Termite Inspections
Termite inspections prevent damage caused by infestations. A technician checks for signs of termite activity such as damage, mud tubes, and droppings. After the inspection, a detailed report will identify issues and recommend action.
Radon Testing
Radon testing identifies harmful levels of the colorless, odorless gas in indoor environments. It seeps into buildings via cracks in walls or foundation, posing a serious health risk, including lung cancer. Continuous monitoring equipment is left in place for a minimum of 48-hours and results are sent upon test completion
Well Water Testing
Our professional well water testing service analyzes pH levels, iron content, bacterial contamination, and mineral deposits to ensure safe, clean water. Fast, reliable, and affordable, we provide accurate results and customized reports with recommendations for treatment, repairs, and maintenance.
Air Quality Testing
Air quality testing measures indoor air quality and identifies pollutants such as mold spores, and allergens. Providers recommend ways to improve air quality, regular testing can reduce illness risk and benefit allergy sufferers.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
Pre-drywall inspections ensure that electrical, plumbing, and structural components are correctly installed before drywall is applied, helping to identify and rectify issues early in the construction process. This can be a stand-alone service or part of an inspection bundle package.
Infrared Scanning
This helps identify areas of water intrusion, leaks, electrical, hvac and insulation issues. This is added onto an inspection and not a stand-alone service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.
A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-3 hours.
Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.
While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major repairs. He or she can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could decrease the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.
