Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and safety hazards. Using thermal imaging and moisture meters, we identify hidden issues in roofs, foundations, and walls. Clients receive detailed digital reports with photographs and maintenance recommendations to support informed purchasing decisions.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using continuous monitoring devices to measure radon levels in residential properties. With Dane County's elevated radon rates, our NRSB-certified specialists provide accurate assessments and mitigation guidance to ensure safe living environments.
Thermal Imaging
Our FLIR E-8 thermal cameras detect temperature variations revealing hidden moisture intrusion, electrical faults, and insulation gaps. This non-invasive technology complements traditional inspections by identifying issues in walls, attics, and mechanical systems that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Appliance Recall Checks
During inspections, we cross-reference major appliances with manufacturer recall databases to identify safety hazards. This service helps protect buyers from potential risks associated with recalled HVAC systems, water heaters, and kitchen appliances without additional charges.
Property Evaluation
We provide detailed evaluations of property conditions including roof, foundation, windows, and mechanical systems. Our reports document current maintenance needs, potential repair costs, and compliance with building codes to help buyers negotiate fair purchase terms.
