Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. Certified inspectors examine properties from foundation to roof, delivering same-day reports with color imagery to support informed purchasing decisions. With 6,000+ completed inspections, we identify critical issues that impact property value and livability.
Mold Testing
Professional mold assessment services identify hidden moisture issues and airborne contaminants. We use advanced testing methods to detect mold spores in HVAC systems and building materials, providing clear guidance for remediation. Our reports include photographic evidence and recommendations to protect occupant health and maintain property integrity.
Radon Testing
Continuous radon monitoring provides accurate measurements of radioactive gas levels in residential and commercial buildings. Our EPA-qualified technicians deploy digital detectors for 48+ hours, generating detailed reports that meet real estate transaction requirements. Results include mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Commercial Inspections
Tailored inspections for commercial properties assess structural integrity, mechanical systems, and code compliance. We evaluate building envelopes, roofing systems, and critical infrastructure to identify maintenance needs and liability risks. Reports help investors and business owners make informed decisions about property acquisitions and operational readiness.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Proactive property evaluations help sellers address issues before listing. Our inspections identify needed repairs, safety concerns, and maintenance items that could delay transactions. The detailed report becomes a marketing tool, demonstrating transparency to potential buyers while potentially increasing sale prices through preemptive problem resolution.
