Services
Home Inspection
Report
A pre-listing inspection is typically purchased by a homeowner prior to listing their home for sale. Knowing the condition of the home and its systems before listing can give the seller valuable insight into what needs to be repaired or replaced and what issues may arise during negotiations regarding the home and the property.
Radon Testing
Report
Radon is an odorless, radioactive gas that rises naturally from the earth. It enters the home easily through open crawlspaces, small cracks and openings in the home's foundation, or pathways provided by the installation of utilities. Over time, elevated radon levels can have serious health consequences for those living in the home.
Indoor Air Quality & Mold Testing
Report
We offer indoor air quality testing using a Zefron mold sampling pump and Air-O-Cell sampling cassettes. The process is quite simple: an air pump draws air through a small cassette containing a sticky slide and the slide catches microscopic particles in the air. The cassette is then sent to a certified lab for analysis and a report is generated with the lab's findings.
Oil Tanks, Wells, Sewer & Septic
Report
It is not uncommon for buried oil tanks to corrode and leak, spilling heating oil into the soil around them. Soil cleanup and replacement of the tank can be quite expensive. If there is uncertainty regarding the existence of or condition of a buried oil tank, having the tank located and soil tested is a wise investment.
Roofing Defects
Report
Moisture issues are some of the largest concerns when inspecting a house; water getting into areas where it should not be is always an immediate concern. Defects on the roof, though common, can lead to significant issues quickly. Left unattended, even small deficiencies can lead to mold growth in the attic, rot in framing, and water damage to interior finishes.
