Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. Licensed inspectors follow state guidelines to identify issues that could affect property value or livability. We provide detailed reports with photographic evidence and maintenance recommendations for buyers, sellers, and homeowners.
Radon Testing
We conduct 48-60 hour radon testing using Continuous Radon Monitors that track gas levels every hour. Our reports include graphical data showing fluctuations and average concentrations. This long-term testing method provides more accurate results than short-term charcoal tests, helping protect occupants from this odorless, radioactive gas.
Infrared Imaging
Infrared imaging detects temperature variations in building materials to identify moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps. Our thermal cameras reveal hidden problems behind walls and ceilings without destructive testing. This non-invasive technology helps prevent costly repairs by catching issues early.
Building Inspections
Commercial and residential building inspections evaluate foundations, roofs, windows, doors, and mechanical systems. We assess compliance with building codes and identify safety concerns. Our reports help property owners understand maintenance needs and potential renovation requirements for both new purchases and existing structures.
Property Assessments
Property condition assessments cover all accessible areas including attics, crawl spaces, and basements. We document current condition, identify immediate repairs, and note future maintenance needs. These evaluations help buyers negotiate prices and sellers prepare for market readiness while providing clear documentation for real estate transactions.
