Our Home Inspection Services

Buyer’s Home Inspection

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make. Our Buyer’s Home Inspection provides a detailed evaluation of the property’s major systems and components so you can move forward with confidence.

Best for: Home buyers, first-time buyers, and investors
Goal: Identify defects, safety issues, and future maintenance concerns before closing

Pre-Listing Inspection

A Pre-Listing Inspection helps sellers understand their home’s condition before putting it on the market. This proactive step allows you to address issues early, avoid last-minute surprises, and build buyer trust.



Our clear reports help sellers and realtors price the home accurately and reduce negotiation stress.

Best for: Home sellers and listing agents
Goal: Fewer surprises, smoother transactions, and stronger buyer confidence

New Construction Inspection

Even brand-new homes can have defects. Our New Construction Inspections ensure your home is built according to standards and free from installation errors or overlooked issues.

Goal: Catch construction defects early and protect your investment

Before your builder’s warranty expires, schedule an 11-Month Warranty Inspection to identify issues that should be repaired at the builder’s expense.

We inspect the home thoroughly and provide a detailed report you can submit to your builder, helping you avoid paying out of pocket later.

Best for: Homeowners with new construction
Goal: Identify warranty-covered issues before the deadline

Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection

Wood Destroying Organisms, such as termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and fungi, can cause serious structural damage to homes if left undetected. A WDO inspection helps identify signs of infestation or damage in wooden structural components throughout the property.

During this inspection, our team carefully examines accessible areas of the home, including crawlspaces, basements, framing, and exterior wood structures, for evidence of activity or conditions that could attract wood-destroying pests. Early detection is essential because these organisms often work quietly behind walls and under flooring for months or even years before visible damage appears.

A WDO inspection is commonly required during many real estate transactions and can provide buyers and sellers with peace of mind about the structural integrity of the property.

Mold Sampling (Air & Surface Testing)

Indoor mold growth can affect both the condition of the home and the health of its occupants. Our Mold Sampling service includes both air testing and surface testing to identify potential mold issues within the property.

Air samples help measure the concentration of mold spores in the indoor environment and compare them to outdoor levels, while surface samples can identify mold growth on specific materials or areas within the home. These tests are performed using professional sampling methods and analyzed by a certified laboratory.

Mold sampling can be particularly helpful if:

• There are visible signs of mold or moisture damage
• The home has experienced past water intrusion or flooding
• Occupants are experiencing unexplained allergy or respiratory symptoms
• A buyer wants additional assurance about indoor air quality

Our reports clearly explain the results so you can understand whether further remediation or moisture control may be necessary.

Water Testing

Clean, safe drinking water is essential for any household. Our Water Testing service evaluates the quality of the water supply, especially for homes that rely on private wells or have concerns about water contamination.

Water samples are collected and analyzed to identify potential contaminants such as bacteria, minerals, and other substances that may affect safety, taste, odor, or plumbing systems. Testing can reveal issues that are not visible or detectable without laboratory analysis.

Water testing is especially recommended for:

• Homes with private well systems
• Properties in rural areas
• Homes with older plumbing systems
• Buyers who want assurance about water safety before purchasing

The results provide valuable insight into whether treatment systems, filtration, or further investigation may be needed.

Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can pose serious health risks. Our Radon Testing services accurately measure radon levels in your home and provide clear results you can understand.

If elevated levels are found, we’ll explain what it means and what steps you can take next.

Best for: Buyers, sellers, and homeowners
Goal: Ensure a safe and healthy living environment

Sewer Scope Inspection

Many of the most costly problems in a home occur underground and out of sight, particularly within the sewer line connecting the house to the municipal system or septic system. A Sewer Scope Inspection uses a specialized waterproof camera inserted into the sewer line to visually inspect the condition of the pipe.

This inspection can reveal issues such as:

• Tree root intrusion
• Pipe cracks or breaks
• Blockages or buildup
• Corrosion or deterioration in older pipes
• Improper pipe installation or alignment

Because sewer line repairs or replacements can be extremely expensive, a sewer scope inspection is a valuable service for buyers who want to avoid unexpected costs after moving into a home.

Why Add Ancillary Services?

While a traditional home inspection provides a broad evaluation of the property, ancillary services add another level of detail and protection. They allow us to investigate specific concerns that may not be fully visible during a general inspection.

By combining these services with your home inspection, you gain:

• More detailed insight into potential hidden issues
• Additional protection before purchasing a property
• Better understanding of long-term maintenance risks
• Greater confidence in your real estate decisions
