Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural components, mechanical systems, and potential safety hazards. We examine foundations, roofing, electrical systems, and environmental factors like radon and termites. Reports include detailed recommendations for maintenance and repairs.
Commercial Building Inspections
We assess commercial properties for purchase decisions, maintenance planning, or regulatory compliance. Our engineers evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, and code compliance while providing cost estimates for necessary repairs or upgrades.
Termite Inspection
Licensed inspectors identify wood-destroying insects and moisture issues that attract infestations. Our reports document current damage and potential risks, helping buyers negotiate repairs or sellers prepare properties for market.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-recognized radon testing using continuous monitoring devices. Results determine if mitigation systems are needed to reduce radioactive gas levels that pose long-term health risks to occupants.
Pre-sale Inspection
Homeowners receive detailed condition reports before listing properties. This proactive approach identifies repair needs, improves marketability, and reduces negotiation challenges during buyer inspections.
