Services
EIFS Inspections
Our certified inspectors conduct thorough examinations of EIFS and stucco wall systems to identify moisture intrusion, improper installation, or structural deterioration. Using specialized moisture meters and thermal imaging, we provide detailed reports with repair recommendations. This service helps property owners prevent costly damage through early detection of cladding system failures.
Asbestos Testing
We perform asbestos inspection and sampling in older residential and commercial properties. Our licensed technicians collect material samples following strict containment protocols and coordinate laboratory analysis. Clients receive comprehensive reports detailing asbestos-containing materials and abatement recommendations that comply with federal safety standards.
Mold Inspections
Our mold assessment service includes visual inspections, air quality sampling, and surface testing to identify mold presence and growth patterns. We use industry-standard equipment to measure spore concentrations and provide remediation guidance. This helps homeowners and contractors address moisture issues causing fungal growth in residential properties.
Home Inspections
We offer comprehensive home inspections covering structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC. Our reports highlight immediate safety concerns and maintenance needs. This service supports informed decision-making for home buyers, sellers, and real estate investors across multiple states.
Lead Testing
Our lead inspection service identifies lead-based paint hazards in pre-1978 residential properties. Using XRF testing equipment and laboratory analysis, we provide detailed findings on lead concentrations in paint, dust, and soil. Results include risk assessment and compliance guidance for property owners and contractors.
