Meet Your Inspector
I started inspecting residential and commercial properties in 2008 for insurance companies. I hold my insurance licenses, my insurance adjuster license, and am a licensed inspector. My background in insurance gives me a great perspective on property safety as well as how to coach you to save the most money maintaining your property. I look forward to serving you to protect one of your largest if not the largest investment you have or will have, your home or property.
What Services We Offer
Buyers Inspections
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. This is our typical home inspection that catches common defects so you understand the investment you’re making.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Some homeowners want to make repairs to their house before they put it on the market and will make repairs using their inspection report as a baseline reference. Please understand that most buyers will still want to perform their own inspection even if the seller has already had an inspection done.
New Construction
We will start with the pre-design phase to ensure that everything meets safety codes, including electrical wiring and plumbing systems. Then, the design phase to make sure that the plans meet local zoning laws and are aesthetically pleasing. In the construction phase, ensuring that the materials used adhere to OSHA standards. And, finally, they will review the post-construction work to ensure that nothing went wrong during the build.
11th Month Warranty Inspection
Most builders offer a one-year warranty on a new home. We perform a full home inspection before the builder’s warranty expires. Just because your home is new, doesn’t necessarily mean it is defect-free. At your 11-month mark, take advantage of your last chance to take advantage of your warranty!
Wind Mitigation Inspections
A wind mitigation inspection is an evaluation of your roof structure and how it performs during high winds. This type of inspection is typically performed by insurance companies, building owners, and contractors. The purpose of a wind mitigation inspection is to protect the property against future damage caused by strong winds.
4-Point Inspection
There are four essential elements to a home that are often covered in an insurance claim: your electrical, HVAC, water heater tank, and roof. Instead of a thorough review of the whole home, a 4-point inspection only covers the aforementioned elements. This means it's quicker and less costly than a regular inspection, while still focusing on what your insurer will require.
Commercial Inspections
A commercial building inspection helps you identify potential problems before they become expensive repairs or even worse, an unsafe structure. It also gives you peace of mind knowing that your property is safe for tenants and visitors. This type of inspection is required by law in most states. Whether you're looking for a quick turnaround or a comprehensive inspection, our certified property inspectors are ready to serve you.
Pool & Spa Inspections
A pool inspection is one of the most important steps in owning a swimming pool. We are licensed and insured to inspect residential swimming pools and spas, commercial swimming pools and spas, and water features such as fountains and whirlpool tubs. Our inspection process includes a thorough visual examination of the equipment and components of the system.
Sewer Scopes Inspections
A sewer scope is an inspection of the lateral sewer lines from the house at or close to the foundation to the city sewer, HOA tap, and/or the septic tank. Sewer scoping can help homeowners and homebuyers identify potential problems with their sewer systems. A sewer scope operator uses a camera to view the insides of the sewer lines to determine if there are any cracks, bellying, damages, clogs, or debris. Save yourself thousands of dollars by getting a sewer scope before buying a house!
Water Quality Testing
A water quality test is performed by an inspector who looks for contaminants in the water supply. While public water systems must test and treat their water before distributing it, these tests only cover water that hasn't left the treatment plant. Before your water enters your home’s supply line, it travels through miles of pipes. Some of these pipes might be in poor condition or they could contain lead. The inspector checks for pH levels, fluoride levels (which may be too high), mineral contaminants (including iron, arsenic, and lead), and heavy metals.
Radon Testing
Radon is colorless and odorless, and it is extremely carcinogenic. According to the EPA, radon is one of the leading contributors to the development of lung cancer, behind only smoking. For this reason, regular radon testing is key whether you’re a homeowner, or you’re interested in purchasing a home.
Mold Testing
Mold is a type of fungus that flourishes in moist environments and reproduces by means of airborne spores. There are over 400,000 types of mold, and while there are only a few dozen that are toxic, exposure to many molds can lead to health problems.
Asbestos Testing
If your home was built before the 1970's and you suspect that there may be parts that use asbestos-containing materials, you should have it tested right away. Asbestos is extremely toxic and can cause irreversible health effects, so don’t wait. Contact a qualified asbestos inspector near you immediately!
Thermal Imaging
The purpose of an infrared scan is to find hidden issues and catch them before they become a major problem. Thermal imaging is an advanced & newer technology that inspectors use to get temperature details about a home, and assess how protected against environmental elements the home is.
Drone Inspections
Drone technology has revolutionized the way we inspect roofs. It's much faster, safer, and more thorough than traditional methods, and it allows us to see areas that were previously inaccessible. We can help! Contact us today for more information about our roof inspection services!
WDO Inspections
Termites can go unnoticed until they cause catastrophic damage to your home. Whether you’re shopping for a home and suspect a termite issue, or you think your current home may be affected by termites, we can provide you with comprehensive testing, and help you understand your options for termite remediation if we do discover an infestation.
