Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections assess all major systems including foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. We identify current issues and potential problems while explaining maintenance needs. Clients receive detailed digital reports with photos and clear explanations of any areas requiring attention.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using continuous monitoring devices to measure radon levels in homes. This critical health screening identifies dangerous radon concentrations that can cause lung cancer, providing essential information for homeowners and buyers.
Sewer Scope
Using advanced camera technology, we inspect sewer lines for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. This specialized inspection helps prevent expensive plumbing emergencies by identifying issues in Chicago's aging drainage systems before they become major problems.
Thermal Imaging
Our thermal imaging technology detects temperature variations that reveal hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps. This non-invasive tool enhances standard inspections by identifying issues not visible to the naked eye.
Commercial Inspections
We provide detailed evaluations of commercial properties including structural components, mechanical systems, and exterior features. Our reports help business owners and investors understand property conditions and make informed investment decisions.
