Services
Home Inspections
Our residential inspections thoroughly evaluate structural components, mechanical systems, and safety features. Inspectors examine foundations, roofs, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential health hazards. We identify immediate concerns and maintenance needs while providing context about system lifespans. Clients receive detailed reports with digital images and repair cost estimates to support informed purchasing decisions.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using continuous monitoring devices. Our licensed technicians measure radon concentrations in living areas through 48-hour tests. Results determine if mitigation is needed to reduce lung cancer risks. We follow strict closed-house protocols to ensure accurate readings and provide post-mitigation verification testing for existing systems.
Sewer Scope Inspections
Using specialized cameras, we inspect main sewer lines for blockages, root intrusion, and structural damage. The inspection identifies bellied pipes, offset joints, and other issues that could cause backups. Our video documentation shows exact problem locations while reports recommend repair solutions. This prevents unexpected costs from underground plumbing failures during property transactions.
Commercial Inspections
We perform ASTM-compliant assessments of commercial properties including office buildings, warehouses, and retail spaces. Evaluations cover structural integrity, mechanical systems, and code compliance. Our reports identify deferred maintenance issues and capital expenditure requirements. Clients receive condition assessments with repair prioritization to support investment decisions and lease negotiations.
Thermal Imaging
Included with all inspections, thermal imaging detects moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps. Our FLIR-certified inspectors identify hidden issues invisible to the naked eye. The technology reveals energy efficiency concerns and verifies proper HVAC operation. This non-invasive tool enhances diagnostic capabilities beyond standard visual inspections.
