Our Services for you
Before you buy a home, one of the things you should do is to have the home checked out by a professional home inspector. Buying a home is expensive enough as
it is - why would you choose to fork over another $400 or even more if you're not required to? In this article, we'll delve into what a home inspection can reveal and
why you shouldn't forgo this optional procedure.

Full Home Inspection
Inspectors vary in experience, ability
and thoroughness, but a good
inspector should examine certain
components of the home you want to
purchase and then produce a report
covering his or her findings. The typical
inspection lasts two to three hours and
you should be present for the
inspection to get a firsthand
explanation of the inspector's findings
and, if necessary, ask questions. Also,
any problems the inspector uncovers
will make more sense if you see them
in person instead of relying solely on
the snapshot photos in the report.

Radon Testing
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (US EPA) and the Surgeon
General's Office have estimated that as
many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are
caused each year by radon. Radon is
the second leading cause of lung
cancer. Radon-induced lung cancer
costs the United States over $2 billion
dollars per year in both direct and
indirect health care costs. (Based on
National Cancer Institute statistics of
14,400 annual radon lung cancer
deaths - Oster, Colditz & Kelley, 1984)

Thermal Imaging
Infrared (thermal imaging) is an
advanced, non-invasive technology
that allows the inspector to show
homeowners things about their homes
that can't be revealed using
conventional inspection methods.
Ancillary inspection reports are just as
important as the reports you generate
for standard home inspections.

Drone Inspection
Drones provide a way to inspect roofs
that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Often, a roof is inaccessible when it is
too high, too steep, or too wet to
safely access. Additionally, certain
roofing materials, such as clay tile, or
significant amounts of wear may
inhibit an inspector from traversing
the roof. Drones can also provide a
perfect way to get up close to
chimneys or other hard to inspect
aspects of a roof.

Water Testing
Over 15 million households in the U.S.
depend on private wells to supply their
drinking water. Unfortunately, many of
those homeowners underestimate the
importance of water testing. Because
homeowners are responsible for
having their water testing done, many
often neglect this important task.
Thereby putting their health and safety
at risk.
