Schedule your inspection or call (919) 295-0899 to talk through your questions.
• General Home Inspection
Buying a home? This is your inspection.
Selling a home? This is your inspection.
If you have lived in the home for more than five years, this is your inspection too. You will get clear findings, photos, and practical next steps so you can make confident decisions.
Best suited for buyers and sellers seeking a thorough, unbiased evaluation before closing. Add-on services such as radon, termite, or water testing can be combined for a complete inspection package.
• New Construction
Independent, phase-by-phase inspections that catch issues early and document them clearly for your builder. We focus on workmanship, installation quality, safety, and performance.
Inspecting a brand new home can not only save you money but protect your investment.
• Rental / Investment Inspection
Concise, investor-friendly reporting focused on safety, habitability, and predictable repair costs. Perfect for acquisition, renewal, or move-in/move-out documentation.
The investor inspection is not meant for those planning to use the property as their main residence.
• Annual Inspection
Annual inspections A yearly health check of the home’s major systems to prevent small issues from becoming expensive repairs. Great for long-term owners to maintain their equity.
• Sewer Scope Inspection
Your main sewer lateral may be harboring some hidden secrets that could prove financially devastating. These problems lurk beneath the surface and carry substantial repair or replacement costs, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. And here’s the catch: your insurance policy likely won’t provide any coverage for it! A sewer scope inspection serves as a proactive safeguard against unforeseen financial burdens. Choose our Sewer Scope Inspection add-on service, an invaluable option to your home inspection.
• Radon Testing
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking. Not to scare you, but Radon really is becoming a big deal. Where is radon? Everywhere, both in the air and in the water. It’s a naturally occurring gas found around the globe. It comes from the soil and is virtually undetectable, at least to our senses. Studies have proven its negative health effects. The EPA also says there is no safe exposure limit. Make sure the air you breathe in your home and the water you drink are safe. Radon testing is included with our Air Quality Inspection and is included with ALL of our Package inspection options. Specific radon water testing can also be requested. And don’t worry, if your radon levels are high, there are ways to fix them to keep you and your family safe.
• Termite & Pest Inspection
Termites and other wood-destroying pests are responsible for over $3 billion in damage annually with the average home mitigation and repair bill near $3,300 each. We partner with local experts to provide Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) required by some lenders and insurers. And wouldn’t you know it, most homeowner policies do not provide protection for pest damage.
• Mold Inspection & Testing
Mold is everywhere. But conditions in the home control its growth. If mold is allowed to take up residence in your home, you’ll want to figure out why, and then get it out as soon as possible. We offer two options for mold inspection and testing, Complete and Limited. A Complete mold inspection includes a full home assessment and air sampling. Limited is intended for direct sampling of a specific area of concern. A complete mold inspection is also part of our Air Quality Inspection which includes Radon testing.
• Water Quality Testing
Everyone should have their water tested at least once a year. Regardless of whether you are on public or private water systems, you’ll want to get your water tested. Changes to the environment and geological conditions can influence the chemical makeup of the water we drink. We offer testing panels for all kinds of scenarios. Did you just build a home or move into one with a well, then you should make this a priority. We have panels for private wells, city public works, and tests to qualify for VA, FHA, and USDA loan funding.
• Septic Inspection
Mmm, septic systems. Sometimes just the mention of it makes you cringe. Septics are easy to use yet also very easy to break. They are cheap to maintain, but astronomically expensive to repair. Be that as it may, wastewater systems are major components that require special licensing to inspect. Lucky for you we hold those licenses. Some inspectors offer dye tests… dye tests are not septic inspections, so ask around to see what others are offering. We’ll do the dirty work to confirm your system is functioning as it was designed.
• Advanced Well Inspection
Private wells are meant to provide an adequate source of water to your home. We confirm the system is operating as intended and will provide a sufficient supply of water for you and your family. We check the pressure tank pre-charge & draw-down, switch cut-in and cut-out settings, flow rate, and include a basic water quality test.
• Pool & Spa Inspection
Inground or Above-ground pools and spas require ongoing maintenance to provide years of entertainment for the family. They’re like little houses that include some of the same systems to function correctly… you just can’t live in them… unless you ask our kids. Digressing, we check for all visible and readily accessible safety hazards. We inspect the electrical, plumbing, structure, filtration, and heating systems.
• Single System Assessment
Don’t feel like ponying up the money for a full inspection? Or are you wanting to have an evaluation of a system you suspect is about to go kaput? Either way, we offer single-system assessments for just those reasons. Want to know if your roof is on its way out without having to deal with the hard sale from a contractor? Yeah, me neither. We’ll give you an unbiased opinion on the status of the system you choose without selling you something you don’t need. Our single system assessments apply to either the roof, exterior, interior, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or a thermal evaluation.
