Home Inspections
Our home inspections evaluate over 500 property components, including structural integrity, electrical systems, and HVAC performance. Certified inspectors use thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect hidden issues. Clients receive digital reports with photo documentation and repair recommendations within hours of completion.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-recognized radon testing using continuous monitoring devices for accurate 48-hour results. Our certified technicians identify entry points and mitigation needs. Reports include actionable steps to reduce radon levels, ensuring safe indoor air quality for homeowners and families.
Pest Control
Our WDI-certified inspections identify wood-destroying organisms like termites and carpenter ants. We provide treatment recommendations and prevention strategies. Pest reports meet lending institution requirements and include photographic evidence of infestation areas.
Sewer Scope
Using high-resolution cameras, we inspect sewer lines for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. Real-time video shows pipe condition and repair needs. Clients receive digital video files and written summaries to address potential drainage issues before closing.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared thermography detects temperature anomalies indicating moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, or insulation gaps. This non-invasive technology identifies hidden problems in walls, ceilings, and mechanical systems without damaging property finishes.
