Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections assess structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roof conditions. We identify safety hazards and maintenance needs to inform purchasing decisions. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence and repair recommendations.
Termite Inspection
Specialized termite inspections detect active infestations and wood damage. We examine foundations, crawl spaces, and wooden structures for signs of termites. Reports include treatment options and prevention strategies to protect property investments.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing using continuous monitoring equipment. Results above 4.0 pCi/L trigger recommendations for mitigation systems. Our special promotion offers discounted testing for first-time clients.
Well Water Testing
Basic and standard water profiles test for bacteria, heavy metals, and chemical contaminants. We analyze samples for coliform, E. coli, arsenic, and uranium. Results help ensure safe drinking water and identify treatment needs.
Crumbling Foundation Inspection
Visual inspections identify pyrrhotite-related concrete deterioration. We assess cracking patterns and provide severity ratings. For definitive analysis, we recommend core sampling to confirm reactive aggregate presence in Connecticut foundations.

Questions
What does a home inspection cover?
Our inspections evaluate structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roofs, and potential safety hazards. We provide detailed reports with repair recommendations.
How much does a termite inspection cost?
Termite inspection pricing varies by property size. Contact us for a customized quote, with discounts available for bundled services.
Why test for radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that causes lung cancer. Testing identifies dangerous levels above 4.0 pCi/L, prompting mitigation system installation when necessary.
Do you inspect well water quality?
Yes, we offer basic and standard water testing packages to detect bacteria, heavy metals, and chemical contaminants in private well water supplies.
How long does an inspection take?
Home inspections typically require 2-3 hours depending on property size and complexity. Additional testing for radon or water extends the process by 1-2 hours.
