A follow-up residential home re-inspection is a detailed review conducted after the initial home inspection to verify that previously identified issues have been addressed and resolved. This inspection ensures that repairs or improvements were completed properly and meet safety and quality standards. It is important because it provides buyers and homeowners with confidence that the property is in good condition, reduces the risk of unexpected problems, and helps protect their investment. By confirming that necessary corrections have been made, a re-inspection offers peace of mind and supports informed decision-making during the home buying or maintenance process.
Detached garages and outbuildings are not covered under the Standards of Practice (SOP) of a standard home inspections, yet they can hide serious issues like structural damage, roof leaks, electrical hazards, or water intrusion. Having these structures professionally inspected protects your investment, uncovers costly problems before they escalate, and ensures the safety of your property. Don’t overlook these important spaces—an inspection gives you peace of mind and a clearer picture of your entire property’s condition.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, which means the only way to know if a home has elevated radon levels is through testing. Radon can enter properties through foundation cracks, construction joints, gaps around pipes, sump pits, and other openings, and it can accumulate to high levels indoors—particularly in basements and lower levels. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) as the recommended action level for mitigation, though any exposure carries some risk. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause overall.
For home buyers, home sellers and real estate professionals, radon testing is an important part of due diligence during a transaction. Elevated radon levels can be addressed effectively with professionally installed mitigation systems, which can reduce indoor concentrations by up to 99%. Because any home—new or old, with or without a basement—can have a radon issue, testing provides valuable information, protects client health, and supports informed decision-making. Proactive testing and mitigation can help avoid unexpected delays during closing and demonstrate a clear commitment to health, safety, and transparency throughout the transaction process.
Well water quality testing is an ancillary inspection service designed to evaluate the safety and condition of a private water supply. Unlike municipal water systems, private wells are not regulated or routinely monitored, making regular testing the responsibility of the property owner. This service helps identify potentially harmful contaminants such as bacteria (including E. coli and coliform) and other naturally occurring or environmental pollutants that can pose serious health risks. Testing provides peace of mind by confirming that the water is safe for drinking, cooking, and bathing, and it is often recommended or required during real estate transactions to ensure the water supply meets acceptable standards. Regular testing can also detect developing issues early, helping prevent costly damage to plumbing systems and water treatment equipment. Because groundwater quality can be affected by factors such as flooding, nearby construction, septic system problems, or agricultural activity, annual testing—or more frequent testing when concerns arise—is an important step in protecting both occupant health and property value.

A termite inspection is a thorough examination of a property by a licensed pest control professional to identify signs of termite activity, damage, and conducive conditions. It typically includes a visual inspection of accessible areas of the structure, including basements, crawl spaces, and attics, and may be required for real estate transactions or preventative maintenance.
