Services
Buyers Inspection
Our Buyers Inspection provides detailed reports identifying damages and safety defects according to ASHI standards. We examine roof, foundation, electrical systems, and structural components to inform purchasing decisions. Clients receive comprehensive evaluations with findings explained in clear, non-technical language during the inspection process.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Pre-Listing Inspections help sellers identify property defects before market exposure. We evaluate building systems and components to recommend necessary repairs. This proactive approach enables sellers to address issues before listing, potentially improving marketability and preventing negotiation complications during the sales process.
New Construction Inspection
Our New Construction Inspection provides final walkthrough assessments for recently built homes. We identify construction oversights and system performance issues using specialized tools. This evaluation ensures quality standards are met and addresses potential problems before final occupancy.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging detects hidden moisture and temperature anomalies using advanced infrared technology. This non-invasive method identifies issues invisible to the naked eye, including water intrusion and insulation deficiencies. Findings guide targeted investigations and repairs for improved property integrity.
Sewer Scope Inspection
Sewer Scope Inspections use camera technology to evaluate underground drainage systems. We identify root intrusion, pipe cracks, and blockages through direct visual examination. Clients receive video documentation showing current sewer line conditions for informed maintenance decisions.
