Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine all visible systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. We identify safety hazards and major defects that could cost over $500 to repair. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence and maintenance recommendations within 24 hours of inspection completion.
Radon Testing
We conduct professional radon testing using specialized equipment to measure this odorless, radioactive gas. Elevated levels can pose serious health risks, making testing crucial for homes in radon-prone areas. Results help determine if mitigation systems are needed to protect occupants' health.
WDI Testing
Our wood-destroying insect inspections identify termite activity and other pest damage. We check structural components for active infestations or past damage evidence. This testing helps prevent costly repairs from undetected pest-related structural compromise.
Lead Testing
We test for lead-based paint in homes built before 1978 using specialized XRF equipment. This identifies potential hazards in older properties, especially important for families with young children. Results guide necessary remediation efforts to ensure safe living conditions.
Air Quality Testing
Our air quality assessments identify mold spores and other airborne contaminants. We collect samples from problem areas to determine potential health risks. This testing helps address ventilation issues and contamination sources affecting indoor environmental quality.
