A Full-Home Inspection is a detailed evaluation of the entire home including all the building systems and components. The average home inspection takes approximately 2 – 4 hours depending on the condition and age of the home. Based on a 2500 sq/ft home.
We frequently perform partial or limited home inspections. Many times banks, insurance compaines and mortgage companies request evaluation of a component of a home. The inspection may consist of evaluating a crack in a foundation wall, or just checking a roof, or electrical system etc. Whatever the situation, we work with our clients to meet their needs.
We test for Mold and Allergens to find if there are any elevated levels in the air quality. We can also test for mold where evidence of moisture is found. Swab, Tape Lift, and Bulk samples are some of the types of samples collected for an independent Lab analysis.
