Buying a house can be stressful and requires countless important decisions.  When you find a house a thorough inspection will educate you on the conditions of the property, both positive and potentially negative.  Even new construction can have issues, and a detailed inspection can provide you with a punch list for your contractor.  Having a detailed home inspection report before you close on your home will prepare you for any potential problems and set your mind at ease.  I will walk through any problem areas with you on-site, as well. 

A professional home inspection can be very valuable for home sellers.  By getting a home inspection before putting your house on the market you can get a better understanding of the condition of your home before putting up the “For Sale” sign.  This will help eliminate surprises and make the selling process easier.

 Radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in most rocks and soil. It is produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon is harmlessly dispersed in outdoor air, but when trapped in buildings can increase the risk of lung cancer, especially at elevated levels.

Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates.  Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer.  Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. 

Whether buying or selling or a home, or simply want to know the status of your current home, a radon test can provide valuable peace of mind or the knowledge to correct a situation before it becomes a health problem.

We use a Sun Nuclear continuous radon monitor to measure and record the amount of radon or its decay products in the air and provide a report of this information, revealing any unusual or abnormal swings in radon levels during the test period.
