Builder-warranty inspection services.
Schedule your inspection before your warranty expires.
Just because your home or property is a new build doesn’t mean it doesn’t have problems. Schedule a builder’s warranty inspection at least 30 days before your one-year warranty expires. This allows you to request repairs and be sure any repairs are on the builder’s dime, not yours.
While many maintenance issues are due to age and use, many new buildings can also have defects or need repairs. Our professional inspectors can find issues others might miss thanks to our years of experience and state-of-the-art technology. You are entitled to use any inspector you choose and our inspections frequently find issues not found by city inspectors. For confidence and added peace-of-mind, you deserve an informed, unbiased second opinion.
Don’t let your builder’s warranty expire without an independent inspection. Schedule one with us today.

Structural Inspection
Get the foundation for extra confidence and check the structural integrity of your home. Highly recommended for older homes and homes with any visible signs of movement or cracking.
Wood Destroying Insect Inspection
We will provide an ODAFF1 form after inspection which is frequently required by the lender.
Sprinkler Inspection
Don’t let a convenient feature turn into a huge hassle. Save green and keep your lawn pristine. Let us check your sprinkler system to ensure proper operation.
Pool & Spa Inspection
Don’t get drowned by costly repairs. Pools and spas are lots of fun but they can be costly and are a potential safety concern. Have us take a look so you know the current conditions.
Mold Testing
Don’t let mold make you or your loved ones sick or damage your home. Highly recommended for homes with any moisture issues or suspicious staining.
Water Quality
Make sure your family’s drinking water is clean and safe. Let us test the water so you know if action is needed. Highly recommended for properties with well water.
Air-Duct Inspection
Deteriorating air ducts can prevent proper operation and can be costly. A duct inspection detects crushed ducts, moisture intrusion, rusting, and deterioration before they become big problems.
Sewer-Line Inspection
Main sewer-line issues can be expensive. Let us check for root intrusions, standing water, and clogs. Highly recommended for older properties, those with a history of clogged drains or trees near drain pipes.
Septic System Inspection
Keep your home’s septic system running smoothly. If your home is on a septic system, we highly recommend a septic inspection. We also recommend this as a routine inspection at least every two years.
Radon Gas Testing
Keep your family safe and make sure your home isn’t at risk for radon gas exposure. Highly recommended for homes with basements.
Level-Two Fireplace Inspection
Don’t run the risk of fire, smoke inhalation, or carbon monoxide poisoning. This comprehensive camera inspection is highly recommended for older homes, especially with wood-burning fireplaces.
