Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC. With 43+ years of experience, we identify hidden issues using thermal imaging and deliver detailed reports onsite. Clients receive actionable repair lists and a 60-page maintenance manual to safeguard their investment.
Mold Remediation
Certified mold remediation services address moisture issues and eliminate mold growth. We conduct non-invasive assessments, identify root causes, and implement solutions to ensure safe indoor air quality. Our process complies with Virginia Code 55.1-703 for thorough, code-compliant results.
Radon Testing
Radon gas testing identifies elevated levels that pose health risks. Using calibrated equipment, we measure radon concentrations and provide clear guidance for mitigation. Testing is recommended for all homes to ensure occupant safety and compliance with health standards.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects hidden leaks, electrical faults, and insulation gaps. This non-invasive technology reveals issues invisible to the naked eye, preventing costly damage. Added for $25, it enhances inspection accuracy and safety by identifying overheating circuits and water intrusion.
Sewer Scope
Sewer scope inspections use camera technology to assess pipe condition. We identify cracks, blockages, and root intrusion, providing video evidence of issues. This service prevents future plumbing failures and ensures proper drainage system functionality during home purchases.

Got a home inspection and radon and mold testing from Aztec Home Inspections in August 2021. Mike was great during the visit, teaching me about my home as he went through it. Since the report was produced and since I laid, i have sent two emails asking questions about the house and the report, and he responded immediately with additional useful information. Mike delivers a great service product and continues to do so after the work is done.

Excellent home inspector. Mike was thorough and checked out everything. We went into the inspection wondering if the house was solid and in good shape, and came out of it with a list of things that needed fixing but a clear indication that we were making a good decision. Mike knows his stuff, didn't pull any punches even with the realtor standing right there, and that gave us confidence in his inspection report. Highly recommend.

Mike from Aztec Home Inspections was professional, he came in and did a very detailed and thorough inspection. He took the time to explain everything he found and took the time to answer all my concerns and questions. He even had suggestions on how to address the issues he found he found throughout the inspection. He's very responsive and you can tell he truly cares about the well being of others.

I would recommend him to anyone who had questions or concerns about mold. The report was so thorough and detailed. Everything you would need to know was included (from what exactly mold is, the different

Aztec and Mike were wonderful to work with. From booking the initial appointment online to getting the reports and paying, the entire process was seamless, user-friendly, and thorough. Aztec is the only company in town doing mold assessments. The reports are easy to read and generate a second report for contractors to use. I highly recommend using them!

Mike is a fantastic home inspector. I had a leak from my bathtub on the second floor which was causing water damage and mold growth in my living room ceiling. Mike quickly found the leak, tested the area for mold and inspected the entire house for water intrusion. His report was extremely thorough yet easy to comprehend. I would highly recommend using Mike if you have suspicions of water intrusion or mold growth in your home.
