Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural, electrical, and mechanical systems across 1,000+ components. We identify deficiencies in roofs, plumbing, and HVAC systems while assessing potential safety hazards. Clients receive detailed digital reports within hours, featuring clear explanations of findings to support informed purchasing decisions.
Infrared Scanning
Included at no extra charge, our infrared scans detect hidden moisture issues and electrical hotspots. This technology identifies energy inefficiencies and potential fire hazards invisible to the naked eye. The results are integrated into our main inspection report with actionable repair recommendations.
Radon Testing
We offer specialized radon testing for both air and water sources as an add-on service. Our EPA-certified equipment measures radioactive gas levels exceeding safety thresholds. Results come with mitigation guidance to reduce health risks associated with prolonged radon exposure.
Well Water Quality
Available as an additional service, we test private well systems for bacterial contamination and chemical pollutants. Our assessment includes flow rate measurements and water safety recommendations to ensure compliance with health standards for residential use.
Termite Inspection
Complimentary termite inspections identify active infestations and wood-destroying organisms. We examine structural components for damage patterns and conducive conditions. Findings include treatment options and prevention strategies to protect property investments.
