After all of the plumbing has been operated throughout the home, Russ goes into the crawlspace. Wood humidity is tested and the floor structure is inspected along with the plumbing . Lydia takes this time to set the Radon test, gather any mold, asbestos, or lead paint samples that were requested.

Various tools are used during a typical home inspection that we perform. A drone, extension moisture meters, infra-red camera, Radon test machine, surface moisture meters, elctrical receptacle testers, thermometers, water pressure gauges and more.

If a tool will better help us identify an issue in your prospective home, we want to use it!  Stains on high celings are no match for our extendable moisture meter, steep pitched roofs are easily accessed with our drone, and lab-issued testing swabs insure we collect an accurate sample for testing.

Our software is the best in the industry, allowing us to process the 100+ photos that we take during the inspection and be able to have the report ready to view on site. As always, we encourage you to come by near the end of the inspection so we can give you a presentation of our findings on our laptop. This way you can see where we have been and what we found, and ask any questions that you may have.  Reports are emailed out the night of the inspection, so even if you aren't able to attend, you don't have to wait to see your report!
