Services
Buyers Inspection
Our comprehensive buyers inspection evaluates all major home systems including roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. Using Washington State Standards of Practice, we identify defects and provide detailed digital reports with photographs and videos to help clients make informed real estate decisions.
New Construction Inspection
This specialized inspection identifies construction defects in newly built homes before final contractor walkthroughs. Our inspectors examine workmanship quality and system functionality, helping buyers address issues while contractors are still available for corrections during the warranty period.
Mold Inspection
Our mold inspection service detects potential contamination through visual assessment and air quality testing. We identify moisture sources and mold growth patterns, providing recommendations for remediation to protect property value and occupant health in accordance with EPA guidelines.
Radon Testing
Using EPA-certified equipment, we conduct professional radon testing to measure radioactive gas levels in homes. Our short-term and long-term testing options identify dangerous concentrations that require mitigation, helping protect families from this leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Pre-Listing Inspection
This proactive inspection helps sellers identify repair needs before listing properties. By addressing issues upfront, sellers can expedite sales processes, maintain asking prices, and demonstrate transparency to potential buyers through comprehensive condition documentation.
