Services
Standard Home Inspection
Our comprehensive inspection evaluates visible structural components, mechanical systems, and interior/exterior features. Using advanced tools, we identify material defects in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and foundation systems while providing maintenance recommendations. Reports include detailed findings with photographic documentation to support informed real estate decisions.
Pre-Listing Inspection
This seller-focused inspection identifies potential issues before listing a property. We assess systems and components to recommend preventive maintenance, helping homeowners address concerns proactively. Our reports enable sellers to improve market readiness and negotiate from a position of transparency regarding property condition.
Four Point Inspection
Specialized evaluation of roof, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems for insurance purposes. Conducted by licensed professionals, this inspection determines system age and condition to meet insurer requirements for older properties. Differentiated from standard inspections by its focused scope on key insurance risk factors.
Mold Inspection
We perform swab sampling for visible mold and whole-house air quality testing using AIHA-accredited lab analysis. Our process identifies mold types and concentrations through spore trap cassettes, providing detailed reports on indoor air quality. This helps address health concerns and remediation needs through scientific documentation.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Non-invasive thermal evaluation detects hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and energy inefficiencies. Using heat-sensitive cameras, we identify insulation gaps, water intrusion, and HVAC performance issues that conventional methods might miss. This technology enhances inspection accuracy for both residential and commercial properties.
