Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine all major systems and structural components. Certified inspectors identify potential issues with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and foundation elements. Reports include detailed findings to help buyers or sellers make informed real estate decisions.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing measures dangerous radon gas levels in residential properties. We use advanced detection methods to assess indoor air quality and provide lab-certified results. Testing includes water samples and granite countertop analysis when requested.
Mold Sampling
Mold inspections identify visible growth and hidden moisture issues. We collect air and surface samples analyzed by local labs to detect mold types and concentrations. Results help determine remediation needs for healthier indoor environments.
Seller Consultations
Pre-sale home evaluations identify potential deal-breakers before listing. Inspectors highlight critical issues that could derail transactions, helping sellers address problems proactively and improve marketability of their properties.
Crawl Space Inspections
Specialized crawl space evaluations detect moisture intrusion, structural damage, and pest infestations. We assess insulation, vapor barriers, and support structures to identify costly repair needs often overlooked in standard inspections.
