Our Building and Pest Inspection Services
Structural Inspections
Structural integrity is vital when purchasing a property. Our structural inspections assess the stability and condition of the building’s framework. We examine the foundation, walls, floors, ceilings, and roof for any signs of damage, wear, or potential structural failure. This ensures that you are aware of any major issues that could affect the property’s value and safety.
Pest Inspections
Pest infestations can cause severe damage to a property and are often difficult to detect without a professional inspection. Our pest inspections focus on identifying signs of termites, borers, and other pests that can compromise the building’s structural integrity. We provide detailed recommendations for treatment and prevention, helping you maintain a pest-free property.
Electrical and Plumbing Inspections
Faulty electrical and plumbing systems can pose significant safety hazards and lead to costly repairs. Our inspectors check the property’s electrical and plumbing systems for compliance with safety standards and functionality. This includes examining wiring, outlets, fixtures, pipes, and drainage systems to ensure they are in good working order and safe for use.
Roof and Gutter Inspections
A well-maintained roof and gutter system are essential for protecting a property from water damage. Our inspections assess the condition of the roofing materials, gutters, downspouts, and drainage systems. We look for signs of leaks, blockages, and wear that could lead to more significant issues if not addressed promptly.
Insulation and Ventilation Inspections
Proper insulation and ventilation are crucial for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home. Our inspectors evaluate the effectiveness of the property’s insulation and ventilation systems, identifying areas where improvements can be made to enhance energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

Structural defects can range from minor cracks in walls to significant foundation issues. Common signs of structural problems include uneven floors, cracks in walls and ceilings, and doors or windows that do not close properly. Identifying these issues early can save you from costly repairs in the future.
Moisture and Water Damage

Early detection and remediation are crucial to preventing long-term damage.

Roofing Problems
A compromised roof can lead to water leaks, structural damage, and energy inefficiency. Our roof inspections assess the condition of roofing materials, gutters, and downspouts, identifying issues such as loose or missing shingles, blocked gutters, and inadequate drainage.
Insulation and Ventilation Deficiencies
Proper insulation and ventilation are essential for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home. Our inspections evaluate the effectiveness of these systems, identifying areas where improvements can be made to enhance energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
