What Our Inspections Include
Roof & Attic
Our inspectors are trained to look closely at the roof and attic condition to identify any problem areas. Using an Eye Stick with GoPro Camera, our inspectors are able to safely inspect steep roofs with high elevation.
Foundation & Grading
Our inspectors are trained to look closely at the foundation and grading at the home to identify any concern areas that can lead to moisture penetration and mold growth.
Mechanical Systems
Our inspectors thoroughly evaluate all mechanical systems in the home including the Electrical Panel, HVAC, and Water Heater.
Appliances
Our inspectors will thoroughly inspect the appliances at the home and the laundry systems for proper operation and determine what repairs or adjustments will be needed to ensure they work to their full potential.
Plumbing
Your plumbing system is put through rigorous testing during a home inspection. Inspectors thoroughly evaluate and test the faucets, drains, traps, vent stacks and vent pipes to ensure that the plumbing systems are well-maintained and working correctly.
Electrical
During a home inspection, your inspector will thoroughly review the safety and functionality of your electrical system. The inspector will check the outlets, switches and GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupters) to ensure they are working as intended. Inspectors look for malfunctions or potential issues that may be a danger to residents.
Inspection Services

- Gutters, downspouts, and Drainage
Foundation walls, beams, joists, studs, and building Structure - Decks, Porches, exterior doors, gates, and fences

Basements and Crawl Spaces - Ceilings, Floors, and Walls

- Roofs; covering material, roof penetrations, chimneys, venting stacks, skylights, and areas of roof penetration with metal flashing to prevent water intrusion.
- Plumbing Systems; water supply and wastewater pipes
New Construction
The inspectors at NextDay Inspect® are State Certified New Residential Structure (NRS) for performing inspections on new construction properties. Home Inspectors at NextDay Inspect® are licensed by the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) and the Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation (DLLR).
The inspection will include checking the basement and crawl space to ensure that there is no problem with rainwater or excess moisture in these hard to reach areas.
There are four phases to the new home construction process.
• Foundation & Footing Inspection
• Pre-Drywall Inspection
• Final Walkthrough Inspection
•11th Month Warranty Inspection
Commercial
NextDay Inspect inspectors have the training, experience, and knowledge to perfectly inspect the commercial site.
The commercial property can be of any kind such as an office building, warehouse, industrial facility, retail store, and shop. From top to bottom, our inspectors will thoroughly go over every aspect of the property to give you the most detailed and accurate report. These include:
• Roofing
• Foundation
• Footing
• Drainage and Grading Around the Building
• Framing and Building Envelope
• Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
• Plumbing
• Vertical Transportation
• Electrical Systems
• Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging helps the inspector to uncover problems that aren’t always visible to the human eye. The thermal camera employs a process that translates the heat signature in your home on a gradient scale, ranging from bright red to dark blue. Higher temperatures will translate as red, while darker colors are triggered by lower temperatures in wet areas.
In analyzing these images, the inspector can detect sources of energy loss, pinpoint dangerous electrical hot spots, flue leaks in the chimney that can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, locate wood-destroying insects and detect moisture intrusion (which can be a catalyst for mold).
In short, thermal imaging can be an important preventative measure in protecting your home from potential hazards.
Environmental Services
Mold Testing
Mold is organic growth in the building, moisture is the main cause of mold presence in a building. Therefore, at NextDay Inspect we provide both services; moisture evaluation and mold detection:
- Moisture Evaluations: Using a moisture meter and infrared camera, the inspector can help identify active leaks or areas with the potential for water intrusion. We will provide recommendations on how to correct these high-risk areas and help you decide if mold sampling would be beneficial at this time.
- There are two classes of molding sampling;
(a) Swap & Bio-Tape
(b) Air Sampling
- Air samples can be taken in each of your areas of concern. Laboratory analysis will indicate the types and amount of mold spores in the air if any. Swab samples can also be taken of visible growth on surfaces. The lab results will confirm whether or not the growth is mold, and provide details on the specific type and amount.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring silicates. They have properties that make them useful for insulation or binding materials in buildings. When asbestos becomes damaged or disturbed, the asbestos fibers become airborne and can be inhaled. When inhaled, they enter the respiratory tracts and damage the lungs by leaving scars in the lung tissues.
We provide asbestos testing to determine whether a material in your home contains asbestos. Find more information here.
Radon is a radioactive gas that is known to cause severe health problems of which the most common is lung cancer. This gas can build up indoors, especially in the lower level of your home and put your family at risk.
At NextDay Inspect, we offer Radon testing and provide recommendations for remediation in the case that the level of Radon is above the safe levels as stated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to ensure that your property is safe.

When purchasing a property, it is always good to make sure to get a Wood Destroying Organism Inspection, or more commonly known, a termite inspection as they can cause major structural damage to the property. Our termite inspector will look for any current and previous signs of termite or other wood destroying organism in the property.

Pollutants commonly found in indoor air can cause many harmful effects, there is considerable uncertainty about what concentrations or periods of exposure are necessary to produce specific health problems. People also react very differently to exposure to indoor air pollutants. It is prudent to try to improve the indoor air quality in your home even if symptoms are not noticeable.

Water Quality testing will help determine if the water is safe to drink. Water quality has a profound effect on our health. We will also check for water turbidity, which is the clarity of the water. Please find more information here.
Water flow at a residential property is an important measure to provide comfortable living while preserving a precious resource. Inadequate water flow may lead to frustration and upset or unsanitary living conditions, while excessive water flow might lead to wasted water unnecessarily.
We offer electromagnetic field testing or EMF for short. EMF looks for exposure to high and low electromagnetic fields.
The most common sources for high electromagnetic fields include proximity to power lines, transformers or appliances, and flaws in the internal building’s wiring system and stray currents on utility pipes. Exposure to high levels of EMF can cause serious health issues. We use the latest technology to help you detect where there are high levels of EMF in your house.
