I employ the use of thermal imaging on every property inspection at no additional cost to my clients. Moisture and many other defects in a home are hidden and hard to detect until property damage becomes evident. By converting heat into visible images, thermal imaging helps us locate additional defects that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Wood-destroying organisms can cause significant damage to a home and to materials outside of a home, so it is imperative that they are identified and removed by an authorized professional as soon as possible.
The biggest benefit of radon testing is peace of mind. Radon has no smell, taste, or color, and beyond contributing to the development of lung cancer, radon exposure has no symptoms that can be identified by a doctor. That means a radon test is the only way to make sure your home has a safe level of radon.
Condos can have many of the same issues that homes can have, so it is important to make sure that the area is a safe place to live!
While a home inspection can identify visible signs of moisture intrusion or conditions that may support mold growth, airborne mold spores cannot be evaluated through visual inspection alone. Mold air sampling provides additional information about the home’s indoor air by measuring the types and concentrations of mold spores present.
During testing, an outdoor control sample is collected and compared with samples taken inside the home. This comparison helps determine whether indoor mold spore levels appear typical or elevated.
To ensure professional sampling procedures, the inspector works with a trusted mold and indoor air quality testing specialist who performs the air sampling using professional equipment. The samples are then analyzed by an accredited laboratory that identifies mold spore types and concentrations.
Mold air sampling can provide helpful additional information during the home-buying process, particularly when there are concerns about past water issues, humidity conditions, or musty odors.
