Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems from roof to foundation. Using specialized equipment, we identify structural issues, electrical hazards, plumbing leaks, and HVAC deficiencies. Our detailed reports include photographic evidence and repair recommendations to help clients make informed decisions.
Mold Testing
Certified inspectors perform mold testing using advanced moisture detection equipment. We collect air samples for laboratory analysis and provide clear reports explaining mold types and potential health implications. Our non-remediation approach ensures unbiased assessments of indoor air quality.
Radon Testing
We conduct EPA-approved radon testing using digital continuous monitors. This service identifies dangerous radon levels that could pose health risks. Our reports explain test results and recommend mitigation solutions when elevated radon concentrations are detected in residential properties.
Sewer Inspections
Video camera inspections of main sewer lines identify tree root intrusions, pipe cracks, and blockages. This service reveals potential $2,500+ repair issues before they become emergencies. We provide visual documentation and repair cost estimates for sewer system evaluations.
Thermal Imaging
FLIR E8 infrared cameras detect hidden leaks, missing insulation, and electrical hotspots invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technology prevents destructive wall probing while identifying energy efficiency issues and moisture intrusion points during property assessments.
