Services
Home Buyer Inspections
Our home buyer inspections provide a comprehensive evaluation of a property's condition, covering structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC. We identify safety hazards, needed repairs, and maintenance issues to help buyers make informed decisions. Inspectors explain findings in detail during the visit and deliver easy-to-understand reports with photos and prioritized recommendations.
Radon Testing
Radon testing detects dangerous levels of this odorless, radioactive gas that can seep into homes through foundation cracks. We use certified methods to measure concentrations and provide clear results with mitigation guidance if elevated levels are found. Testing takes 48 hours and is recommended for all home purchases to ensure long-term health safety.
Sewer Scope Inspections
Sewer scope inspections use high-resolution cameras to evaluate lateral sewer lines from the home to the city tap or septic tank. We identify blockages, root intrusion, pipe offsets, and other issues that could lead to costly repairs. A video recording and detailed report document the line's condition and recommend corrective actions.
New Construction Inspections
New construction inspections ensure recently built homes meet quality standards and building codes. We examine workmanship, material installation, and system functionality to catch defects early. Our reports help buyers address issues with builders before final walkthroughs, protecting their investment and ensuring long-term satisfaction.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Pre-listing inspections help homeowners identify potential issues before putting their property on the market. This proactive approach reduces negotiation surprises, speeds up sales, and demonstrates transparency to buyers. We provide detailed reports sellers can share with prospective buyers to build trust and confidence in the listing.
