Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and safety features. Certified inspectors evaluate foundations, roofs, windows, and mechanical systems to identify current issues and potential concerns. The service includes detailed reporting with photographic documentation and maintenance recommendations.
Radon Testing
Professional radon measurement using certified equipment follows strict protocol requiring 12-hour home closure. Tests are conducted during inspections with lab analysis completed within 48 hours. Results determine if mitigation is needed to address this leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Maintenance Check
Scheduled yearly inspections identify developing issues before they become costly repairs. Our experts assess system longevity, safety concerns, and maintenance needs across all property areas. This proactive approach helps preserve home value and prevent emergency situations through early intervention.
