FAQs
A home inspection gives you a clear understanding of the property’s condition — from roof to foundation. It helps identify safety concerns, needed repairs, and maintenance priorities before you buy, sell, or invest.
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that forms naturally in soil. It’s the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The only way to know your radon level is to test.
Typical systems for basements or slab foundations cost $1,200–$3,000. Crawlspace systems may cost more due to extra materials and labor.
Most full inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on the home’s size, age, and condition. Reports are delivered within 24 hours.
The EPA recommends taking action if your home’s radon level is 4.0 pCi/L or higher. Mitigation systems can reduce levels by up to 99%.
Mold and poor air quality can affect your family’s health and comfort. Testing identifies hidden issues, allergens, or moisture sources before they become serious.
Encapsulation seals the crawl space with a vapor barrier to prevent moisture, radon, and mold. It improves energy efficiency, air quality, and home comfort.
Yes — city water can still carry lead, chlorine, or bacteria through old pipes. Testing ensures your drinking water is safe and your plumbing system is healthy.
Retest every 2–3 years, or after major renovations, fan replacements, or foundation changes.
We’re licensed, insured, and locally owned — providing inspections, radon testing, mitigation, mold, water, and air-quality services all under one roof.
Our goal: Inspect. Detect. Protect.
Home Inspection
● Ensure easy access to attics, electrical panels, and major appliances including HVAC and water heater. Inspectors cannot move stored items, shelving units, parked cars, or other personal property.
● Full home inspections take approximately 3 hours. Findings are usually shared during the last 30 minutes, though times may vary depending on home size and condition.
Other Home Services:
Radon Testing
● Keep doors closed for 12 hours prior to arrival and throughout the 48-hour test. Keep doors closed for 12 hours prior to arrival and throughout the 48-hour test. A “non-interference form” required by the state must be signed.
Sewer Scopes
● Ensure all drains or clean-outs are accessible, typically in the basement, utility room, or crawl space. If you know the clean-out location, please share it in advance.
Water Testing
● Do not flush or rinse plumbing; leave the system undisturbed to ensure a reliable “first-draw” sample. For well water, ensure the wellhead, pressure tank, and treatment systems are accessible. Inform us if your home uses water softeners, reverse osmosis, UV systems, or other filters to determine the correct sampling location.
Indoor Air Quality / Mold Testing
● Keep all windows and exterior doors closed for 12 hours prior to arrival. Turn off air purifiers, ozone generators, or ionizers the day before testing.
Chimney Scan
● Ensure the fireplace or stove has not been used within 24 hours prior to inspection. Remove excess ash, firewood, or debris from the firebox. Move furniture, décor, or rugs at least 3–4 feet away from the fireplace area, as inspectors cannot move personal property for insurance reasons.
Inaccessible areas may require a return visit, adding time and cost to the home service process.
