Our inspection and testing services include:Home InspectionsA home inspection can play an important role in the home buying or building process. Our home inspection services are competitively priced and will help you gain a better understanding of what condition your potential home is in. Our goal is to provide you with an unbiased, independent, visual inspection that evaluates a variety of factors that can turn into costly repairs down the line. The inspection is of the interior and exterior of the house from the foundation to roof. After the inspection, we will go through the findings with you. You will receive a comprehensive report for your records, which can help you make a more informed decision about purchasing your new home.Pre-Offer / Pre-Closing InspectionsThis type of inspection is booked prior to closing on either a new or existing house. Often referred to a general home inspection, the inspection evaluates hundreds of components and factors in a home. Once the inspection is complete, we provide our customer with a comprehensive written report which outlines the current condition of the home, as well as any safety concerns. This report can help guide your decision whether or not to buy the house, as well as prepare for future maintenance costs.Warranty InspectionsIf you have built a brand new home, most builders will provide you with a 12-month Builders Warranty. To address an issues before your warranty expires, you can order a home inspection. The resulting report gives you a list of issues to address with your builder, and can give you a peace of mind regardless of if your home needs repairs or not.Pre-Listing InspectionsIf you are putting your house on the market, conducting a pre-listing inspection can help you gain an idea of what maintenance your home requires. This can also add a level of transparency to the process, as the major systems in the house have already been inspected by an independent home inspector. This may help reduce the amount of time you and your prospective buyer spend negotiating prices for your house, which can help maximize your profit.Foreclosure InspectionsIf you are considering buying a foreclosed home, you should hire an independent home inspector to examine and review the property before you purchase the home. The process for inspecting a foreclosed home is no different than a general home inspection. However, it is especially important to have the house inspected, as it can reveal structural defects, degraded conditions, and give you an idea of the types of repairs you will have to perform upon purchasing the property.Mold TestingTo ensure the safety of you and your family in your new home, it is recommended you have mold testing conducted as part of the property assessment. During this process, we inspect your home for visible signs of mold and take indoor and outdoor air samples. While visual inspections are important, an air quality test is a much better indicator of mold growth. Once the air quality test is sent to the lab and we receive the results, we will explain the findings. If your home has mold present, we will make recommendations for remediation.Lead Based Paint TestingIf you are looking to buy an older house, we can perform a lead paint inspection and determine if your home contains this hazardous substance. Lead-based paint was used in many older homes and is often found in dust, soil, or the paint instead. If your home has lead paint, we will determine how hazardous it is to you or your childrens health, and make recommendations for lead abatement.Asbestos TestingLike lead paint, asbestos is a material that was widely used in the past due to its effectiveness and low cost to manufacture. It is widely banned today due to resulting health concerns such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. If you are looking to buy, sell, or renovate a home that was built before 1980, and suspect asbestos was used in its construction, we can test for the presence of asbestos, without...
