Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine all accessible structural and mechanical components including roofs, foundations, electrical systems, and plumbing. Certified inspectors use specialized tools to identify defects and safety hazards. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic documentation and repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing to measure radioactive gas levels in residential properties. Using specialized detectors, our certified technicians analyze air samples from basements and lower levels where radon typically accumulates. Results determine if mitigation systems are needed to reduce health risks associated with elevated radon levels.
Re-inspection
Our re-inspection service verifies completion of recommended repairs after initial inspections. Inspectors examine previously identified defects to ensure proper remediation. This service helps buyers confirm property condition improvements before finalizing real estate transactions or obtaining occupancy permits.
Commercial Inspection
Tailored inspections for commercial properties evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, and code compliance. Our certified inspectors assess building components at scale, identifying maintenance needs and safety concerns. Reports include detailed analysis of HVAC systems, electrical infrastructure, and potential liability risks.
Move-In Certified Inspection
This seller-focused service identifies property defects before listing homes for sale. Certified inspectors evaluate all major systems to create repair roadmaps, helping sellers address issues proactively. The certification process enhances property marketability by demonstrating transparency to potential buyers.
