Our comprehensive home inspections examine structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roof condition. Licensed inspectors identify safety concerns and maintenance needs while providing clear photographic documentation. Clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations to support informed real estate decisions.
4 Point Insurance Inspection
This specialized inspection evaluates key systems (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC) required for insurance underwriting. We identify potential risks and code violations that might affect policy approval or premiums. Our reports help property owners secure appropriate coverage with documented system conditions.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
We assess properties for wind-resistant construction features that qualify for insurance discounts. Our certified inspectors verify roof attachments, opening protections, and building envelope integrity. Documentation includes photographic evidence and official certification for policyholders.
Radon Testing
Professional radon level measurement using continuous monitoring equipment. We identify elevated radon concentrations that could pose health risks and provide mitigation recommendations. Testing follows EPA protocols with documented results for real estate transactions or home safety assessments.
