Now offering Healthy Home Inspections
Scientific evidence connects a solid relationship between human health and the home environment.
Let our certified inspector check your home for mold, excessive moisture, radon and other health hazards.
This inspection is especially important if there are young people or the elderly living in the home, as they are more susceptible to hazardous home environments.
Radon Gas Testing
Radon (Rn) is a gaseous radioactive element that occurs from the natural breakdown of uranium in the soil and rocks. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Radon becomes a risk indoors because as it continues to break down, it emits atomic particles that upon entering the lungs can alter the DNA and increase lung cancer risk. In fact, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the nation and is classified as a "Class A" carcinogen according to EPA. Radon is not known to cause asthma or any other type of respiratory distress. Radon can be tested and measured (in picocuries per liter (pCi/L) of air) and there are estimated risks to health from the exposure depending on the concentration. EPA information on Radon found here.
Let our certified inspector check your home for radon.
Water Quality Testing
Contaminants in our water can lead to health issues, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders. Infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems may be at increased risk for becoming sick after drinking contaminated water. The CDC recommends testing your water every year.
Let our certified inspector test you water.
Mold Testing
Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects, or none at all. Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, exposure to molds can lead to symptoms such as stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes, or skin. Some people, such as those with allergies to molds or with asthma, may have more intense reactions.
Our certified inspector can perform a mold test to see if your home is harboring mold.
Termite Inspection
Wood-destroying insects can cause serious damage to the wooden structural components of a house. They can hide and go undetected for a long time, but there are many telltale signs for different species that indicate their presence. I’ll inspect your home for evidence of infestation now before it becomes an expensive problem later.
Our certified inspector is trained at finding wood destroying organisms.
