A home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property's condition, conducted by a certified professional inspector. The process begins with a thorough examination of the exterior, including the roof, siding, windows, doors, and foundation. We look for signs of damage, wear, and potential issues that could affect the home's structural integrity. Next, we move inside to assess the interior components. This includes checking the electrical system, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. We ensure that these systems are functioning properly and identify any areas that may require maintenance or repair. Additionally, our inspector examines the walls, ceilings, floors, and insulation to detect any signs of moisture, mold, or other issues that could impact the home's livability. Throughout the inspection, we take detailed notes and high resolution photographs to document our findings. We will then provide an interactive digital report that outlines the condition of the property, highlighting any areas of concern and recommending necessary repairs or improvements. This report serves as a valuable tool for homeowners and buyers, helping them make informed decisions about the property. A home inspection is an essential step in the home buying process, providing peace of mind and ensuring that the property is safe, sound, and ready for to move in.

A home inspection walk-through consultation is an abbreviated inspection designed to provide buyers with a guided verbal tour of the property. This type of inspection is less formal than our premium home inspection and does not involve the use of specialty tools or equipment. Instead, the inspector relies on their expertise and experience to identify potential issues and provide valuable insights to the buyer. During the walk-through consultation, the inspector and the buyer tour the property together. The inspector points out key areas of interest and they discuss any visible signs of damage, wear, or potential problems that could affect the property's condition and value. The inspector also provides tips on maintenance and repairs that may be needed in the future. Throughout the tour, the inspector encourages the buyer to ask questions and voice any concerns they may have about the property. This interactive approach helps the buyer gain a better understanding of the home's condition and what to expect as a homeowner. After the walk-through consultation, the inspector provides the buyer with an email summary of their findings. This summary highlights the key points discussed during the tour and includes recommendations for any necessary repairs or improvements. While the summary does not include detailed photos or a formal report, it serves as a helpful reference for the buyer as they move forward with their purchase decision. A home inspection walk-through consultation is an excellent option for buyers who want a quick, informative overview of a property's condition without the need for a comprehensive inspection report and last between 45 minutes to an hour.

East Central Pennsylvania has one of the most serious radon problems in the U.S., according to the EPA. The counties that we cover are in red Zone 1, indicating a high degree of radon contamination. The good news is that you can fix a radon problem with a remediation system. Since Radon levels can vary significantly from property to property, the only way to know for sure is to test. We use the most advanced Continuous Radon Monitors (CRM) that not only accurately measure radon levels every hour over a 48 hour test, but also measure temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.
