Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural components. With over 25 years of experience and 14,000+ completed inspections, we identify potential issues while providing clear, actionable recommendations. Our licensed inspectors follow strict standards to ensure accurate assessments for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals.
Radon Testing
We conduct professional radon testing using continuous monitoring equipment over 48-hour periods. As the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, radon requires accurate measurement through certified methods. Our EPA-recommended testing identifies dangerous gas levels in residential properties, providing detailed reports with mitigation recommendations when necessary.
Pest Inspections
Our certified pest inspections identify wood-destroying organisms and infestations that threaten property integrity. Conducted by experienced inspectors, these evaluations meet FHA, VA, and mortgage lender requirements. We provide immediate on-site reports documenting any evidence of pest activity and recommendations for treatment or prevention measures.
Municipal Inspections
We perform electrical inspections required by local governments and insurance providers for new installations or upgrades. Our certified inspectors ensure compliance with local building codes for services, additions, and pool installations. These inspections protect homeowners' insurance coverage and verify electrical systems meet safety standards.
Electrical Inspections
Our specialized electrical inspections assess residential wiring systems for safety and code compliance. Certified through the International Code Council, we evaluate components including service panels, outlets, and grounding systems. These inspections identify hazards while ensuring proper functionality for homeowners and insurance requirements.
