Services
Home Inspection
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC. We identify current issues and potential problems while providing maintenance recommendations. The inspection includes a detailed electronic report with digital photographs and prioritized repair suggestions.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging detects temperature variations that reveal hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies. This non-invasive technology complements standard inspections by identifying issues not visible to the naked eye. Results are integrated into our comprehensive inspection reports.
Mold Testing
We conduct professional mold testing to identify hidden mold growth and airborne spores. The service includes air sampling and surface testing with laboratory analysis. Results help address health concerns and remediation needs while being documented in our detailed inspection reports.
Drone Services
Drone inspections provide detailed roof and chimney assessments without physical access risks. High-resolution imaging captures hard-to-reach areas while maintaining safety standards. This technology enhances our ability to deliver thorough property evaluations.
Radon Testing
We offer long-term radon testing using certified measurement devices. The service identifies radon gas concentrations in indoor air to assess health risks. Testing follows industry protocols with results reported in clear, actionable formats.
