Our Services
WE DO RADON TESTING
What is radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that’s produced by decaying uranium. It’s present in nearly all soils. Radon testing needs to be done by a licensed professional.
Why is radon a problem?
The problem occurs when radon gas enters your home and gets trapped. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can cause lung cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that lung cancer caused by radon exposure kills about 21,000 Americans every year.
WE DO WDI INSPECTIONS
If you're buying a home, having the home inspected for termites beforehand is usually required by the lender before they approve the mortgage. The lender will require that you have a licensed termite inspection (as well as a general home inspection) performed before the sale is finalized.
A termite inspection can also save buyers headaches later on if there are visible signs of termite damage that are found prior to the closing. The buyer definitely needs to know whether the home has an existing termite problem and the extent of the damage so they can decide whether to walk away from the deal or ask the seller to make the necessary repairs.
The termite inspection is typically an expense borne by the home buyer and it is definitely worth the price in the event that visible termite infestations are found.
WE DO SEPTIC INSPECTIONS
When you buy a house you want to be certain that you know what you are getting. You can feel more confident about your property choice when you have a septic inspection preformed by us. This information may give you additional information on weather or not to move forward in the transaction of the home. Most importantly, a septic system inspection will help you become familiar with this vital home system. If you are considering buying a home with a septic system, do not hesitate to arrange to have a septic inspection added to the home inspection.
We Do Water Testing
We do both FHA/VA Full Chemical w/Lead and Bacteria Only testing.
Air Quality Test
Home air quality is a growing health issue throughout the US. Most homeowners and potential home buyers are not aware there is an accurate and inexpensive way to determine the level of unwanted chemicals in home air. Additionally many states and lending institutions now recommend that a home air quality audit be performed during a property sale.
IAQ Home Survey is an accurate, simple to use and cost effective tool for use in determining airborne chemicals (VOCs) and active growing mold (MVOCs) in home air. With a single sample, IAQ Home Survey reports the air quality via the total levels of VOCs (TVOC) and MVOCs (TMVOC). Most importantly, the chemical information is translated into categories of potential sources. This allows an action plan for improving air quality to be developed. In the case of a real estate transaction, it identifies the chemical contamination contributed by the home itself.
IAQ Home Survey is a cost effective tool for indoor air quality assessments. It is particularly useful in real estate transactions.
