Services
General Inspection
Our general home inspection evaluates visible foundation components, electrical systems, heating/cooling units, plumbing, roofing, and insulation. Inspectors identify faulty items and provide actionable recommendations while considering client-specific concerns. This comprehensive assessment helps buyers and sellers understand property condition.
Radon Testing
We conduct 48-hour radon monitoring using encrypted, tamper-proof devices that track radon concentration, temperature, and humidity. Third-party reviewed results include mitigation specialist referrals if elevated levels are detected. Annual equipment calibration ensures testing accuracy per industry standards.
Roof Inspection
Our roof inspections examine flashing integrity, exposed nail heads, and potential punctures. Capable of walking 95% of roofs, we provide detailed assessments of roofing materials and structural vulnerabilities to prevent future water intrusion issues during property transactions.
Crawl Space Inspection
We thoroughly evaluate crawl spaces for moisture intrusion, structural damage, and insulation issues. This critical inspection area assessment identifies potential foundation problems and maintenance needs that could impact property value and structural integrity.
New Construction Inspection
Our new construction inspections verify proper installation of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems against building codes. We identify construction defects during key phases to ensure quality control before final walkthroughs, protecting buyers from post-occupancy surprises.
