What Home Inspection Services do we offer?

Home Inspection Services

• General Home Inspection

General Home Inspection

This is your standard, run-of-the-mill inspection, the type everyone thinks of when they hear “home inspection.” Buying a home? This is your inspection. Selling a home? This is your inspection. But here’s something that will really bake your noodle… Been in the home for more than 5 years? This is also your inspection. That’s right, your home and all the equipment in it are constantly wearing and tearing. A home inspection for an existing owner lets them organize and prioritize their to-do list.

Electrical

The investor inspection is not meant for those planning to use the property as their main residence.

Annual inspections

For the proactive homeowner. This inspection is an abbreviated assessment, limited in scope, intended to make sure the homeowner stays current with the home’s condition. Annual inspections, as the name implies, are performed once per year and must follow a General Home Inspection, performed by Realm.

Add-on Services

• Sewer Scope Inspection

Sewer Scope Inspection

Your main sewer lateral may be harboring some hidden secrets that could prove financially devastating. These problems lurk beneath the surface and carry substantial repair or replacement costs, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. And here’s the catch: your insurance policy likely won’t provide any coverage for it! A sewer scope inspection serves as a proactive safeguard against unforeseen financial burdens. Choose our Sewer Scope Inspection add-on service, an invaluable option to your home inspection.

• Radon Testing

Radon Testing

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking. Not to scare you, but Radon really is becoming a big deal. Where is radon? Everywhere, both in the air and in the water. It’s a naturally occurring gas found around the globe. It comes from the soil and is virtually undetectable, at least to our senses. Studies have proven its negative health effects. The EPA also says there is no safe exposure limit. Make sure the air you breathe in your home and the water you drink are safe. Radon testing is included with our Air Quality Inspection and is included with ALL of our Package inspection options. Specific radon water testing can also be requested. And don’t worry, if your radon levels are high, there are ways to fix them to keep you and your family safe.

Schedule Now

• Termite & Pest Inspection

Termite and Pest Inspections

Termites and other wood-destroying pests are responsible for over $3 billion in damage annually with the average home mitigation and repair bill near $3,300 each. We partner with local experts to provide Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) required by some lenders and insurers. And wouldn’t you know it, most homeowner policies do not provide protection for pest damage.

Schedule Now

• Mold Inspection & Testing

Mold Inspections

Mold is everywhere. But conditions in the home control its growth. If mold is allowed to take up residence in your home, you’ll want to figure out why, and then get it out as soon as possible. We offer two options for mold inspection and testing, Complete and Limited. A Complete mold inspection includes a full home assessment and air sampling. Limited is intended for direct sampling of a specific area of concern. A complete mold inspection is also part of our Air Quality Inspection which includes Radon testing.

Schedule Now

• Water Quality Testing

Water Quality Testing

Everyone should have their water tested at least once a year. Regardless of whether you are on public or private water systems, you’ll want to get your water tested. Changes to the environment and geological conditions can influence the chemical makeup of the water we drink. We offer testing panels for all kinds of scenarios. Did you just build a home or move into one with a well, then you should make this a priority. We have panels for private wells, city public works, and tests to qualify for VA, FHA, and USDA loan funding.

Schedule Now

• Septic Inspection

Septic System Inspections

Mmm, septic systems. Sometimes just the mention of it makes you cringe. Septics are easy to use yet also very easy to break. They are cheap to maintain, but astronomically expensive to repair. Be that as it may, wastewater systems are major components that require special licensing to inspect. Lucky for you we hold those licenses. Some inspectors offer dye tests… dye tests are not septic inspections, so ask around to see what others are offering. We’ll do the dirty work to confirm your system is functioning as it was designed.

Schedule Now

• Advanced Well Inspection

Well Inspections

Private wells are meant to provide an adequate source of water to your home. We confirm the system is operating as intended and will provide a sufficient supply of water for you and your family. We check the pressure tank pre-charge & draw-down, switch cut-in and cut-out settings, flow rate, and include a basic water quality test.

Schedule Now

• Pool & Spa Inspection

Pool & Spa Inspections

Inground or Above-ground pools and spas require ongoing maintenance to provide years of entertainment for the family. They’re like little houses that include some of the same systems to function correctly… you just can’t live in them… unless you ask our kids. Digressing, we check for all visible and readily accessible safety hazards. We inspect the electrical, plumbing, structure, filtration, and heating systems.

Schedule Now

• Single System Assessment

Single System Assessments

Don’t feel like ponying up the money for a full inspection? Or are you wanting to have an evaluation of a system you suspect is about to go kaput? Either way, we offer single-system assessments for just those reasons. Want to know if your roof is on its way out without having to deal with the hard sale from a contractor? Yeah, me neither. We’ll give you an unbiased opinion on the status of the system you choose without selling you something you don’t need. Our single system assessments apply to either the roof, exterior, interior, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or a thermal evaluation.

Don’t forget our Add-on and Standalone Services
