A moisture meter may be utilized during the inspection at no extra cost to determine the extent of suspected moisture intrusion within the home.
Radon Testing
Radon contamination inside a home is not an issue that should be taken lightly, and every prospective homebuyer stands to benefit from this inspection service. Radon is an odorless and invisible gas with verified cancer-causing properties that can occur when people are exposed to high concentrations. The gas forms naturally underground, and from there it can rise into homes undetected—so to be on the safe side, it’s important to bring in a professional to test a home before making an investment.
Water Testing
The purpose of this inspection service is to test the safety and quality of a home’s water supply. We’ll take a sample from the home’s tap to be tested at a local lab for contaminants such as heavy metals, coliform bacteria, and other pathogenic bacteria.
Re-Inspections
Your peace of mind is always a priority for us, and that’s why we offer Re-Inspections in the event that an issue with a home’s structures or systems is discovered when we first inspect the home. When the necessary repairs or other corrections are in place, we’ll come back to the property to look things over, ensuring that the original issues is taken care of so that you can move forward with a decision.
Pre-Listing Inspection
We can also perform inspections for interested clients who are preparing to sell a home they already own. We’ll comprehensively evaluate the property’s readily accessible areas so that you can have knowledge of existing issues before you make a listing. You can then determine if it’s worthwhile to arrange repairs before showing the home—and you’ll be able to inform prospective buyers of our findings so that their own inspection doesn’t disrupt smooth negotiations.
Home Maintenance Inspection
This inspection service is for current homeowners who would like professional guidance regarding their home’s maintenance needs. We’ll thoroughly inspect the home’s ready accessible components, taking note of what needs repaired, replaced, or improved. This information will then be relayed to you along with other recommended strategies for properly maintaining the home’s condition.
New Construction Inspection
This inspection service should be performed once your new home has been built and the builder is preparing to schedule a final walkthrough. We’ll come in before that final walkthrough to ensure that you have an unbiased assessment of the property—identifying potential issues that the building contractors should see corrected before you close on the home.
