RADON GAS ANALYSIS
Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally. It is tasteless, odorless and colorless. Radon is produced from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. There are several methods of testing radon in your home. We use electronic radon testing to give you a timely, and accurate reading of the radon levels. The electronic radon test takes 48 hours and requires certain guidelines to be followed. Radon is present in nearly all soils. Therefore, a homeowner should not be alarmed if the presence of radon is detected. There are levels of radon that are considered harmful and would require radon mitigation.
MOLD TESTING
Molds are fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. No one knows how many species of fungi exist, but estimates range from tens of thousands to perhaps three hundred thousand more. Molds grow best in warm, damp, and humid conditions, and spread and reproduce by making spores. Mold spores can survive harsh environmental conditions, such as dry conditions that do not support normal mold growth
SEPTIC INSPECTIONS
A properly working septic tank is critical to the longevity of a home's plumbing system. Full septic tanks, clogged drain field lines, saturated drain fields, and root infiltration; these can result in costly repairs and replacement of a septic system. Replacing a septic system can cost anywhere between $3,00 and $15,000. Our licensed septic inspector will check waste and sludge levels, debris filter for blockage, distribution box conditions, as well as drain field function and saturation. While many homeowners do not know when the septic system was last pumped and cleaned, it is recommended to have this service tank can alleviate the worry of unexpected backups. Should you want the septic system to be pumped at the time of inspection, we can provide the service as well.

We will walk you through the construction process, visit the site as often as requested and answer any questions you may have. We will observe the entire job site, inside and out on each visit. Many construction contractors are only looking for their "bottom line." This often comes at the expense of their customer. From foundations to final touch ups, we can provide you with peace of mind, knowing your project was completed using the best building practices.
PRE-DRYWALL INSPECTIONS
Pre-drywall or “Stage 2” inspections are completed when a brand new home is being built. This takes place once the home’s framing, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, and other critical systems are in place, but before drywall is installed. This inspection gives our licensed professionals the opportunity to carefully evaluate the structural framing, mechanical systems, fire-blocking, and safety features while they are still fully visible. Identifying issues at this stage helps ensure proper installation, code compliance, and long-term performance, providing homeowners with confidence that their new home is being built correctly before it’s sealed behind the walls.
BUILDER'S WARRANTY INSPECTIONS
Oftentimes after purchasing a newly built home, your builder will provide a one-year builder’s warranty. A builder’s warranty inspection is performed near the end of your new home’s one-year builder warranty period to document any defects or concerns before coverage expires. Our licensed inspectors carefully evaluate the home’s structural, mechanical, and safety components—to identify issues that may have developed during the first year of occupancy. This inspection provides homeowners with a detailed report to present to the builder, helping ensure that necessary repairs are addressed while the home is still under warranty.
PRE-LISTING INSPECTIONS
Want to get a jump start on listing your property? A pre-listing inspection is performed before putting your home on the market to give you a clear picture of its current condition. During this inspection, our licensed professionals evaluate the home’s major systems and components—such as the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—so that any concerns can be addressed in advance. By identifying potential issues before buyers do, homeowners can make informed repairs, avoid last-minute negotiations, and confidently present their home with greater transparency and market appeal.
SEPTIC PUMP-OUTS
A properly working septic tank is critical to the longevity of a home's plumbing system. Full septic tanks, clogged drain field lines, saturated drain fields, and root infiltration; these can result in costly repairs and replacement of a septic system. Replacing a septic system can cost anywhere between $3,00 and $15,000. Our licensed septic inspector will check waste and sludge levels, debris filter for blockage, distribution box conditions, as well as drain field function and saturation. While many homeowners do not know when the septic system was last pumped and cleaned, it is recommended to have this service tank can alleviate the worry of unexpected backups. Should you want the septic system to be pumped at the time of inspection, we can provide the service as well.
SEWER SCOPES
A sewer scope inspection is a specialized evaluation of a home’s main sewer line to identify potential blockages, damage, or defects that may not be visible during a standard home inspection. Using a high-resolution camera, our licensed inspector feeds a flexible scope through the sewer clean-out to examine the condition of the line from the house to the street or septic connection. This process allows us to detect root intrusion, cracks, clogs, or pipe deterioration that could lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed.

AIR QUALITY TESTING
An air quality test evaluates the indoor air of your home to detect contaminants that could affect health and comfort. Our licensed inspectors use a high-precision IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) sampling machine to collect one outdoor control sample and one indoor sample, providing a clear comparison of indoor versus outdoor air quality. Additional samples can also be taken if needed to pinpoint specific areas of concern. The test typically screens for impurities such as mold spores, pollen, dust, allergens, and airborne particulates, helping homeowners identify potential issues and take steps to improve the air they and their families breathe.
