Services
Buyers Inspection
Our Buyers Inspection thoroughly evaluates visible and accessible home components, including roofing, foundation, electrical systems, and HVAC. We identify defects that may impact property value or safety, providing detailed documentation to support informed purchasing decisions. This service empowers buyers with critical insights for negotiation and risk mitigation.
Radon Testing
Radon testing detects invisible, odorless radon gas levels using specialized equipment. Elevated concentrations pose serious health risks, particularly lung cancer. Our certified technicians perform accurate assessments and recommend remediation strategies if levels exceed EPA safety thresholds, ensuring occupant safety and regulatory compliance.
Mold Testing
Mold testing identifies hazardous mold spores through surface and air sampling. Our certified inspectors analyze samples in local laboratories, detecting unsafe concentrations that may trigger allergies or respiratory issues. Results guide targeted remediation efforts to restore healthy indoor environments for residential and commercial properties.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
This comprehensive testing identifies pollutants like VOCs, allergens, and carbon monoxide. We assess humidity, ventilation, and contaminant sources to diagnose air quality issues. Post-remediation testing ensures solutions effectively reduce pollutants to safe levels, improving occupant health and comfort in residential and commercial spaces.
Termite Inspection
Our licensed inspectors examine properties for termite damage and active infestations. We assess structural integrity impacts and recommend treatment options to prevent further destruction. This service helps buyers and sellers address pest-related risks before real estate transactions close, protecting long-term property investments.

Our inspector, Eric, was phenomenal. The report could not have been more detailed and clear. As first time home-buyers, I felt like nothing was left unclear or without full explanation. I would recommend these folks to anyone, what an amazing team!
