Services
Home Inspections
Our residential home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential moisture issues. Certified inspectors use infrared technology to detect hidden problems, providing detailed reports with photo documentation. Clients receive clear explanations of findings to support informed real estate decisions.
Commercial Inspections
We conduct comprehensive commercial property evaluations following ASTM E2018-15 standards. Our inspections cover structural components, mechanical systems, and compliance requirements for office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial properties. Reports include repair recommendations and maintenance guidance tailored to investment properties.
Infrared Scanning
This advanced diagnostic service uses thermal imaging to identify energy inefficiencies and hidden water leaks. Infrared scans detect moisture intrusion and insulation gaps that conventional inspections might miss, providing critical data for property maintenance and energy conservation planning.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Our pre-listing inspections help homeowners identify repair needs before marketing properties. This service includes comprehensive system evaluations and maintenance recommendations to enhance property appeal and potentially increase sale value through proactive issue resolution.
New Construction Packages
We offer specialized inspections for newly constructed homes, including 1-year warranty evaluations. Our package combines structural assessments with system functionality checks, ensuring builder accountability and identifying maintenance needs before warranty expiration for long-term property protection.
