Services
Residential Home Inspection
Our residential home inspections evaluate all major systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and foundation. Using InterNACHI standards, we identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and costly defects. Clients receive a comprehensive digital report with photos and repair recommendations within hours of inspection completion.
Infrared Thermography
This service detects hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and energy inefficiencies using thermal imaging cameras. Certified thermographers analyze temperature differences to identify issues invisible to the naked eye. The technology helps prevent water damage, fire risks, and high utility bills through early problem detection in residential and commercial properties.
Mold Inspection
Certified inspectors perform visual assessments and collect air samples following IAC2 protocols. We identify moisture sources, visible mold growth, and conditions conducive to mold development. Laboratory analysis confirms mold types while reports provide remediation guidance. Services cover attics, basements, and other high-risk areas in residential and commercial buildings.
Radon Gas Testing
We conduct long-term radon testing using digital monitors that track gas levels over 90+ days. Results show average concentrations and peak levels to assess health risks. Certified inspectors place devices in optimal locations following EPA protocols. Reports include mitigation recommendations when readings exceed safe thresholds in residential and commercial properties.
Drone Roof Inspection
Drone inspections provide high-resolution imaging of roofs, chimneys, and gutters without ladders or physical contact. Certified pilots capture detailed footage to identify shingle damage, flashing issues, and drainage problems. The service reduces safety risks while providing comprehensive roof condition analysis for residential and commercial property owners.
