Services
Radon Testing
Our EPA-certified radon testing identifies harmful radon gas levels in homes using AARST and EPA guidelines. We deploy state-of-the-art equipment for 48-hour tests, delivering results within two days. High radon levels, the second-leading cause of lung cancer, are addressed with mitigation guidance to ensure indoor air safety.
Thermal Imaging
Free thermal imaging detects hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and HVAC inefficiencies during inspections. Using infrared technology, we identify energy leaks and electrical hazards non-invasively, following NFPA safety standards to prevent costly repairs and improve home efficiency.
Well System Inspection
We evaluate private well systems for water quality, pressure, and structural integrity. Our process includes flow testing, pump performance analysis, and contamination checks, ensuring safe drinking water compliance with EPA recommendations. Reports include repair guidance for aging components or contamination risks.
Pre-Offer Inspection
Pre-offer inspections uncover structural and system defects before purchase. We assess HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing per ICC codes, providing detailed reports to negotiate repairs or pricing adjustments, reducing post-purchase surprises for buyers.
New Construction Inspection
Our new construction inspections identify hidden flaws in recently built homes. We follow AARST and EPA protocols to test radon, inspect mechanical systems, and verify code compliance, ensuring long-term safety and avoiding costly post-warranty repairs for homeowners.
