A home is probably the biggest purchase you'll ever make, so it's important to understand the condition of your investment. I provide a non-invasive evaluation of the home's accessible structure, systems and components. While a home inspection can't reveal every issue with a home, it will significantly reduce your anxiety by providing you with the knowledge and confidence you need to make an informed home-buying decision.
72-hour test, with additional radon monitors available.
Although radon is a naturally occurring gas in our environment, it's also the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the U.S., according to the Surgeon General. One out of every 15 homes is estimated to have dangerously elevated radon levels. The Surgeon General and the Environmental Protection Agency recommend testing all homes. Millions of Americans have had their homes tested for radon, and you should too.
Unchecked mold indoors can damage the structure of a home, cause wood rot, and cause health problems. A professional mold test starts with a thorough evaluation of your property. I will investigate any signs of past or present moisture intrusion, which can allow mold and other types of fungal growth, and I'll take samples of any suspected mold for laboratory analysis.
I use a state-of-the-art infrared camera to find problems that aren't apparent to the naked eye. An infrared camera translates the heat signatures of objects into colors on a gradient scale, with higher temperatures appearing as lighter colors and lower temperatures as darker colors.
By evaluating these images, I can detect sources of energy loss, pinpoint areas of moisture intrusion, locate deficiencies in the electrical system, and uncover other problems, such as wood-destroying pest and rodent infestations, as well as flue leaks in the chimney that can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Are you selling your home?
Let me inspect it before you even list it. A Move-In Certified® Seller's Inspection alerts you to any defects or problems with your home so that you can address them before prospective buyers discover them. Use this time to give yourself more reasonable repair estimates, and justify your full asking price by having your home pre-inspected.
Your pool requires proper maintenance and regular inspection so that you can enjoy it for years to come. I will inspect it for all the other items that ensure its proper condition and safety.
Do you need just a roof inspection for insurance or other purposes?
I will perform a standalone Roof Inspection & Certification and evaluate your roof from the eaves, as well as walk it (when it is safe to do so) to assess its overall condition, including the presence and status of flashing, chimneys, vents, skylights, and other protrusions.
I use a state-of-the-art, camera-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, to capture images of unsafe or hard-to-access areas, such as tall roofs. I can get an up-close look at any issues and defects that would otherwise not be properly inspected and reported. I can also take aerial photos of the property for real estate listings and informational purposes.
Moisture meters can help detect and quantify the amount of moisture in a building material. I may use a moisture meter to check areas around plumbing pipes, air conditioning units, bathroom toilets and showers, and at wooden components near or in contact with the ground. Appliances that cause water leaks may cause elevated levels of moisture. A professional inspector with a moisture meter is equipped to find the source of moisture problems so they can be corrected before mold growth develops.
Private wells that are constructed properly are usually safe, but problems can allow surrounding contaminants into the water supply. I'll check your private well for basic structural issues, and take a water sample to test it for lead, microbial pollutants, and other harmful chemicals.
Are you building a new home?
I'll come out during different phases of the construction process to make sure your project is being executed according to your specs. I can verify that scheduled work has been completed before you release payment to your contractor. I'll also come out post-completion to help you compile a punch list of remaining items. This is not a code-compliance inspection, but a New Construction Inspection for your project.
Have you had remodeling or repair work done by a contractor to address a deficiency in a structure or system of your home? I'll inspect it to make sure the materials, installation, and workmanship meet quality standards and your specifications. This is not a code-compliance inspection, but an inspection to check that the work was completed properly.
A deck inspection should progress in much the same order as deck construction. Inspections start at the bottom. If a deck is unsafe from underneath, the inspector will not walk out onto the deck to inspect the decking, handrails, and other visible components. The inspector will stop and report the safety issue instead.
An electrical home inspection provides a thorough examination of your entire electrical system, ensuring all electrical wires, systems, and components (such as appliances) meet legal safety standards.
I inspect your property according to the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties. I inspect the following systems during every commercial and property inspection:
A level-one chimney inspection includes a visual check of the fireplace and chimney without any special equipment or climbing onto the roof. I will come to your house with a flashlight, look for damage, obstructions, creosote buildup, and soot, and let you know if the chimney needs sweeping.
