Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all accessible components from roof to foundation. We examine electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, structural elements, and lot conditions to identify major defects. Clients receive detailed reports with digital photographs and repair recommendations to support informed real estate decisions.
4-Point Inspection
This specialized inspection focuses on four critical systems required by insurance companies: roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. We assess the condition and age of these components to determine insurability for older properties, providing documentation that meets carrier requirements while identifying potential safety concerns.
Wind Mitigation
Our wind mitigation inspections identify hurricane-resistant construction features including roof-to-wall attachments, secondary water barriers, and opening protections. We document construction methods that qualify for insurance discounts while assessing structural vulnerabilities to improve property resilience against storm damage.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-compliant radon testing to measure this cancer-causing gas's concentration in residential properties. Our certified specialists use continuous monitoring devices to provide accurate readings, explaining mitigation options when elevated levels exceed recommended safety thresholds for indoor air quality.
WDO Inspection
Wood Destroying Organism inspections identify termite activity, fungal decay, and other pest-related damage. We examine structural components for active infestations and conditions conducive to future problems, providing documentation required for VA/USDA loans while recommending preventive maintenance strategies.
