Our general home inspection provides an unbiased third party evaluation of the major mechanical and structural components of a home. During the 2 1/2 to 3 hour inspection we take notes, photos, and answer any questions you have about the home. The report is written in our office. Your 30 to 35 page narrative report will be ready for pickup from the internet within 24 hours.

In today's "Buyers" market, the Certified Pre-Owned Listing™ Program will make your home stand out in the crowd. Chances are good that there are already a few homes "for sale" in your neighborhood. Chances are also good that they were all built around the same time, don't look real different from your home, and will be priced about the same. Why would a potential buyer look at your home rather than the others in your neighborhood? A pre-list CPOL package makes your home stand out. The buyer knows exactly what they are buying and can look at the home without wondering if there are problems that they do not know about. You can substantiate your asking price by selling "as is," repairing/replacing/removing any defects, or escrowing funds for closing.

Infrared thermal imaging is a valuable, low cost, add-on to a general home inspection. Infrared thermal is a valuable tool to help find hidden moisture intrusion, overheated mechanical equipment, and overheated electrical components. In those months of the year where there is a substantial difference in indoor and outdoor temperature, missing, loose, or substandard insulation is also easily found.

Termite and wood destroying insects, if not detected and treated in a timely manner, can cause heartbreaking damage to a home. Also many banks and lenders will require a Wood Destroying Insect Inspection for a mortgage.

Radon is the second leading cause of cancer in the US after smoking. Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. Radon gas and its radioactive decay products can do significant damage to the living tissue of your lungs. Just like smoking where you probably won't get lung cancer on the first puff, you probably won't get lung cancer from your first breath of radon. It's the damage done over many years that can cause cancer. What's the good news? Elevated radon levels can be reduced to lower your risk. (DEP # 2475)
