Investing in a commercial building is going to be a big move for your business. Having a comprehensive inspection completed prior to closing on the real estate transaction to determine if any defects exist is a smart move toward protecting your interests.

Older homes are popular in many parts of the country, but it’s important that any home you may be considering that was built before the mid 1970s is checked for the presence of either asbestos or lead paint. Many residential inspectors are qualified to conduct the tests that will reveal the presence of either toxic material.

It’s important to remember that you can’t rent a residential property that contains lead paint to families with young children without providing an inspection. Let’s talk about how we can help you prove your property is safe to rent out.

Your home is in excellent condition but you are shocked to hear about a small leak in a pipe inside the wall in the garage. The buyer wants a $10,000 credit, and you have no way to know if that’s reasonable or not. That’s why it’s always a good idea for a seller to also get a residential inspection.

What does it mean if door frames are sticking and jamming? The frame of the building could be settling down onto an uneven foundation. Fortunately, inspection services can assess whether or not the building is settling and what types of risk factors are involved.

Wondering what causes foundation issues? Well, the ground below your property can sometimes move over time, which could cause cracks in your walls.

Building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, signs, fire, fire sprinkler, and energy codes are checked during a building inspection to make sure your home is safe and secure.

Lead poisoning can cause serious health problems, as too much lead in the human body can damage the brain, kidneys, nervous system, and red blood cells. If you live in an older home, be sure to have it tested for the presence of lead-based paints.

When a roof fails, it’s unlike when other parts of your house run into problems. A broken or damaged roof can lead to problems around the whole house, which is why a roof inspection is a vital part of any home inspection.

Local foundation companies will be familiar with particular foundation issues like environmental stress, soil composition and building practices and will be able to offer a tailored approach to the repair.
