Lead-based paint inspection

A lead-based paint inspection is a thorough assessment to identify the presence of lead-based paint in homes or buildings. It involves testing painted surfaces, especially in older properties, to determine if lead-based paint poses a health risk, particularly to young children or pregnant women. This inspection helps in making informed decisions about lead paint mitigation or removal to ensure a safe and healthy living environment.

Roof Inspection

Pest, Termite, Rodent inspection

A pest, termite, and rodent inspection is a thorough assessment of a property to identify and evaluate the presence of pests, termites, and rodents. It involves a meticulous examination of structural elements, crawl spaces, and potential hiding spots to detect signs of infestations. This inspection aims to safeguard the property from structural damage and health hazards, ensuring a pest-free and secure environment.

Electrical Inspection

An electrical inspection is a thorough evaluation of a building’s electrical system. It assesses wiring, outlets, panels, and fixtures to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes. This inspection helps identify potential hazards, like faulty wiring or overloaded circuits, and ensures a safe and reliable supply of electricity within the structure.

Technicians assess sprinkler heads, pipes, timers, and water pressure to detect leaks, blockages, or inefficiencies, ensuring your landscape stays well-hydrated while conserving water.

Structural Inspection by an Engineer

A structural engineer inspection involves a thorough assessment of a building’s framework, focusing on its stability and integrity. The engineer examines the foundation, walls, roof, and support structures to identify any weaknesses, structural damage, or potential safety hazards. This inspection is crucial for ensuring the long-term safety and reliability of a structure, especially before renovations or property purchases. The engineer’s expertise helps in identifying and addressing any structural issues, providing valuable insights to maintain or enhance the building’s structural soundness.

Soil analysis

A soil analysis inspection is a comprehensive examination of the soil composition in a specific area. It involves collecting soil samples to assess its texture, nutrient content, pH levels, and potential contaminants. This information helps determine soil suitability for agriculture, construction, or environmental purposes, aiding in land management and decision-making. Soil analysis is crucial for optimizing crop yields, ensuring stable foundations, and mitigating environmental risks, making it an essential tool for agriculture, engineering, and environmental science.

Underground Oil Tank Inspection

An underground oil tank inspection involves a comprehensive assessment of buried oil storage systems. This inspection examines the tank’s condition, potential leaks, corrosion, and compliance with environmental regulations to ensure safety and prevent soil and groundwater contamination.

Section 8 Housing

A Section 8 housing inspection is a thorough evaluation of a rental property’s condition to ensure it meets federal standards for safe and sanitary living. This assessment is typically conducted by a housing authority representative to determine if the property is suitable for tenants receiving housing assistance.

The primary goal is to provide affordable, safe, and habitable housing for low-income individuals and families while holding property owners accountable for maintaining their properties in acceptable condition.

Pre-Listing Inspection

A pre-listing inspection is a thorough examination of a property conducted before it’s put on the market. It helps sellers identify and address potential issues, ensuring a smoother and more transparent sales process. Buyers gain confidence in the property’s condition, and it can lead to quicker, more successful sales transactions.

Thermal Imaging Inspection

Thermal Imaging Inspection uses infrared technology to detect temperature variations in a structure. It reveals hidden issues like insulation problems, electrical faults, or water leaks by capturing heat signatures, providing valuable insights for maintenance and energy efficiency.

Four Point Inspection

A Four-Point Inspection is a thorough assessment of four key areas in a property: the roof, electrical system, plumbing system, and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning). It provides an overview of the condition of these crucial components, often used for insurance purposes to assess the overall safety and risk associated with the property.
