Our Services
Our home inspections are performed with great care and attention to detail.
Residential Inspections
Our residential inspections provide a comprehensive assessment of the condition and functionality of a home. Our experienced inspectors thoroughly examine various aspects of the property, including its structure, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and more. We aim to identify any potential issues or areas of concern, offering you valuable insights into the overall condition of the property before making a purchase or selling a home.
Sewer Scope Inspections
Our sewer scope inspections offer an in-depth evaluation of the sewer lines and plumbing system within a property. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we can visually inspect the sewer lines to identify any signs of damage, blockages, or potential problems. This service is crucial for homeowners, as hidden sewer issues can lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed. Our detailed reports will help you make informed decisions and ensure the integrity of the property's sewer system.
Thermal Imaging
Our thermal imaging service utilizes advanced infrared technology to detect and visualize temperature variations in a property. By capturing thermal images, we can identify areas of heat loss, insulation deficiencies, electrical hotspots, and potential moisture issues that may be invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive method helps us uncover hidden problems, enabling you to take proactive steps to improve energy efficiency, prevent damage, and enhance overall comfort within your home.
Radon Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes through the ground, posing potential health risks. Our radon testing service involves precise measurements to determine the radon levels within a property. We use advanced equipment to provide accurate results, and our knowledgeable experts can guide you through the process and recommend appropriate mitigation measures if necessary. Protecting your family's health is our top priority.

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 you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.
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 increase 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.
