Home The Inspection Company Companys
Our comprehensive home inspections thoroughly evaluate structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. Using infrared imaging and drone technology, we identify hidden issues and provide 40-50 page reports with digital photos and actionable recommendations. Our inspections help buyers and sellers understand property conditions while offering lifetime consultation for ongoing maintenance.
Radon Testing
We conduct radon testing using state-of-the-art electronic monitors to detect this cancer-causing gas. Our 48-hour real-estate testing meets EPA standards, providing accurate measurements to assess health risks. We offer mitigation guidance and retesting services to ensure safe indoor air quality for Atlanta homeowners through detailed contamination reports and actionable solutions.
Mold Screening
Our mold screening utilizes Mold ScanPlus technology to detect 21 microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) from active mold growth. We offer air sampling during inspections and provide laboratory analysis within 3-5 days, identifying hidden mold contamination without destructive testing. Our reports include remediation recommendations to ensure healthy indoor environments for residential properties.
203K Mortgage Guidance
We support FHA 203K mortgage transactions by assessing property conditions for rehabilitation loans. Our inspections identify repair requirements and help buyers understand renovation needs in Atlanta's historic neighborhoods. We provide documentation meeting HUD requirements while working with approved lenders to facilitate successful mortgage applications for home improvement projects.

Beyond mold screening, we offer comprehensive environmental testing for volatile organic compounds and indoor air quality issues. Our services include air exchange rate assessments and contamination index reporting to identify chemical hazards. We provide detailed analysis of indoor environmental conditions to protect occupant health in residential properties.
