Services Offered
Pre-Listing
Sellers sometimes get a home inspection before listing their home to avoid surprises during the transaction.
Pre-Purchase
It’s likely the first chance you have to go inside the home since you made your offer. It’s also usually the last chance you’ll have until a final walkthrough.
Foundation Inspections
The procedure entails performing specific tasks such as looking for foundation cracks, damaged walls and floors, and other signs of trouble.
Radon Testing
Testing is the only way to know what level of the invisible, radioactive gas exists in your home. The EPA recommends installation of a mitigation system when high levels are detected.
Pool/Spa Inspection
Inspect for leaks in visible plumbing, check condition of the liner, check that pumps are working, ensure there is proper filtration, and more.

WHAT IS A HOME INSPECTION?
A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house. The client then uses the knowledge gained to make informed decisions about their pending real estate purchase. The home inspector describes the condition of the home at the time of inspection but does not guarantee future condition, efficiency, or life expectancy of systems or components.
WHAT DOES A HOME INSPECTION INCLUDE?
The standard home inspection report will cover the condition of the heating, central air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, roof, attic, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, foundation, basement, garage, and structural components. A report will be delivered to the client of the findings.
WHY DO I NEED A HOME INSPECTION?
To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you’ll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.
WHY DO I NEED RADON TESTING?
Radon is an invisible, radioactive gas that comes from the ground and it is the leading cause of lung cancer aside from smoking! Radon gas exists in every home and enters through cracks in the foundation. The EPA recommends installation of a mitigation system for homes with high levels of radon gas. The only way to know what level exists in your home is to have it tested. Make the safe choice today for you and your loved ones!
CAN I DO THE HOME INSPECTION MYSELF INSTEAD OF HIRING AN INSPECTOR?
Most home buyers find it difficult to remain completely unbiased and unemotional about the house they really want as this may have an effect on their judgment. It is best to obtain an impartial, third-party opinion by a professional.
CAN A HOME FAIL THE INSPECTION?
A home inspection does not pass or fail. It is an examination of the current condition of a house. It is not an appraisal or a code inspection. A home inspector will describe the home’s physical condition and indicate what components and systems may need major repair or replacement.
WHAT IF THE REPORT REVEALS PROBLEMS?
It doesn’t mean you should or should not buy the house. If your budget is tight, or if you don’t want to become involved in future repair work, this information will be important to you. If major problems are found, a seller may agree to make repairs.
