Services
Whole House Inspections
Our comprehensive whole house inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and interior/exterior components. Inspectors access attics, crawl spaces, and roofs to identify major defects affecting habitability. Reports include photo documentation and prioritized recommendations for informed decision-making.
Termite Inspections
Licensed inspectors conduct visual assessments for wood-destroying insects, identifying active or inactive infestations and damage. We provide detailed reports on findings and offer structural inspections for lenders when required, included at no extra charge with whole house inspections.
Radon Inspections
We perform 46-hour radon testing using continuous monitors in the lowest habitable area. The process requires closed-building conditions to ensure accurate results, with electronic tamper detection and same-day email delivery of final reports.
Septic System Inspections
Visual evaluations of septic tanks and leaching systems identify visible defects. Inspections determine system type (aerobic/anaerobic) and condition, with results emailed to clients. Fees vary based on accessibility requirements like riser installation or excavation needs.
Well Inspections
We conduct EPA-certified water quality tests for coliform and E. coli bacteria, along with flow rate assessments measuring gallons per minute. Quality tests require 24-hour lab processing, while quantity tests run for 20-30 minutes to evaluate water supply capacity.
