Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems and components, including structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC. Licensed inspectors in Columbus, Ohio, conduct detailed assessments lasting 2-4 hours, focusing on identifying defects and maintenance needs. Clients receive a 24-hour post-inspection report with photos and explanations to support informed decision-making for residential property purchases.
Radon Testing
We perform Continuous Radon Monitor tests using EPA-recommended methods to measure radon levels in homes. Conducted by licensed specialists, this 48-hour short-term test identifies radioactive gas concentrations that may pose health risks. Results inform mitigation strategies for properties in high-radon areas like Franklin and Delaware Counties, where levels often exceed EPA safety thresholds.
WDI Inspections
Wood-Destroying Insect inspections identify termites, carpenter ants, and other pests threatening structural integrity. Certified technicians examine properties for active infestations and conducive conditions like moisture issues. Our Ohio-specific expertise addresses regional pest risks, providing treatment recommendations and prevention strategies to protect residential investments from costly damage.
Sewer Scope
Sewer scope inspections use borescope cameras to evaluate underground drainage systems from homes to public lines. This service detects blockages, cracks, or root intrusions in private sewer pipes. Early identification of issues prevents expensive repairs and ensures proper wastewater management for properties in both urban and rural Columbus areas.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging with FLIR cameras identifies hidden moisture in walls and structural components undetectable through visual inspections. This non-invasive technology reveals water intrusion points and insulation deficiencies, enabling targeted repairs. The service enhances standard inspections by uncovering concealed issues that could lead to mold growth or structural deterioration over time.
