Our Process
We Have Over 22 Years of Experience in The Industry
Our focus is to provide a thorough home inspection so you can be confident with your next home purchase. We encourage the buyer to be present at the inspection if at all possible.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Having us perform a pre-listing home inspection is the perfect opportunity to identify problems and make repairs before listing your property. Putting your home in better selling condition can speed up the sales process and reduce the stress of waiting for the buyers inspector to discover issues during the contingency period.
Radon And Your Home
What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and is a byproduct of decaying uranium in the soil. Uranium in the soil and rock decay releasing radon gas in the form of radioactive particles, in turn these radioactive particles attach to dust in the home where they can be inhaled. Radon gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless and can only be detected through proper testing.
Why is Radon a Concern?
- Radon is a concern because radon and its decay products release radioactive energy that can damage lung tissue. The more radon you are exposed to and the longer the exposure, the greater the risk of eventually developing lung cancer. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States resulting in 15,000 to 22,000 deaths per year, and is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers.
- I am NRPP trained & certified to test for radon and am a member of AARST – The American Association of Radon Scientists.
