PRE-LISTING INSPECTION
This is an inspection service that should be scheduled before you put your home on the market. We’ll inspect the readily accessible areas of the property from top to bottom, including exterior areas to determine if there are issues related to grading and drainage. Having this knowledge before you make the listing gives you a chance to have issues corrected and to communicate accurately with prospective buyers so that negotiations can proceed much more smoothly.
NEW CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION
Prior to the builder’s final walkthrough of a recently constructed home, we can provide a professional third-party inspection to make sure that the home is ready for final closing. We’ll inspect most readily accessible areas, looking carefully for any defects that you as a buyer need to know about so that you can request for repairs or other changes before agreeing to the terms of purchase.
HOME MAINTENANCE INSPECTION
For this inspection service, we’ll comprehensively inspect your current home to help you determine the best course of action for performing home maintenance. We’ll compile a full inspection report that will include information about existing defects and emergent issues, explaining precisely what needs to be done in order to keep the home properly maintained at the present time.
RE-INSPECTIONS
This inspection service is a follow-up to a general home inspection that resulted in the discovery of safety concerns, material defects, or other issues that the seller agreed to have addressed before the sale of the home is final. Once you’ve been notified that those issues have been taken care of, we’ll return to the property to confirm—looking back over the components in question to ensure that no additional work is needed
RADON TESTING
When levels of radon exceed a safe threshold in a home, it can be a big deal for residents. Radon is a naturally occurring gas that sometimes enters home through structural cracks and gaps, and it’s a gas that is completely odorless and invisible. Due to radon’s carcinogenic properties, it’s important to have a home tested before you buy to ensure that the radon levels are low or non-existent.
WELL WATER TESTS
This is an inspection service that should be scheduled before you put your home on the market. We’ll inspect the readily accessible areas of the property from top to bottom, including exterior areas to determine if there are issues related to grading and drainage. Having this knowledge before you make the listing gives you a chance to have issues corrected and to communicate accurately with prospective buyers so that negotiations can proceed much more smoothly.
