Services
Full Home Inspection
Our Full Home Inspection examines structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, and HVAC. Using thermal imaging and drone photography, we identify hidden issues. Ideal for buyers needing a complete assessment of residential properties.
New Construction Inspection
We inspect newly built homes for code compliance and workmanship quality. Our service includes three-phase evaluations during foundation, framing, and final stages. Builders and buyers rely on our punch-list reports for pre-final payment verification.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps. This non-invasive technology provides visual evidence of energy inefficiencies. Recommended for pre-insulation assessments and leak investigations.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing to measure radioactive gas levels in homes. Short-term and long-term testing options available with certified equipment. Protect your family from this invisible carcinogen during property transactions.
Re-Inspection Services
Post-repair re-inspections confirm resolution of previously identified issues. We verify fixes to plumbing leaks, structural repairs, and system upgrades. This service ensures contractual obligations are met before transaction closure.
