Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, mechanical systems, and potential safety hazards. We follow Massachusetts Standards of Practice while exceeding requirements through infrared scanning and termite detection. With 40 years of local expertise, we provide detailed diagnostics to protect homebuyers' investments.
Infrared Scan
Included in every standard inspection, our infrared scans detect hidden moisture issues and electrical hotspots. This technology identifies problems invisible to the naked eye, showing temperature variations that indicate potential structural damage or energy efficiency concerns.
Termite Inspection
We conduct thorough inspections for wood-destroying organisms at no additional charge. Our trained inspectors identify active infestations, previous damage, and conditions conducive to termite activity, providing essential information for homebuyers.
Radon Testing
We offer professional radon gas testing in air and water. This important health screening identifies radioactive gas levels that could pose long-term risks if left undetected in residential properties.
Well Inspection
Our specialized well testing services analyze water quality and pressure systems. We assess both mechanical components and contamination risks, providing critical information for properties relying on private water sources.
