Seven tests for what a walkthrough cannot show you, plus the termite inspection that is usually booked alongside them. Each is booked on its own or added to a home inspection visit, and the questions further down help if you are not sure which one fits.
Every test here can be booked by itself. Most people add them to a home inspection instead, so the whole property is covered in one appointment.
We test and report. We do not sell the remediation. No one here earns anything from a result coming back high.
Start from what you noticed rather than the test name. A musty smell points at mold, a basement bedroom at radon, stuffiness and headaches at air quality, and a well at water quality. If more than one fits, say so when you book and we will scope the visit.
Yes, and that is how most of them are done. Adding a test to an inspection keeps it to one appointment and one visit to the property.
The physical sample, an air cassette or a water or material sample, is analyzed by an independent accredited laboratory rather than by the person who collected it. The laboratory result is what appears in your report.
No. We do not do remediation, mitigation, abatement or water treatment, and we take no referral fee from the companies that do. That is deliberate: the result should not be written by anyone who profits from it.
No. A home inspection is visual and non-invasive, and it will not tell you the radon level, the spore count or whether a material contains asbestos. Those come only from a test.
