Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and safety hazards. Using thermal imaging and 400+ data points, we identify issues affecting property value and livability. Clients receive easy-to-read reports with photos and repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing detects this odorless, cancer-causing gas in residential properties. We use EPA-recommended methods to measure concentrations and provide mitigation guidance. Testing takes 48 hours with results exceeding 4.0 pCi/L triggering retesting or remediation recommendations to protect occupant health.
Termite Inspections
Certified WDI inspections identify termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-destroying organisms. Our 'whole house' approach examines hidden areas like crawlspaces and wall voids. Reports document active infestations, damage extent, and treatment options to prevent structural compromise.
Mold Testing
Mold inspections detect hidden moisture issues and airborne spores affecting indoor air quality. We use moisture meters and air sampling to identify contamination sources. Results guide remediation strategies for allergy sufferers and property preservation.
Sewer Scopes
Video sewer inspections diagnose pipe blockages, cracks, and root intrusion. A camera-equipped probe provides real-time visuals of underground lines. Reports identify repair needs and prevent costly backups, ensuring proper drainage system functionality.

I had this company do my home inspection. I am very glad that I was able to use this company. The gentlemen took the time to explain the things that he found. He was very easy to talk to and I feel much more informed about me decision involving home buying due to this! Everything that was done was well documented and there were pictures included on the report he sent me. I am very satisfied with Point Man Home Inspection and would recommend them to anyone that wants it done right!!
