🏠 Home Inspections

What does a home inspection include?
Our home inspections cover all major systems and components, including the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, and exterior. We also look for safety issues, defects, and maintenance needs.

How long does a home inspection take?
Most home inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property.

Will I get a report?
Yes! You’ll receive a digital, easy-to-read report with photos and detailed notes—typically within 24 hours of the inspection.

Should I attend the inspection?
We encourage clients to attend the end of the inspection to go over a verbal summary of findings! It’s a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the property.

🏢 Commercial Inspections

What types of commercial properties do you inspect?
We inspect a wide range of commercial buildings, including office spaces, warehouses, retail centers, multi-family housing, medical facilities, and more.

What’s included in a commercial inspection?
Our commercial inspections evaluate structural integrity, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and interior/exterior systems. We also offer optional services like radon testing, thermal imaging, mold testing, and WDI inspections.

Do you follow industry standards?
Yes, our inspections follow CCPIA commercial inspection standards, ensuring thorough and consistent evaluations.

🌡️ Infrared Thermal Imaging

What is thermal imaging?
Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to detect heat variations. It helps identify hidden issues like moisture intrusion, insulation problems, electrical hotspots, and HVAC inefficiencies.

Is thermal imaging included with every inspection?
It’s available as an add-on to commercial inspections. We recommend it for commercial properties with suspected leaks, energy loss, or electrical concerns.

Is thermal imaging invasive?
No! It’s completely non-invasive and doesn’t require opening walls or damaging surfaces.

🐜 WDI (Wood-Destroying Insect) Inspections

What is a WDI inspection?
A WDI inspection—also called a termite inspection—looks for evidence of wood-destroying insects like termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles.

Are WDI inspections required for real estate transactions?
Often, yes. Many lenders require an NPMA-33 WDI inspection report before closing, especially for VA and FHA loans.

Do you offer WDI inspections for commercial properties?
Absolutely. We provide WDI inspections for both residential and commercial buildings throughout Central Kentucky.

☢️ Radon Testing

What is radon, and why should I test for it?
Radon is a radioactive gas that naturally occurs in soil and rock. It can enter buildings through cracks and openings in the foundation. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels is the second leading cause of lung cancer.

Is radon common in Central Kentucky?
Yes, Central Kentucky is known for moderate to high radon levels, making testing essential for both homes and commercial buildings.

How is radon testing performed?
We place EPA-approved radon monitors in the lowest livable level of the property and analyze the results after 48 hours.

Do you offer radon testing for commercial properties?
Yes! We offer short-term radon testing for offices, schools, apartment complexes, and other commercial buildings.

🌬️ Air Quality & Mold Testing

Why should I test for mold or poor air quality?
Poor indoor air quality and hidden mold growth can affect health—especially in properties with moisture issues, past water damage, or musty odors. Testing provides peace of mind and can guide remediation if needed.

What does your mold testing include?
We perform air sampling and/or surface sampling and send the samples to a certified lab for analysis. You’ll receive a detailed report identifying mold types and spore levels.

Is mold testing just for homes?
Not at all—we offer mold and air quality testing for commercial buildings too, including offices, warehouses, and multi-unit properties.
