Services/Inspections

Drone Aerial Imaging

We use state-of-the-art, camera-mounted unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones to capture images of unsafe or hard-to-access areas, such as tall roofs. We can get an up-close look at any issues or defects that would otherwise not be properly inspected and reported.

Our Standard Home Inspection

We’ll inspect the structure, systems and components of the home, inside and out, from the foundation to the roof, using the latest tools and technology.We encourage you to attend your inspection so that we can describe our process, explain our findings, point out important maintenance items, and answer all of your questions.We adhere to a comprehensive Standards of Practice. This means that we will inspect all of the following, when visible and accessible:

Roof
Structural Components
Attic, Ventilation & Insulation
Exterior Cladding

Porch & Deck

Following our evaluation, we will compile our findings in an easy-to-read report, which will include detailed descriptions and high-resolution digital photos of any issues we’ve discovered. Your report will be delivered the same day, either via email or on a flash drive (or both), and our job isn’t finished until you understand everything in it.

Wood-Destroying Organism Inspection

Wood-destroying insects and other pests can cause serious damage to the wooden structural components of a house. We’ll inspect your home for evidence of infestation now before it becomes an expensive problem later.

Seller’s Pre-Listing Inspection

Are you selling your home? Let us inspect it before you even list it. A Move-In Certified Seller Inspection alerts you to any defects or problems with your home so that you can address them before prospective buyers discover them.

Pool & Spa Inspection

Pools and spas require proper maintenance and regular inspection so that you can enjoy them for years to come. Your pool maintenance professional is responsible only for their chemistry and cleanliness. We will inspect them for all the other items that will ensure their proper condition and function, as well as your family’s safety.

What I’ll Inspect in Your Pool & Spa

Private Well Inspection

We’ll check your private well for basic structural issues and take a water sample to test it for lead, microbial pollutants, and dangerous chemicals.

Lawn Sprinkler System Inspection

Let us inspect your system to make sure it’s operating as it should, ensuring your home’s integrity and your lawn’s health.

Septic System Inspection

We will conduct an inspection of your onsite wastewater (septic) treatment system, assess its overall condition and maintenance, test for functional operation, and advise you of our findings.

Commercial Inspection

A commercial property inspection is a complete written assessment of the structure and all of the visible problems.

STRUCTURE: The structural integrity of the building. Are there problems with the
structure to the point that perhaps we need to call in a structural engineer?
EXTERIOR: How is the cladding? The cladding is the exterior covering, usually
siding (vinyl or cement), brick, EIFS, stucco, or a combination of different materials.
How’s the drainage around the building? Are there tree limbs or roots causing
damage? Is there anything about the exterior that should be noted for repair?
ROOF: Besides the roofing material (shingles or other products), the roof inspection
includes the soffit, fascia board, attic – including insulation and ventilation – gutters,
and the bracing.
PLUMBING: Everything about the flow of water into or out of the building: Do the toilets flush properly? Does every faucet have hot and cold water without drips or leaks? Do they have reasonably adequate pressure?
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: What’s the service amperage? Do we see any signs of specific problems? Do breakers trip or the ground fault interrupters (GFCI’s) pop? Are there any burn marks or scorch marks on receptacles?
HEAT AND AIR: Does the air conditioner and the furnace function properly? The system is inspected for proper temperature differentials, visible signs of problems such as scorching, condensation stains, rust, disconnected ductwork, etc.
BUILT-IN EQUIPMENT OR APPLIANCES: This category includes kitchens, office refrigerators, and built-in stoves. These are checked and reported on.
INTERIOR: Inspections are normally not about cosmetic issues (stained, dirty, ugly), but about checking to see whether something is broken, unsafe, or not working as intended. This category includes wall, cabinets, windows, and floor coverings. Are exterior hinges installed properly or could the pins be removed allowing unwanted access?
