A Comprehensive Home inspection
Inspecting the home is one of the most important parts of the home buying process and inspection by a certified professional is imperative to making the most informed decision. I possess the correct tools and am certified to discover issues with structural, electrical, plumbing, insulation, ventilation, HVAC and more. I also have the latest technology to test your home for radon.
On every home inspection I will provide you with a detailed, but easy to read, report on:
- roof, vents, flashing and trim
- gutters and downspouts
- skylight, chimney, and other roof penetrations
- decks, stoops, porches, walkways and railings
- eaves, soffit and fascia
- grading and drainage
- basement, foundation and crawlspace
- water penetration and foundation movement
- heating system
- cooling system
- main water shut-off valves
- water heating system
- interior plumbing fixtures and faucets
- electrical service line and meter box
- main electrical disconnect and service amperage
- electrical panels, breakers and fuses
- GFCIs and AFCIs
- fireplace damper door and hearth
- insulation and ventilation

- review our standards of practice at www.nachi.org/sop.htm for complete details

NACHI certified
Professionally certified by the National Association of Home Inspectors in all the aspects of a home.
radon testing
Radon is radioactive gas naturally emitted from the ground and exists everywhere. Radon can accumulate to dangerous levels in the home and is the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Testing is always recommended.
Infrared Imaging
Infrared imaging can be used to detect moisture/water leaks, heat loss, furnace and radiant issues and efficiency. Imaging is included free on every inspection.
MOLD testing
Mold testing will test for the presence of numerous molds, fungi and allergens including black mold. A minimum of two air samples are taken. One from outside and one from inside the home. Indoor results are then compared to baseline mold levels in the outdoor air. Additional indoor samples can be taken depending on your needs. Please call us to discuss.
IRRIGATION Inspection
If your irrigation system is not in prime condition then you
may be paying much more than necessary to maintain your yard. I recommend an irrigation
inspection to catch issues such as; leaks at sprinklers due to missing nozzles,
leaks in manifolds and zone boxes, leaking sprinkler lines with visible
flooding at the surface, missing coverage/inaccurate spray patterns, controller
failure, and other equipment failure.
SpA/Hot TUb Inspection
Repairing or replacing a spa/hot tub can be very expensive and repair costs can add up quickly. If the home you are a buying or selling is equipped with these features I recommend they be inspected as well. Add a spa/hot tub inspection and I will open access panels and inspect all visible plumbing, filters, lights, valves, pumps and motors, electrical system, filtration system, pool heater, safety barriers, solar heating systems, and any adjoining structure related to the spa/hot tub.
