Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly.
Radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the US. Make sure you and your family are protected by getting your property inspected. Radon testing is the only way to determine if your home has higher-than-average levels of radon.
Termites can go unnoticed until they cause catastrophic damage to your home. Whether you’re shopping for a home and suspect a termite issue, or you think your current home may be affected by termites, we can provide you with comprehensive testing.
Indoor air quality (IAq) has become a major concern when buying homes. Studies have shown that smoke, fungal spores, and chemicals used by most man-made products such as certain paints, varnish, and cleaners are harmful to humans. Find out what you’ll be breathing with an IAq test.
Before buying a house, get a well inspection done. This will help you know whether you need to drill new wells or repair existing ones. You’ll also learn if the well is in an appropriate place and if it contains enough water. Well inspections should be done annually, and homeowners must maintain their wells. Having a well water test done will help you to know what is in your water. Things like the presence of Coliform and E coli, lead, nitrates, nitrite & phosphorus.
Lead paint is no longer widely used in America, but older homes may still have used it, which can break down and cause lead poisoning and toxicity in both adults and children. If you are interested in purchasing a home that was built before 1970 and you have reason to believe lead paint may be present, lead paint testing is an essential home inspection step.
If your home was built before 1980 and you suspect that there may be parts that use asbestos-containing materials, you should have it tested right away. Asbestos is extremely toxic and can cause irreversible health effects, so don’t wait. Contact a qualified asbestos inspector near you immediately!
