An experienced inspector will prepare your Home Inspection Reports with easy-to-read details on:
A thorough and professional termite inspection of your home gives you peace of mind regarding activity or damage caused by termites and other wood destroying insects. Certified Home Inspectors, LLC is licensed to perform wood destroying insect inspections and can spot early signs of infestation. This allows you, the homeowner, a chance to correct the problem before it becomes too costly.
Air quality testing is extremely important to your good health. Air sample testing is by far the most useful test available for detecting a mold problem. Mold testing is recommended if you are experiencing visible symptoms of mold exposure, such as respiratory issues, persistent headaches, watery eyes, or skin rashes.
Swab samples can also be collected where mold growth is a concern. Swab samples help identify if there is an environment conducive to mold growth, but also the type of mold spores present, and the stage of mold growth.
All samples are sent to an independent, certified lab for testing. Sample results can identify if the mold is active, spore count, and which mold is present along with potential health implications.
All of us need clean water to drink. Contaminated water can be a threat to anyone’s health, but especially to young children. Many families rely on private, household wells and use ground water as their source of fresh water. A Drinking Water Test can provide you “peace of mind” results about the condition of your drinking water. This test should be done annually, as recommended by the E.P.A.
A home inspection is a visual process where items typically used within a home are tested and/or operated to verify proper operation or installation. The inspector will fill the sinks and tubs, run the showers, test the HVAC systems, inspect the roof and operate accessible doors and windows.

Investor property inspections are performed prior to purchase as well as periodically during ownership. Pre-purchase inspections are performed to identify defects prior to taking ownership to negotiate repairs or price adjustments which reflect the condition of the property. Periodic inspections for properties currently in your portfolio would ensure the identification of needed repairs following say a long term tenant’s departure. Long-term tenants sometimes neglect to mention repairs and/or abuse the property during their tenancy. Identifying those problems early is the key to profitable ownership.
Listing inspections are very good for the homeowner who may not be in tune with the condition of their home. A great many sales are cancelled due to the buyer’s shock at the “functional condition” of the home. It may look great, but have serious technical, safety, or functional issues present without the owner’s knowledge. Having the home inspected prior to placing on the market is the ideal way to identify and either repair or disclose the issue found in the Inspection Report. Obviously, repairing the items would be the most beneficial towards completing the sale. However, there may be financial reasons where the owner can’t make the repairs. Disclosing them up front and pricing the home based upon that disclosure will often times produce a higher net sales price for the owner.
