Residential Inspections
Our residential inspections evaluate every aspect of a home's condition, from roof to foundation. Certified inspectors examine structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and major appliances. We identify safety hazards and maintenance issues that could affect property value or livability, providing buyers and sellers with critical information to make informed decisions about their real estate transactions.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing identifies dangerous levels of this odorless, radioactive gas that can enter homes through foundation cracks. Using specialized equipment, we measure radon concentrations and provide clear results with mitigation recommendations. This critical safety assessment helps protect occupants from long-term health risks associated with radon exposure in residential and commercial properties.
Sewer Line Inspections
Using advanced camera technology, we inspect sewer lines for blockages, root intrusion, and structural damage. Our assessments identify potential backups or leaks that could cause expensive repairs. Early detection of issues like pipe corrosion or misaligned joints helps property owners address problems before they escalate into major plumbing emergencies affecting property infrastructure.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging inspections detect temperature variations that reveal hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies. This non-invasive technology identifies energy loss areas and potential safety hazards invisible to the naked eye. The assessment helps improve home energy efficiency while uncovering structural issues that could lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed.
Drone Photography
Drone inspections provide detailed visual assessments of hard-to-reach areas like roofs, chimneys, and tall facades. High-resolution imagery captures damage indicators that ground-level inspections might miss. This technology enhances safety by eliminating ladder use while delivering comprehensive documentation of property conditions for insurance claims, maintenance planning, and sales disclosures.

The inspector showed up on time. He didnt mind us being there with him during the inspection. Bradley went over every single detail and in a clear manner. As soon as he found something wrong he called us over to show us, explained why its a issue. I saw enough of the house and didnt want to buy it any more. The inspection wasnt finished yet, Bradley offered to end it early due to my decision. They only charged me for the time he was there, and nothing more. In the final report of the inspection Bradley was very descriptive and thorough. I highly recommend Journey Inspections. The company
