Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. We identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and potential repair costs while educating clients about property conditions. Each inspection includes detailed documentation with photographs and videos to support informed decision-making for buyers, sellers, or homeowners.
Radon Testing
We conduct professional radon testing using EPA-recommended methods to measure radioactive gas levels in residential and commercial properties. Our testing identifies potential health risks from radon exposure and verifies mitigation system effectiveness. Results help property owners address this leading cause of lung cancer through appropriate remediation measures.
Water Quality Testing
Our certified laboratory testing identifies contaminants in private well water systems including bacteria, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants. We offer basic and standard testing packages that meet Connecticut Department of Public Health recommendations for arsenic and uranium screening. Results help ensure safe drinking water and identify necessary treatment solutions.

I'm so happy that we researched home inspectors and found Thomas. I have to say, he went above and beyond at our home inspection. We are looking to purchase a 1900 Victorian and he took us through every single component of the house very professionally. If we ever need another inspection, Thomas will be the only one we call. Thank you for being so knowledgeable!
