Our Services
Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence.
As trained professionals we have has seen it all, and we'll provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable
consumer. Home owners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can
understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making
repairs. Our inspection services include:
Buyers Inspection In both new and older homes,
the best way to ensure that you are well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have us give you
a professional home inspection. We are trained to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked
by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention. See our Inspection Overview for more details.
Warranty Inspection for New Homes Most builders provide a one-year warranty
for new construction. Generally during this period of time the buyer develops a "punch list" of corrections for
the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent
to obtain our home inspectors list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will
be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal
down the road.
Environmental Hazards Our job as your professional home inspector is to alert
you, to the extent possible, to unknown problems and potential environmental hazards in your current or potential house. Ours
is a non-invasive visual inspection of your property which can alert you to possible problems. See our Environmental Hazards page for more information.
We inspect for these hazards:
- Radon: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soils, rock, and water throughout the U.S.
Radon is a threat to health because it tends to collect in homes, sometimes to very high concentrations. See Radon FAQ.
- Mold: There are many types of mold,
and none of them will grow without water or moisture. Molds can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially
toxic substances. See Mold FAQ.
- Asbestos: Asbestos material that crumbles
easily if sawed, scraped, or sanded into a powder is more likely to create a health hazard because it can be inhaled into
the lungs, increasing the risk of disease. See Asbestos FAQ.
- Lead: Lead is a highly toxic metal
that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes. In general, the older a home, the more likely it has
lead-based paint. See Lead FAQ.
