Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and appliance functionality. We identify immediate concerns and long-term maintenance needs using thermal imaging and moisture detection technology. Clients receive a detailed report with prioritized recommendations and high-resolution photos to guide repair negotiations or maintenance planning.
Termite Inspection
Specialized termite and wood-destroying insect inspections detect active infestations and structural damage. Our certified inspectors examine accessible areas for evidence of pest activity, moisture issues attracting termites, and preventive maintenance opportunities. Reports include photographic documentation and treatment recommendations from licensed pest control partners.
Pool Inspection
We assess pool and spa systems including filtration, chemical balance, electrical components, and safety features. Our evaluation covers structural integrity of concrete/shell components, proper drainage systems, and compliance with local safety codes. Reports include maintenance tips for seasonal preparation and long-term equipment care.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
Conducted during construction phase, this inspection evaluates framing quality, electrical/plumbing rough-ins, and insulation installation. We verify compliance with building codes, identify potential structural weaknesses, and document findings with photos for builder reference. Our reports help prevent costly corrections after drywall installation.
11-Month Warranty Inspection
We identify construction defects before warranty expiration through comprehensive system checks. Our inspection covers roofing, foundation, mechanical systems, and finish work. Detailed reports with photographic evidence help homeowners secure builder remedies for covered issues before warranty terms expire.
