Services
Residential Inspections
Our residential inspections evaluate every aspect of a home's condition, from roof to foundation. We identify structural, mechanical, and environmental issues to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions. Clients receive a detailed Spectora report with photos and repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Radon Testing
We conduct professional radon testing to detect this odorless, radioactive gas that can enter homes through foundation cracks. Our certified inspectors use advanced equipment to measure radon levels and provide clear guidance for mitigation if elevated levels are found, ensuring family safety.
Sewer Line Inspections
Using specialized cameras, we inspect sewer lines for damage caused by roots, seismic activity, or aging infrastructure. Our inspections identify blockages, leaks, and structural issues that could lead to costly repairs, providing critical information for property transactions or maintenance planning.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging inspections detect hidden issues like air leaks, moisture intrusion, and electrical hotspots. This non-invasive technology helps improve energy efficiency by identifying areas where conditioned air escapes, allowing targeted improvements to reduce utility costs and enhance comfort.
Drone Photography
Our drone inspection services provide detailed visual assessments of hard-to-reach areas like roofs and tall structures. High-resolution imagery captures damage, wear, and safety concerns that ground-level inspections might miss, offering comprehensive documentation for insurance or maintenance purposes.
