Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and safety features. Certified inspectors use advanced tools to identify maintenance needs and safety hazards. Reports include digital documentation and prioritized repair recommendations for informed real estate decisions.
Mold Testing
Specialized mold inspections identify hidden moisture issues and airborne contaminants. We use laboratory analysis to determine mold types and concentrations. Findings are presented with remediation guidance to protect occupant health and property value.
Radon Testing
Continuous radon monitoring provides accurate 48-hour test results. Our EPA-qualified technicians measure radon levels in basements and living areas. Reports include mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected to ensure safe indoor environments.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Pre-market inspections help sellers identify repair needs before listing. This proactive approach reduces negotiation delays and increases buyer confidence by addressing potential deal-breakers prior to sale agreements.
Pest Inspections
Visual inspections identify termite damage, wood-destroying organisms, and pest entry points. We document active infestations and provide treatment recommendations to prevent structural damage and maintain property value.
