Ancillary Services
Radon Testing
Radon is an odorless, colorless gas that is undetectable by our senses. We test levels over a 48-hour period to determine if it is present and can offer referrals to mitigate it, if necessary.
Sewer Scopes
We use special cameras to examine the pipe from the home to the city connection in the street, checking for type of pipe, tree root infiltration, blockages, and other damage.
Air Quality/Mold Testing
If organic growth is noted during an inspection, we can do both swab and air samples to determine the type of growth and the levels in the air.
Thermal Imaging
Using specialized equipment, we can check for temperature differences in walls and ceilings which may be indicative of water leaks or poor insulation.
Asbestos Testing
In homes built prior to 1980, asbestos may be a concern in insulation, “popcorn” ceilings, or tile. Our inspectors are trained in obtaining samples which are sent to a lab for analysis.
Lead Paint Testing
In homes built prior to 1978, lead based paint may be present. If this is of concern to you, our inspectors can get a sample and have it analyzed at our lab.
