Home Inspection Services

My job, as your inspector, is not to tell you to buy or not buy the home. My job is to tell you the current condition of the home. Identifying items that are considered Home Maintenace, Items to monitor, or items to be addressed by a qualified contractor. I strive to be very detailed, so you have all of the information you need to be confident in your largest purchase.

Many new-build homes come with a 1-year warranty for workmanship and materials. Before your warranty expires have an 11th Month Inspection done to identify items your builder may repair.

Having a New Build Inspection will help catch issues that most buyers may not see. I have extensive framing experience and I am able to read plans to make sure your home is built to plan and to code. I will also do an Inspection tape walk before you do your buyers tape walk. Identifying items that need attention from the builder before you close.

Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless gas that can cause health issues over time. Radon gas exposure has been linked to lung cancer. I use a state-of-the-art, Bluetooth monitor that gives instant results to check Radon levels in the home, which can be mitigated once identified.

Infrared Imaging allows me to see items that are not visible to the naked eye. Overloaded circuits, missing insulation, and leaks. The dark blue circles, in the picture, show the bathroom above the laundry is leaking at the shower and toilet drain connection.

A sewer scope provides an inspection of the sewer line and can identify potential problems such as cracks and tree roots which can quickly escalate to very large issues for homeowners and require expensive repairs. The picture above is from a sewer scope done on a home with a Septic system. It shows a break in the sewer line and root intrusion.

Mold growth can cause health issues. During the inspection I will look for signs of mold growth to determine if a mold test is needed. Mold tests are done by either swabs or air samples. I partner with an accredited mold testing company to provide professional and fast test results to home buyers.

Asbestos is a mineral fiber that was commonly used in building materials prior to the 1980s. When inhaled or digested, asbestos fibers can lead to health issues. I am certified to identify all types of Asbestos and determine if a sample test is needed.
