Standard Home Inspection
Our standard home inspection thoroughly evaluates accessible structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. We identify maintenance needs and potential defects while providing actionable recommendations. Clients receive a detailed digital report with photos and video documentation within 24 hours.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Pre-listing inspections help sellers identify property issues before market exposure. We assess major systems and components to facilitate transparent transactions. This service includes repair guidance and documentation to justify asking prices while preventing last-minute negotiations.
Radon Gas Testing
We conduct professional radon gas testing using state-of-the-art equipment to measure indoor air quality. Our certified inspectors identify elevated radon levels that may pose health risks, providing mitigation recommendations when necessary.
Mold Inspection
Our mold inspections identify visible growth and hidden moisture issues that could lead to structural damage or health concerns. We use specialized tools to detect spore concentrations and provide laboratory analysis when required.

Sewer scope inspections use camera technology to evaluate lateral sewer lines for blockages or damage. We recommend this service for properties over 20 years old or with suspected drainage issues to prevent costly repairs.
