Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, roofing, and safety features. Certified inspectors identify potential issues to help buyers/sellers make informed decisions. Services cover pre-listing, pre-purchase, and maintenance inspections across residential properties.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing measures radioactive gas levels in homes using certified methods. We provide accurate results and mitigation guidance to reduce health risks from this leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Mold Testing
Mold inspections identify hidden growth and airborne spores through lab analysis. Our certified technicians assess moisture sources and contamination levels to ensure safe living environments and proper remediation planning.
Infrared Imaging
Infrared thermography detects temperature anomalies revealing hidden moisture, insulation gaps, electrical hotspots, and HVAC inefficiencies. This non-invasive technology enhances standard inspections with deeper property diagnostics.
Sewer Scope
Sewer scope inspections use camera technology to evaluate underground piping conditions. We identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, and other issues that could lead to costly repairs or health hazards.
