Our Services
Residential Home and Thermal Imaging Inspection
Our residential home inspection provides a comprehensive visual evaluation of the home’s major systems and structural components. The purpose of the inspection is to identify material defects, safety concerns, and maintenance issues that may affect the property’s performance, value, or longevity.
During the inspection, we evaluate:
- Roofing systems and visible roof components
- Exterior surfaces, grading, drainage, and attached structures
- Foundation and structural components
- Electrical system and main service equipment
- Plumbing system and visible supply, drain, and vent components
- Heating and cooling systems
- Attic, insulation, and ventilation (when accessible)
- Interior rooms, ceilings, walls, floors, windows, and doors
- Attached garages
Every inspection follows the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and is performed as a thorough visual assessment of accessible areas at the time of the inspection.
Thermal Imaging Included
Thermal imaging is included as part of every home inspection at no additional charge. Infrared scanning allows us to identify temperature variations that may indicate hidden moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, air leakage, or overheating electrical components.
When irregularities are detected, additional tools such as moisture meters are used to further evaluate the condition. Thermal imaging enhances the inspection by helping identify potential concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Clear, Detailed Reporting
After the inspection, you will receive a detailed digital report typically within 24 hours. The report includes clear descriptions and photographs documenting our findings so you can better understand the condition of the property and make informed decisions.
Pre-Listing Inspections
A pre-listing home inspection, performed by reputable home inspectors, is conducted before putting a property on the market to identify potential issues or defects. Reasons to get a pre-listing inspection include uncovering hidden problems, allowing the seller to make repairs or adjust pricing accordingly, reducing the risk of surprises during the buyer's inspection, and improving the property's appeal. By consulting our Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque and Waterloo home inspectors, sellers can take a proactive approach that can lead to a smoother transaction process, potentially higher offers, and a faster sale by instilling confidence in buyers and minimizing negotiation delays or deal breakers. Home inspectors in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Dubuque and Waterloo can provide valuable insights that further enhance the selling experience.
Radon Testing
Our radon testing service measures indoor radon levels to help identify whether elevated concentrations are present within the home. Testing is performed using professional-grade equipment and follows established testing protocols to provide reliable results. Radon testing is commonly recommended during real estate transactions and offers valuable information about indoor air quality and potential health risks.
WDI Inspection
Our Wood Destroying Insect inspection evaluates the property for visible evidence of termites and other wood-destroying insects that can compromise structural components. The inspection focuses on accessible areas of the home and is performed in accordance with applicable standards to help identify current or past activity that may require further evaluation or treatment. This service is commonly requested during real estate transactions and provides added peace of mind regarding the condition of the structure.
Mold Testing
Our mold testing service evaluates indoor air and selected surfaces for the presence of potential biological growth. Airborne and contact samples are collected as appropriate and analyzed by a qualified laboratory to help identify mold types and concentrations. This testing provides useful information about indoor air quality and conditions that may warrant further evaluation or corrective action.
