Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. We identify safety hazards and maintenance issues through visual assessment of accessible areas. Reports include photographic documentation and prioritized recommendations for both immediate concerns and long-term maintenance.
Mold Inspections
Specialized mold inspections focus on identifying moisture intrusion points and conditions conducive to microbial growth. We examine attic ventilation, gutter systems, and visible ductwork. Our non-invasive assessment documents visible mold growth and recommends remediation strategies when necessary, following EPA guidelines for indoor air quality.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing uses continuous monitoring devices to measure radioactive gas levels over 48+ hours. We follow EPA protocols to ensure accurate results, providing mitigation recommendations if levels exceed safety thresholds. Testing covers both new construction and existing homes to protect occupant health.
Well Water Testing
Private well testing analyzes water samples for contaminants including bacteria, heavy metals, and nitrates. We follow strict sampling protocols to ensure EPA-compliant results. Reports identify safety concerns and recommend treatment options to guarantee potable water for residential use.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Pre-listing inspections help sellers identify potential issues before marketing their property. Our reports highlight necessary repairs, safety concerns, and maintenance items to facilitate smoother transactions. This proactive approach reduces negotiation obstacles and liability exposure for home sellers.
