Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and interior/exterior conditions. We identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and potential repair costs while providing clear documentation through detailed reports with photographic evidence. Clients receive easy-to-understand findings that support informed purchasing decisions for residential properties.
Radon Inspection
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using state-of-the-art equipment to measure radioactive gas levels in residential properties. Our licensed technicians identify entry points and concentration patterns, providing mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected. The process includes continuous monitoring and detailed reporting to ensure occupant safety and regulatory compliance.
Pest Inspection
Our licensed pest inspections focus on detecting wood-destroying organisms including termites, carpenter ants, and powder post beetles. We examine structural components for active infestations, past damage, and conducive conditions through thorough visual assessments of accessible areas. Reports document findings with photographic evidence and include treatment recommendations when necessary.
Structural Inspection
We evaluate structural components including foundations, framing, and load-bearing elements for integrity and safety. Our assessments identify settlement issues, water damage, and code violations while examining construction quality and material condition. Findings help clients understand long-term maintenance requirements and potential repair costs associated with property purchases.
HVAC Inspection
Our HVAC inspections assess heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for operational efficiency and safety. Technicians evaluate equipment condition, thermostat functionality, and ductwork integrity while identifying maintenance needs or replacement requirements. Reports include actionable recommendations to ensure optimal system performance and energy efficiency.
