A detailed, visual, and easy-to-read report complete with digital photo’s and video along with recommendations for maintenance and repair.
Light Commercial Inspection
Homeowner Maintenance
This inspection is similar to a pre-purchase inspection but with no intent on selling your property. During this type of inspection, we will walk through the home to point out any problem areas. This is a great chance to ask questions and get clarification on certain property details. This type of inspection allows you to stop any issues from becoming worse. Oftentimes, homeowners deal with costly repairs because they don’t see a problem until it has created serious damages.
Mold Inspection
Mold growth in the home can cause serious structural damage and pose a threat to human health. We check for hidden mold growth using specialized equipment to collect air samples and surface testing. We will also give you recommendations for the best course of remediation if needed.
Pool & Spa Inspections
Professional pool and spa inspection provides a detailed report on the current condition of the pool and checks for safety issues, including for pool interior, pool lighting, tile and deck, and pool equipment such as pumps, filters, heater, and other accessories. This helps home buyers and owners address issues early before they become larger expenses.
Radon Testing
Radon is an odorless, colorless, and naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause serious health issues over time. It is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and is only detectable through testing. We us state-of-the-art equipment to check radon levels in the home, which can be mitigated once identified.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is an advanced tool we use with every inspection that captures images of temperature variations, offering valuable insights for detecting energy waste in HVAC system, heat leaks in buildings, and overloaded electrical circuits. Our product has state-of-the-art features that captures high-resolution images beyond the naked eye and gets us the answers you need!
Drone Aerial Inspections
Drones offer safe, fast, cost-effective inspections for buildings, infrastructure, and large assets. They can capture inaccessible angles without the use of scaffolding or ladders. Drones are also excellent for roof inspections when roofing material is metal, tile, slate, or shake. They are also invaluable when the pitch is too steep or dangerous to walk or when inspecting chimney tops. We use state-of-the-art equipment on every job!
PRE-DYWALL INSPECTION
Having a new-build home inspected during the building process can help catch health and safety issues early and reduce headaches and expenses down the line. A Pre-Drywall inspection will provide a comprehensive check of the property prior to the drywall being installed, allowing the builder time to make repairs and home buyers to move forward with peace of mind.
Condo, Townhouse, Manufactured Home, & Duplex Inspection
Similar to a full home inspection, the home inspector reviews all visual aspects of all major systems and structural components of the home, as well as items specific to these types of home. Our experience in these types of homes, will give you the confidence needed to make an informed decision.
VERBAL CONSULTATION
A verbal consultation can be a valuable tool for a home buyer looking for a fast close, or for a multitude of other reasons. During a verbal consultation we will conduct an on-site consultation covering the major components of the home. This process will include a walk-through of the home with a verbal overview, tips for maintenance and repair, and a final debrief.
TERMITE INSPECTION / WDO
Many pests, such as termites, carpenter ants, or powder post beetles, damage to wood from the inside out – making signs of their infestation less visible. As a result, their presence can go undetected for years and quickly escalate. Therefore, early identification from a Pest Inspection can help protect a homeowner’s investment, potentially thousands of dollars in costly repairs.
Water Quality Testing
Water quality testing is the process of analyzing water samples to determine the presence and concentration of various substances.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can be found in soil and rocks. It can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation or other openings. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
Radon testing is the process of measuring the amount of radon in a home. There are two main types of radon tests: short-term tests and long-term tests.
Short-term tests are typically used to get an initial estimate of the radon level in a home. They are less expensive than long-term tests, but they are also less accurate. Short-term tests should be conducted for at least 48 hours.
Long-term tests are more accurate than short-term tests, but they are also more expensive. They should be conducted for at least 90 days.
The results of a radon test will tell you the radon level in your home. If the radon level is above the EPA’s recommended level of 4 pCi/L, you should take steps to reduce the radon level in your home.
There are a number of ways to reduce radon levels in a home. These include:
- Installing a radon mitigation system
- Sealing cracks in the foundation or other openings
- Improving ventilation
