Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections cover all major systems from roof to foundation. We examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, windows, and doors. Using thermal imaging and visual examination, we identify potential issues while providing same-day electronic reports with detailed photographs and clear descriptions to help protect your investment decision.
Radon Testing
We provide professional radon testing services using standardized procedures to measure this radioactive gas. Our certified inspectors place monitoring devices in optimal locations according to EPA protocols. The testing process takes 48 hours and includes a detailed analysis of results along with mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected, helping protect occupants from this health hazard.
Mold Testing
Our mold testing service identifies potential moisture issues and fungal growth in residential properties. Certified inspectors use moisture meters and visual examination to locate problem areas. We offer air sampling and surface testing options with laboratory analysis to determine specific mold types. The comprehensive report includes actionable recommendations for remediation when necessary to maintain healthy indoor environments.
Pest Inspections
This specialized inspection identifies signs of wood-destroying organisms including termites and carpenter ants. Certified inspectors examine accessible areas for evidence of infestation or damage. The service follows standardized forms required by lending institutions and includes assessment of structural components, moisture-prone areas, and potential entry points for pests in residential properties.
Energy Evaluation
Our energy evaluation service uses thermal imaging technology to identify air leaks and insulation deficiencies. Certified inspectors analyze heat differentials in wall surfaces and other building components to locate energy loss points. The assessment includes recommendations for improving energy efficiency through targeted upgrades to insulation, sealing, and HVAC systems to reduce utility costs.
