RESIDENTIAL INSPECTIONS

Pre-purchase home inspections provide the buyer with peace of mind and insight into the condition of the home.  It is an objective visual examination of the structure,  components, and mechanical systems of the home.  Don't buy a home without knowing potential safety problems and necessary repairs.  

PRE-PURCHASE

Sell your home with the advantages that a pre-listing inspection provides.  We will identify maintenance needs before you sell, allowing the home to put its best foot forward when entering the market.  Completing repairs in advance can save you time and money at the sale.

PRE-LISTING

If you're the first occupant of your brand-new home, we offer a pre-drywall inspection during construction as well as an inspection before your final walkthrough.  Our new construction inspections will help you protect your investment and make sure everything is running smoothly so you can settle in to your new dream home!

NEW CONSTRUCTION

Take advantage of the 1 year warranty on your new home by allowing us to inspect covered items for deficiencies before your warranty period ends.  Scheduling this inspection one month prior can potentially save you lots of money and headaches later down the road.  Don't let your warranty expire without this crucial inspection. 

ONE YEAR WARRANTY

Even small maintenance items now can become big problems for you and your home in the future.  Catching these issues can often be difficult without an experienced inspector.  Keep your family safe and save money by allowing us to give your home its  yearly check-up.   

MAINTENANCE

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas and  the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Naturally occurring in soil, it is present in every county in North Carolina.  Determine whether or not you are being exposed to safe levels of radon in your home by allowing us to perform the EPA recommended radon testing. 

RADON GAS TESTING

Get an exceptional view of your roof.  Many problems inside a house begin with the integrity of the roof.  Drones can inspect areas of your roof that are difficult or unsafe to access.   Whether it's too steep or complex to walk on, we can get a close-up look at deficiencies and provide you with a detailed report with pictures and video!

DRONE

Sometimes a crawlspace is too tight or potentially dangerous for an inspector to squeeze inside.  Enter the crawl-bot.  Our tiniest inspector provides an incredible view of the crucial systems that live under your home.  The foundation, floor structure, insulation, electrical, and plumbing can be inspected for defects like never before.
