Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems using thermal imaging and visual assessments. We identify material defects, maintenance needs, and safety concerns while providing repair lists and digital reports. Clients receive actionable insights to make informed real estate decisions.
Mold Assessment
Certified mold assessments include visual inspections, humidity readings, and targeted sampling following EPA guidelines. We identify moisture sources, document growth areas, and provide remediation protocols. Services comply with Virginia Code 55.1-703 for accurate, actionable results.
Mold Remediation
Our certified remediation services address confirmed mold growth using containment strategies and EPA-recommended protocols. We provide sanitization plans, post-remediation verification, and guidance for preventing future issues while ensuring indoor air quality improvements.
Radon Testing
Radon testing follows EPA protocols with 48-hour closed-house requirements. We use certified devices to measure gas levels, interpret results against safety thresholds, and recommend mitigation systems when necessary to protect occupant health.
Sewer Scope
Sewer line evaluations use camera technology to inspect lateral pipes up to 125 feet. We identify blockages, cracks, or root intrusions in underground systems, providing video documentation and repair recommendations to prevent costly failures.

Questions
Can I choose my own home inspector in Virginia?
Yes, Virginia is a 'Buyer Beware' state allowing homebuyers to select their preferred inspector regardless of seller preferences or real estate agent recommendations.
Are home inspectors required to report mold in Virginia?
Virginia regulations don't mandate mold reporting, but Aztec includes certified mold assessments following EPA guidelines to identify growth sources and provide remediation protocols.
Do home inspectors check building code violations?
Virginia prohibits home inspectors from citing building code violations. Our evaluations focus on observable defects in major systems without code compliance judgments.
How long does a home inspection report take?
99% of our reports are delivered onsite before leaving the property, with mold assessment reports provided within three business days of sample collection.
Do you inspect appliances during home inspections?
We inspect built-in appliances like dishwashers but exclude freestanding items like stoves unless specifically requested as part of additional services.
Should I test for radon if a mitigation system exists?
Yes, we recommend annual radon testing even with existing mitigation systems to ensure proper functionality and occupant safety.
