Certified inspectors identify hidden issues while providing maintenance recommendations. We deliver detailed reports within 24 hours to support informed buying or selling decisions.

Our EPA-certified technicians perform short-term and long-term radon testing using advanced monitoring equipment. We explain test results clearly and recommend mitigation strategies when elevated levels are detected. Testing follows strict protocol to ensure accurate, defensible results.

I am a real estate agent and refer Todd and his team at Alert Inspections to all my buyers. He and his team are timely, professional, courteous, and very thorough. Todd takes his time reviewing the finished inspection report with the buyers and allows space for them to ask questions. I appreciate his honesty and integrity and would highly recommend him to all my clients, friends and family. Tami Huitsing - Anchor Realty

Great company altogether. Responsive, personable, and intelligent. I asked several questions, and he (Todd) always had an answer. I was told of a few issues with the house I bought, but also informed of how to fix them myself. He referred companies for me to work with if I couldn't fix them. If I buy again anytime soon, I'll be using Alert.

Todd Moelker and his team are the best in the business. His experience as a builder sets him apart from others. He and his team are very thorough and they go above and beyond to explain to the buyer what they have discovered during inspections. As a buyers agent, I have peace of mind knowing that my buyers are getting an excellent inspector (team) whose integrity and the thoroughness of the report is top priority. I highly recommend him and his team.

Don't use this company. They missed major issues with my home and downplayed the ones they pointed out. The owner even offered a $200 check if I signed a paper saying I wouldn't go after him for the huge hole that was missed in my roof along with the other leak they missed. Now I need to replace my roof along with a bunch of other things after just buying my house...

I was left frustrated and unsatisfied with the items that they missed in their report, which were identified weeks after we closed on our home. Instead of accepting responsibility and saying sorry they simply said it wasnt industry standards to notify you of asbestos in clear daylight.

I had a great experience working with the team. I am looking for my frist home and it is an overwhelming experience, but I can be sure that the home inspection will be accurate, comprehensive and truthful. I have no doubts that inspection preformed was the best work they are capable of. I will continue to call upon them for future inspections and will gladly refer them to others. Thanks!!
