Residential Inspections
We conduct comprehensive evaluations of residential properties to identify structural and mechanical issues. Our licensed inspectors examine electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and foundation integrity. Clients receive detailed digital reports with actionable recommendations for maintaining property value.
Commercial Inspections
Our commercial inspections cover all critical systems in non-residential buildings. We assess structural soundness, safety compliance, and operational efficiency of mechanical systems. Businesses receive clear documentation to support informed decision-making for property investments.
Radon Testing
We perform EPA-certified radon testing to measure indoor air quality. Using specialized equipment, we detect harmful radon gas levels that could threaten occupant health. Test results come with expert guidance for mitigation when elevated levels are found.
Drinking Water Analysis
Our water quality testing identifies contaminants in private well systems. We check for bacteria, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants that could affect health. Clients receive laboratory-certified results with clear explanations of any detected issues.
Energy Efficiency Inspections
We evaluate building energy performance through thermal imaging and system analysis. Our assessment identifies air leaks, insulation deficiencies, and inefficient equipment. Recommendations help property owners reduce utility costs and improve comfort.

I was buying my first home and it just happened to be during the worst part of the pandemic. Adam took all the precautions and came right out to perform my inspection. The few issues he found were fixed saving me hassles and money. He was extremely professional and his work allowed me to close without issues and I'm in my dream home!
