Home Inspections

We’ll check your home basic safety elements. Our inspection starts with structural elements, foundation, electrical & ventilation systems.

Commercial Inspection

If you have a commercial property that needs to be inspected, I can help you through that process as well. I am a member of the Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association (ccpia.org).

Water Quality Testing

We will test your water for pollutants and contaminants like chemicals and bacteria. We can also confirm that the pH level is stable.

Septic System Inspection

Where public sewer is not available, your home will utilize a septic system also known as on-site disposal system.

Mold Inspection

If there is a leak or moisture intrusion into your home, chances are, conditions are ripe for mold growth which can be costly for repairs.

While you can’t see or smell this radioactive gas, it’s crucial to know your home’s levels. Excessive levels are a cause an increase in risk of lung cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our customers are our top priority when it comes to understanding home inspections and how it’s done. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we encountered.

What is a home inspection?

A home inspection is a visual check of the house’s structure and systems by a certified inspector. The inspector will report on the condition and operation of the heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, roof, foundation and other components.

Why do I need a home inspection?

A home inspection will help you learn about any defects or problems with the house before buying or selling it. You can use the inspection report to negotiate repairs or price adjustments, or to cancel the deal if the problems are too serious.

How much does a home inspection cost?

The cost of a home inspection varies depending on the size, age, condition and location of the house. The average cost in Pennsylvania is about $500. This does not include any extra services that you may request, such as water quality testing, radon testing, air quality testing, insect wood damage inspection, or mold inspection.

What should I expect from a home inspection?

You should expect a thorough and professional service from your home inspector. A typical home inspection takes about 2 to 4 hours to complete. You are welcome and encouraged to attend the inspection and ask questions.

Can a house fail a home inspection?

No, a house cannot fail a home inspection. A home inspection is not a pass or fail test, but an assessment of the current condition of the house. A home inspector will not tell you whether to buy or sell a house, but provide you with factual information that can help you make an informed decision.
