Pre-Listing Inspection
Our Pre-Listing Inspection should be scheduled by interested home-sellers before a listing for the home is made. By comprehensively inspecting the home before it is shown, we can clue you in on potential issues that could make successful negotiations more difficult to attain. Since the listing hasn’t yet been published, you can make repairs as you see fit and otherwise prepare fordisclosing known issues to prospective buyers to avoid complications later during the negotiating process.

New Construction Inspection
In a new home, the quality of construction can vary from job site to job site, therefore many buyers have independent reviews of their construction before closing. This relatively inexpensive inspection protects your purchase, prevents unpleasant surprises, and ensures the quality home before a final purchase.

Radon Testing
Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas the you can't see, smell, or taste. Its presence in you home can pose danger to your family's health. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and second leading cause of lung cancer in America. The U.S. Surgeon General and EPA recommend that all homes be tested for the presence of radon. We use electronic measuring devices that are placed on the lowest level of the residence for at least 48 hours, with the results being available at the end of the test.

Termite Inspections
Termites are one of the most common of all the wood destroying insects. They pose no direct threat to humans or animals and don't transmit disease. However, they are dangerous pests due to the structural damage they can cause and the results can be very expensive if left untreated. When termites enter structures, they do so silently and without warning. They may not be easily noticeable and are extremely popular under buildings where a homeowner does not often visit. We schedule and utilize a local pest control company who performs the inspection in conjunction with the home inspection. We will provide the Wood Destroying Inspect Report (WDIR) when we send the home inspection report. |
Mold & Air Quality Testing Inspections
Mold growth is generally the result of moisture caused by water leaks, continuous moisture seepage, and/or elevated humidity. Mold can be damaging to the building's structural components resulting in very expensive repairs and can also affect a person's health. The mold type and its potential health effects can only be validated by mold testing. Air quality testing is the best way to identify if an elevated mold condition exists within a building. An elevated mold condition can exist even when mold growth is not visibly seen and can often go untreated. Inspections include an examination of the dwelling for visible mold growth and conditions that are conductive to mold growth and/or the reduction of air quality. Mold and/or air quality samples are sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Clients receive the lab report and separate company report with photos (if applicable) and recommendations. |
Sewer Scope Inspections
One of the most inconvenient and costly repairs a homeowner can face is the failure of the main drain line connecting the home drain lines to the sewer or septic tank. These repairs can easily run in the thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, the main drain is underground and not visible- thus outside the scope of a standard home inspection. We feel that sewer line issues are simply too important to ignore. A professional inspector will inspect the sewer line of your home by inserting a high-definition camera into the line and guiding it through accessible portions. The access point is typically an exterior clean-out but a drain line scope can also be performed from a roof vent. Using this camera, the inspector will perform a comprehensive inspection of the sewer line, looking for things like cracks, damage to the lines, roots that have grown through the pipe, and any other potential concerns. Your inspector will tell you what they have found, and provide you with a comprehensive, written report about the sewer line’s condition with a video from the inspection. |
Pool and Spa Inspections
Pools and Spas are an extremely important part of the inspection if your new home has one. Maintenance will be required on these going forward, and knowing that the pool is in good condition prior to purchase can make a large difference in the final price you pay for the home. |
