Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural integrity, electrical components, plumbing functionality, and HVAC performance. We identify immediate concerns and potential long-term maintenance needs while explaining findings during the inspection. Our illustrated reports provide actionable recommendations to support informed real estate decisions.
Radon Testing
We conduct continuous radon monitoring using certified equipment to measure gas levels over 48 hours. Our EPA-qualified inspectors follow strict protocol to ensure accurate readings and provide risk assessment with mitigation guidance if elevated levels are detected. Results are included in detailed reports with clear safety recommendations.
Thermal Imaging
Advanced thermal imaging identifies hidden moisture issues and insulation deficiencies by detecting temperature variations. This non-invasive technology reveals problems invisible to the naked eye, particularly useful for assessing energy efficiency and water damage. Our analysis helps prevent costly repairs through early detection of thermal anomalies.
Environmental Reports
We evaluate potential environmental concerns affecting properties including soil contamination and proximity to regulated facilities. Our reports incorporate local regulatory data to identify risks impacting habitability or property value. This service provides crucial information for buyers considering land development or renovation projects.
Pest Inspections
NEPMA-certified inspections detect wood-destroying organisms and infestation evidence. We examine structural components for termite damage, carpenter ant activity, and moisture-related pest conditions. Our reports meet lending institution requirements while providing practical solutions to address identified issues and prevent future infestations.
