INSPECTION SERVICES
Thermal Imaging
Moisture is a big issue that gets revealed during these inspections which includes hidden sources of mold, roof leaks, and posts that indicate termite nests. Electrical problems are also revealed as well as heat and energy loss, foundation cracks, structural concerns, missing insulation, ventilation glitches and rodent infestations. I provide free infrared scans on every inspection.

Move-In Certified Seller’s Inspection
Picture
Are you selling your home? Let me inspect it before you even list it. A Move-In Certified Seller’s Inspection alerts you to any defects or problems with your home so that you can address them before prospective buyers discover them. You can then take the time you need to obtain reasonable repair estimates. Avoid 11th-hour negotiations and delays and justify your full asking price by having your home for sale inspected now.
Radon Testing
Picture
One in seven Vermont homes has elevated levels of radon. Although radon is naturally occurring radioactive gas in our environment, it’s also the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the U.S. Some studies link radon exposure to childhood leukemia. Unless you test for it, there is no way of knowing if radon is present in your home. What does the EPA recommend? If you are buying a home or selling your home, have it tested for radon.
Water Quality Testing
Picture
Whether you are on well water or public water, we always recommend that you have your water tested prior to purchasing your new home and annually thereafter. Your water can spend time in some unsavory places. Well water can become contaminated with bacteria from septic leaching and with nitrates from farming runoff. Your public water can spend days sitting in dirty pipes and may become contaminated with Lead or Arsenic. We will analyze your water for over 100 parameters and send it to a certified lab for testing. You will receive a full lab report usually within 5 business days of sampling. Ensure your water is safe for your family by having it tested. 
​Level 2 Chimney Inspection
Picture
When you are buying a house, it is important to know everything about the different systems in that house, including the chimney and fireplace system, which is commonly overlooked. The chimney system may include the fireplace, wood stove, pellet stove, furnace or boiler and water heater. All very important components which can result in an unsafe environment and costly repairs. Chimneys contain many hidden areas that may need repair, which can cost you thousands of dollars if they’re not discovered in time. Let me perform a thorough inspection of your chimney for issues now before they become expensive problems later. What does the National Fire Protection Agency REQUIRE – a Level 2 inspection is required upon the sale or transfer of a property.
