Services
Home Inspection
Our home inspections provide a comprehensive assessment of residential properties. We examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and identify safety hazards. Clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations to support informed buying or selling decisions.
Mold Testing
We conduct mold inspections using IESO standards for accurate detection. Our process includes surface and air sampling to identify mold types and concentrations. Results help homeowners address potential health risks and remediation needs in moisture-affected properties.
Radon Detection
Our radon inspections use state-of-the-art EPERM technology for precise measurements. We follow EPA guidelines to assess radon levels over 48-hour testing periods. Reports include risk assessments and mitigation recommendations to reduce lung cancer risks in high-radon areas.
Well Water Analysis
We test private well water for bacteria, chemicals, heavy metals, and toxins. Our inspections ensure safe drinking water by identifying contaminants that affect health. Results include actionable steps for treatment or filtration system recommendations.
Commercial Inspection
Our commercial inspections assess properties for investors and property managers. We evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, and compliance issues. Detailed reports help clients determine property value and negotiate favorable acquisition or lease terms.
