Buyer Inspections
Our buyer inspections evaluate residential properties for potential issues, including structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC functionality. We provide detailed reports to help clients understand property conditions before finalizing purchases. Our licensed inspectors explain findings clearly and offer maintenance recommendations to protect investments.
Truth-in-Housing Inspections
These inspections ensure compliance with Minneapolis and St. Paul housing ordinances, identifying health and safety hazards. We document required repairs and re-inspect properties after fixes are made. Our licensed evaluators file reports with city authorities to facilitate smooth real estate transactions in accordance with local regulations.
Radon Evaluation
We conduct 48-hour radon testing in the lowest habitable areas of homes to measure radioactive gas levels. Our EPA-compliant assessments identify concentrations exceeding the 4.0 pCi/L action level, helping homeowners mitigate risks through professional mitigation systems when necessary.
Sewer Scoping
Using video technology, we inspect sewer lateral lines for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. This service identifies potential issues that could lead to costly repairs after home purchases, allowing buyers to negotiate repairs or budget for future maintenance needs.
Moisture Testing
Our moisture testing focuses on stucco walls to detect water infiltration that could compromise structural integrity. Early identification of moisture issues helps prevent long-term damage and expensive remediation, ensuring homes remain safe and durable for occupants.

We really liked Greg. He took the time to explain how everything worked and what he was looking for during the inspection. The final report was very detailed with recommendations as to when we should review and/or replace some of the items being inspected.
