Comprehensive home inspections are essential for ensuring the safety, efficiency, and overall value of your property. These thorough assessments provide a detailed evaluation of your property including homes, Duplex's, condos and townhouses.
Pre-Drywall Inspections verify that a home’s framing, wiring, plumbing, and insulation meet building codes before walls are sealed. This crucial check ensures structural integrity, prevents costly future repairs, and confirms proper installation of key systems.
Our new construction inspections verify that your home meets building codes and quality standards at key project milestones. We thoroughly assess structural, mechanical, and finishing work to ensure proper installation and craftsmanship.
Our builder’s warranty inspections verify that your newly constructed home meets all agreed-upon standards before your warranty expires. We thoroughly assess workmanship, materials, and systems to identify any defects or issues that require the builder’s attention.
Radon Testing: Ensuring a Safe Indoor Environment. Our comprehensive radon detection services identify potential health risks, empowering you to take proactive measures for your family's well-being.

A comprehensive septic inspection includes both visual and functional evaluations of the system. The goal is to determine whether the septic tank and components appear to be in good condition and are performing as intended. The inspection also includes locating the leach field (finger system), taking precise measurements, and marking the system layout on a satellite image of the property. This provides a clear visual reference so homeowners know the exact location of their septic system within the yard.
A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-3 hours.
Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.
While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major repairs. He or she can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.
