Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including roofs, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Certified inspectors identify maintenance needs and safety concerns, providing detailed reports with photos to help clients make informed real estate decisions. Services adhere to Wisconsin Standards of Practice for thoroughness and accuracy.
Septic Evaluations
We conduct full septic system assessments including tank inspection, drain field evaluation, and functionality testing. Inspectors check for leaks, structural issues, and regulatory compliance, offering repair recommendations to ensure system longevity and environmental safety for property buyers and sellers.
Radon Testing
Using EPA-recommended methods, we perform 48-hour radon testing with electronic monitors to measure radioactive gas levels. Our NRPP-certified professionals identify elevated radon concentrations in basements and living areas, providing mitigation guidance to reduce health risks for homeowners.
Water Testing
We collect water samples following Wisconsin DNR protocols to test for contaminants like bacteria, nitrates, and arsenic. Results from state-certified labs help homeowners understand water safety, with interpretation services to explain health implications and treatment options for private well systems.
Well Inspections
Our DNR-licensed inspectors evaluate well construction, pump functionality, and water production capacity. Services include code compliance checks, contamination risk assessments, and water sample collection to ensure safe drinking water supplies during property transactions.
Questions
What does a home inspection include?
Our inspections cover roofs, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, foundations, and major components. We identify safety issues, maintenance needs, and system deficiencies following Wisconsin Standards of Practice.
How long does an inspection take?
Typical home inspections take 2-3 hours, with additional time required for septic or well evaluations. Clients receive detailed reports within 24 hours of completion.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes, client attendance is encouraged. Inspectors explain findings during the visit and provide a final walkthrough to discuss key issues and maintenance recommendations.
Do you inspect winterized properties?
We can inspect winterized homes, but plumbing evaluations become visual-only. Well and septic inspections require functional systems, and snow-covered drain fields may limit visibility.
Are your inspectors certified?
Our team holds WI Certified Home Inspector credentials, NRPP Radon certification, and Wisconsin DNR Pump Installer licenses, ensuring compliance with state and industry standards.
How much does an inspection cost?
Pricing depends on property size, age, and requested services. Contact us directly for customized quotes based on your specific inspection requirements.
