Modern Digital Reporting
I use state of the art software to generate a detailed report that is backed up with all my training, written with the client in mind, and not emotionally driven. My reports include high resolution images and details descriptions of my findings with a focus on health and safety, and they are completely digital so they can easily be accessed and shared.

We complete your Builder’s Warranty Inspection beginning the 10th month after your closing date. This allows Builders the opportunity to complete repairs prior to the expiration of your warranty on the 12th month.
Electrical
We complete electrical inspections keeping in mind age related concerns, incorrect wiring, unnoticeable electrical current problems, unsafe wiring, corrosion, and the need for upgrading the electrical panel to accommodate today’s needs.

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
Electrical wiring and panels
Plumbing connections and fixtures

Investor Property Inspections
Investor Property Inspections are recommended at least every two years for those who own rental properties or second homes. Costly repairs maybe avoided when you are informed about maintenance and repair issues. It also aids in the budgeting for replacement items.
New Construction
We complete this type of inspection looking for errors or omissions that have occurred during the build process which need to be corrected prior to closing. Typical phase inspections would include:
Pre-Foundation - looking at plumbing, foundation support, and structural
Pre-Drywall - Prior to walls being closed in by drywall
Pre-Closing - Final inspection prior to closing
Post-Closing - For those pushed to close by the builder without the builder having adequate time to remediate concerns before closing
Home Warranty - Completed in your 10th month of home ownership to give to the builder adequate time to make repairs prior to the warranty ending at the end of the 12th month.
Radon Inspections
Radon Inspections measure radon levels in picocuries per liter of air. While there is no safe level of radon, the Environmental Protection Agency set an action level of 4 picocuries per liter, or pCi/L. This means that once radon levels reach or exceed 4 pCi/L, you must take action to fix the problem.
Sewer Scope Inspections
We used to believe scoping was only needed on older homes with those “past-their-life” cast iron. But we were amazed at how often problems were found on newer PVC drain piping. Even new construction! Tree roots, poor installation and settling can really affect your buried sewer pipes, so having it scoped ahead of time can save you THOUSANDS of dollars. Just ask anyone who has had to deal with sewer pipe replacement.
