Attempting to sell a home without a current grasp of its condition can lead to unexpected stress during the process. Our inspection service aims to furnish you with a detailed report on any property shortcomings, enabling you to keep potential buyers well-informed and facilitate smooth negotiations.

During our New Construction Inspection, we assess residential properties before the builder’s final walkthrough. Our goal is to pinpoint any possible defects or errors that may have occurred during the construction process, empowering potential buyers to address required repairs or maintenance prior to the final closing.

Our inspection service offers the option to assess new home construction at various stages. You have the flexibility to choose the number of phases you want the inspection to include, but usually, we recommend inspecting the property four times. These four stages are pre-framing, post-installation of the plumbing and electrical systems, after the interior is complete, and before the builder’s final walkthrough.

Our inspection service helps to ensure that new home construction adheres to the original loan agreement. Firstly, we’ll review the terms approved by the lender, including the disbursement of funds and timelines. Then, we’ll visit the property during various phases of construction, evaluating current progress and materials stored on-site to ensure compliance with the agreed terms. This way, we keep the new home construction in check and prevent any potential violations.

When we conduct an initial inspection of a property, it’s common for us to identify one or more defects in the home’s construction that need to be addressed. If the seller agrees to rectify these issues, we can perform a re-inspection at a later date to verify whether the repairs have been made correctly. This gives you the assurance you need to confidently proceed with the final purchase of the property.

As certified septic inspectors in the state of Maine, we have the expertise to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of a property’s septic system. If you’re considering purchasing a waterfront property, state regulations mandate that a septic inspection must be completed prior to finalizing any real estate transaction. Our inspection involves using advanced cameras to examine the septic lines, assessing the septic tank’s integrity, and conducting a hydraulic load test on the septic field with a specialized dye to detect any underlying problems.

Our Radon Testing service utilizes Sun Nuclear Corporation 1028 monitor to measure the levels of radon gas in a home. Radon is a colorless and odorless gas that originates naturally underground and has been strongly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. Without conducting a Radon Test, it’s impossible to know for sure whether or not the prospective home is affected by this gas.

As part of our inspection service, we will collect water samples from both the home’s tap and the well that supplies water to the property. These samples will be sent to a reliable local laboratory to be tested for various potential contaminants that you should know about before making a final decision to purchase the home.

Our inspection service is designed to detect the presence of airborne mold particles in a home, which can potentially harm the health of occupants. In the event that mold is detected, we’ll work towards identifying the type of mold as well as the source of the issue, so that the appropriate measures can be taken for its removal.

It’s crucial to schedule an inspection service to ensure that the air quality of a home is safe for occupancy. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can pose significant health risks, and they’re not always easy to detect without professional assistance. Therefore, it’s important to engage a professional to conduct VOC testing prior to closing on a home.

It’s important to be certain that your prospective home has a dependable source of water, and our inspection service will provide the necessary assurance. We conduct a test to evaluate the strength of water flow from the property’s well, which enables us to determine if the well is at risk of running dry within a certain period of time.
