Services
Residential Inspection
Our residential inspections evaluate structural, mechanical, and environmental systems in homes. We check foundations, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and potential hazards like mold. Clients receive detailed reports with photos and repair recommendations, ensuring transparency for buyers and sellers. Our process exceeds InterNACHI standards.
Commercial Inspection
Commercial inspections assess structural integrity, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems in commercial properties. We identify risks that could impact transactions or operations. Reports include actionable insights for pre-purchase, pre-lease, or maintenance decisions, ensuring clients understand property conditions.
Mold Inspection
Mold inspections identify growth risks through air quality testing and surface sampling. We evaluate moisture sources and provide remediation guidance. Our certified specialists use advanced techniques to ensure safe, healthy environments for residential and commercial properties.
Moisture Intrusion Analysis
Moisture intrusion analysis detects hidden water damage using thermal imaging and invasive probing. We assess stucco and EIFS systems for trapped moisture, documenting findings in detailed reports. Our phased approach ensures accurate diagnosis and repair recommendations for long-term solutions.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Thermal imaging identifies heat loss, insulation gaps, and moisture in walls. This non-invasive tool helps diagnose energy inefficiencies and structural issues. Reports highlight areas for improvement, enabling clients to enhance comfort and reduce energy costs.
