Services
Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
Our pre-purchase inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and potential safety hazards. Using thermal imaging and moisture detection tools, we identify hidden issues in roofs, foundations, and walls. Clients receive detailed reports with photo documentation to support informed buying decisions.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing to measure radioactive gas levels in homes. Short-term and long-term testing options provide accurate assessments of indoor air quality risks. Results come with mitigation recommendations to ensure safe living environments for homeowners.
Home Energy Score
This DOE-certified assessment evaluates home energy efficiency through insulation checks, HVAC performance analysis, and utility usage projections. Our reports include cost-saving recommendations for improvements like weatherization and appliance upgrades to enhance property sustainability.
Sewer Scope Inspection
Using high-resolution camera equipment, we inspect sewer lines for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. This non-invasive assessment identifies potential repair needs in underground piping systems, preventing costly emergencies for property buyers and sellers.
One Year Warranty Inspection
This service identifies emerging issues in newer homes before warranty expiration. We examine construction quality, system performance, and maintenance needs to help homeowners address problems while still covered under builder guarantees.
