of this odorless, colorless gas that causes lung cancer. Conducted by licensed contractors, tests follow EPA protocols with 48-hour monitoring in lowest livable areas. Results guide mitigation system installation when elevated levels are detected.
Mold Inspection
Combining visual assessment with air and surface sampling, our mold inspections identify contamination sources and airborne spore levels. Certified technicians test high-risk areas like attics and basements, providing remediation guidance to prevent health risks and structural damage from mold growth.
Commercial Property Inspection
Thorough evaluations of commercial buildings covering structural integrity, electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, and environmental factors. Inspectors with specialized certifications assess property condition for buyers, sellers, or investors, identifying maintenance needs and potential liabilities.
EIFS Stucco Inspection
Certified third-party inspections of Exterior Insulated Finish Systems (EIFS) identify improper installation and water infiltration issues. Non-invasive moisture testing and visual assessments detect problems in synthetic stucco cladding that could lead to structural damage if left unaddressed.
