Additional Inspection Services
More insight where it matters most.
Beyond the Basic Inspection
An inspection is essential — but it can't catch everything. Our expanded services provide added insight into specific systems, property types, or concerns—so you can move forward with confidence.
Whether it’s radon testing, a sewer scope, or mold inspections, we make it easy to add the services that matter most for your home.
Targeted Inspection Services
Focused inspections using advanced tools to uncover hidden structural and safety concerns.
This colorless, odorless gas is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and enters a home without any visible indicators. Radon levels vary widely—even between neighboring houses—and approximately 40% of homes may have elevated levels.
Foundation type doesn’t matter; slab, crawlspace, and basement homes can all be affected. Because there is no reliable way to predict which homes are impacted, testing is the only way to assess risk before purchase.
Infrared imaging helps detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye, such as hidden moisture, missing insulation, air leaks, or overheating electrical components. By revealing subtle temperature differences, it adds valuable insight beyond a standard visual inspection.
While it doesn’t see through walls or diagnose problems on its own, it helps pinpoint areas that may need further evaluation — allowing concerns to be identified earlier and addressed before they become costly repairs.
A wood-destroying insect inspection looks for signs of termites, carpenter ants, and other insects that can damage a home’s wood structure. Because much of this activity happens out of sight, the inspection focuses on visible clues such as wood damage, mud tubes, or insect debris.
Catching infestations early helps prevent more serious structural damage down the road. If signs of activity are found, you’ll have clear, practical information to help guide treatment, repairs, or any other actions needed to protect the home.


Plumbing & Sewer Evaluation
Comprehensive testing and inspections for your home’s water and waste systems.
Sewer lines are buried and out of sight, but serious defects can exist at any age, whether a home is brand new or 100 years old. Problems like root intrusion, cracked pipes, offsets, or blockages often develop without any obvious warning signs.
Because the condition of the sewer line can’t be determined visually as part of a standard home inspection, a sewer camera inspection is the only reliable way to evaluate proper drain function and identify costly issues before they become your responsibility.
Since most septic components are buried and not visible during an inspection, a septic test evaluates how the system functions under stress. Because you can’t see inside the tank or drain field, functional testing is essential to determine whether the system is properly processing wastewater.
This evaluation provides valuable insight into the system’s current performance and can reveal signs of backup, slow drainage, or potential failure. Identifying concerns early helps avoid major unexpected expenses and allows for better planning of maintenance or repairs.
A wood-destroying insect inspection looks for signs of termites, carpenter ants, and other insects that can damage a home’s wood structure. Because much of this activity happens out of sight, the inspection focuses on visible clues such as wood damage, mud tubes, or insect debris.
Catching infestations early helps prevent more serious structural damage down the road. If signs of activity are found, you’ll have clear, practical information to help guide treatment, repairs, or any other actions needed to protect the home.
Environmental & Air Quality Testing
Testing for contaminants and indoor air quality to protect your health and home.
Elevated mold levels, allergens, and other airborne contaminants can be present even in clean, well-maintained homes. Testing may help identify hidden moisture or ventilation issues early—before they develop into health concerns or costly repairs.
The results provide objective data to guide informed decisions and help prioritize repairs or improvements. For households with allergies, asthma, or young children, this added insight can offer reassurance and a clearer path forward when deciding how to proceed.
Lead testing helps identify the presence of lead in paint, plumbing, or other components, particularly in homes built before 1978. Because it isn’t usually visible, specialized testing methods are used to determine whether it may be present on painted surfaces or within certain materials.
Understanding whether a hazard exists is important for protecting occupants — especially children — from potential health risks. If concerns are identified, you’ll have actionable information to make practical decisions about safety, maintenance, or next steps.
Asbestos was commonly used in insulation, flooring, siding, and many other building products in older properties. Because it isn’t identifiable by sight alone, proper identification of suspect materials, along with careful sample collection and laboratory analysis, is required to confirm its presence.
Knowing whether asbestos exists in a home is especially important before remodeling or disturbing older materials. If it is identified, you’ll have clear information to guide safe handling, monitoring, or professional abatement — helping protect occupants and prevent unnecessary exposure.

Common Questions
Helpful answers to guide you in choosing the services that best fit your home.
Usually not. Many serious problems — like elevated radon levels, hidden sewer line damage, or environmental issues — cannot be detected without specialized testing.
It depends on the home’s age, location, and condition. Older homes, properties with basements or crawlspaces, and rural homes often benefit from additional testing. We’re happy to recommend options based on the property.
Yes — services can usually be added right up to or during the inspection. We recommend adding them early to ensure availability.
In many cases, yes. Identifying hidden issues early can prevent costly surprises and strengthen your negotiating position before closing.
Depending on the service, you may receive either an integrated section within your inspection report or a separate detailed report. All findings are clearly documented and delivered promptly.
