Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential safety hazards. Certified inspectors follow ASHI standards to identify issues affecting property value. Clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations for buyers and sellers.
Mold Testing
Professional mold inspections include air sampling and moisture analysis to detect hidden contamination. We use lab-certified methods to quantify airborne spores and identify moisture sources. Reports provide clear guidance for remediation while maintaining strict independence from remediation services.
Thermal Imaging
Non-invasive thermal imaging detects moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and energy inefficiencies. Our Level 1 certified thermographers use FLIR technology to visualize temperature differences. This identifies hidden problems in walls, roofs, and electrical systems without destructive testing.
Drone Services
FAA-certified pilots conduct roof inspections and construction documentation using high-resolution drone imaging. We create orthomosaic maps and progress videos for commercial projects. Services include distance measurements and real estate marketing content creation.
Commercial Inspections
Specialized inspections for light commercial properties assess structural components and mechanical systems. We identify maintenance needs and safety compliance issues. Reports help business owners protect investments and plan capital expenditures.
