Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and built-in appliances. We identify defects and maintenance needs through visual examination of accessible areas. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence to support all findings.
Radon Testing
We conduct 48-hour radon testing using continuous monitoring equipment to measure radioactive gas levels in residential properties. Results help identify health risks from radon exposure, which causes 21,000 lung cancer deaths annually. Testing follows EPA-recommended protocols.
Water Testing
Our water testing services detect contaminants like coliform bacteria, E. coli, lead, and nitrates through certified laboratory analysis. We identify pH imbalances and hardness issues affecting plumbing systems and household water usage.
Termite Inspection
We arrange third-party wood-destroying insect inspections to identify termite activity, carpenter ants, and powder post beetles. Reports include treatment estimates when infestations are detected, following NC licensing requirements.
Maintenance Inspection
Annual maintenance inspections help identify minor issues before they become costly repairs. We examine roofing materials, plumbing boots, and other vulnerable components to prevent water intrusion and structural damage over time.
