Services
Buyers Inspections
Our comprehensive property evaluations help prospective buyers understand a home's condition before purchase. Inspectors examine structural components, mechanical systems, and potential safety hazards. The detailed assessment covers electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems and identifies needed repairs to support informed buying decisions.
Radon Evaluation
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing to measure radioactive gas levels in homes. Using 48-hour continuous monitoring, our certified inspectors identify concentrations exceeding the 4.0 pCi/L action level. The assessment includes testing in the lowest habitable area and provides mitigation recommendations when necessary.
Sewer Scoping
Professional video inspection of sewer lateral lines detects tree root intrusion, cracks, and pipe offsets. Our outsourced specialists use camera equipment to evaluate underground plumbing systems. The assessment identifies potential issues that could lead to expensive repairs after home purchase.
Truth-in-Housing Inspections
We perform Minneapolis and St. Paul mandated inspections identifying structural defects and health hazards. The evaluation covers code compliance requirements and provides repair options for sellers. Our licensed inspectors handle reporting requirements for city ordinance compliance in Twin Cities municipalities.
Moisture Testing
Specialized testing of stucco-clad homes identifies hidden moisture intrusion issues. The assessment detects water penetration that could lead to structural damage and mold growth. Our inspectors use moisture meters and thermal imaging to evaluate exterior wall systems for potential problems.
