Services
Residential Inspections
Our residential inspections thoroughly evaluate all major home systems including foundations, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. We identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and potential costly repairs to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions. Our certified inspectors use advanced tools like infrared cameras to detect hidden issues in properties across Chicago and surrounding areas.
Commercial Inspections
Commercial inspections assess building structures, mechanical systems, and compliance for investors and businesses. We examine roofing, HVAC, electrical systems, and structural integrity to identify maintenance costs and safety concerns. Our reports help clients evaluate investment risks and negotiate terms for commercial properties including office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities in Illinois.
Radon Testing
Radon testing measures dangerous radioactive gas levels in homes and buildings. Our certified professionals use continuous monitoring devices to detect concentrations exceeding EPA safety thresholds. This critical service protects occupants from lung cancer risks associated with long-term exposure, especially in high-radon areas like Illinois where mitigation may be necessary.
Sewer Scope
Sewer scope inspections use high-resolution cameras to evaluate underground drainage systems. We identify blockages, root intrusion, pipe damage, and other issues that could lead to costly repairs. This service helps buyers understand potential plumbing liabilities and sellers address problems before listing properties in Chicago's older neighborhoods.
New Construction
New construction inspections verify proper installation of building systems before final payments. We check compliance with codes, identify builder oversights, and ensure quality standards meet buyer expectations. Our independent assessments help homeowners address defects at the builder's expense, preventing future maintenance issues in newly constructed residential properties.
