Going Everywhere
Really Adds Up!
Roofing
The average roofing job costs around $12,000. Many times damaged roofing is spotted from underneath the roof decking or by a buildup of asphalt granules in gutters.
Attic
It's about $7,000 to remove and install new insulation. By crawling in the hard to get into spaces conditions are found that homeowners are unaware of.
Siding, along with windows, doors, and interiors, provide clues to how the foundation is performing. Exterior replacement runs approximately $20,000.
Plumbing
Replacing water heaters is common and knowing whether your system is up to code will help you determine what components need to be replaced. Water heaters are about $800 to replace but if you aren't up to code that cost can double easily.
Appliances
Each machine has a valuable test that if performed will tell you if it's operating properly. Appliances range from $400 to a few thousand dollars to replace.
HVAC
By far the system with the most problems and the most expensive to replace. Standard testing of this system will not uncover a problem %90 of the time. Advanced diagnostics of this system can save you $12 - 15,000!
Electrical
It's all about safety with this system. Checking for up-to-date and operational protection devices and proper system operation is the goal. Although, aluminum wiring is present in some houses and can be upwards of $5,000 to add all new code-compliant receptacles.
Foundation
Foundations take an expert eye and investigation of symptoms to determine a problem. Foundations can settle for years undetected and cause sloping, cracking, and out of square finish work and structural members. Repair cost varies wildly and can cost upwards of $10,000 to repair. It's best to detect the signs in advance.

Services
Termite Inspection (WDI)
Want to know if there are termites or other insects present? Need to satisfy VA loan requirements? We may even find Wood destroying ants or bees. It's also common to find rodent damage in attics.
Foundation Settlement Plotting
Determine if the foundation is severely settling. The precision altimeter plots sloping to within 1/10 of an inch! Plotting of the foundation is included in the inspection report.
The precision instrument is used to look behind the walls in the infrared spectrum to help the unaided eye determine if there is missing insulation, air intrusion, or water leaks.
Crawlspace Inspection
Does this home have a pier and beam foundation? If so we'll inspect the crawlspace from the door, however, if you'd like a full crawlspace inspection to find hidden gems this is the service for you.
Aerobic Septic Inspection
Determine if the septic system needs to be pumped and the heath of the major components.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Discover damages in the sewer line. Its the one place we can't see during the course of an inspection and it's typically the most expensive fix.
Coliform Well Water Lab Test
We'll take a water sample and deliver it to a local lab for testing of coliform. Usually conducted when a well is present on the property.
Well Components Inspection
Determine the proper operation of the well and its components with this suite of tests.
Water Particle Count
Determine how high the count of particles in the drinking water is. The higher the count the more filtration and salt will be needed to make water clean and healthy for drinking.
Pool and Spa
Mechanical, electrical, plastering, and coping are inspected with this service to discover fixes needed at the pool and spa.
Hydrostatic Testing of Main Plumbing Drain
Determine if the main drain line is leaking. This is a non-pressurized test and is harmless to the home's plumbing and drainage system (licensed plumber required).
Sprinkler/Lawn Irrigation
Damaged heads, insufficient water pressure, damaged valves, and malfunctioning controllers are all uncovered with this inspection.
Indoor Air Quality
Instant reporting of the quality of air in the home without having to wait for lab results. If you're concerned about allergens or harmful substances in the air, this service will give you first indications about existing problems.
Mold Inspection Sampling
Air and tape lift samples can be gathered and sent to the lab for testing. The lab will provide a report with the type of spores in the air, the count, and the determination of whether or not the levels are elevated and harmful. Radon tests can also be deployed upon request.
HVAC Sizing
Many HVAC systems especially on new builds are undersized, the result is much higher heating and cooling costs. This service provides insight to determine if the system(s) are sized properly for the home or if further evaluation is necessary.
