We Look For Insulation Issues And Common Heating Defects That Can Cost You Money

Thermal imaging is a valuable tool that differentiates us from other inspection companies in Akron. It works by detecting thermal variances resulting from evaporation or leaks. Our team can spot pipe leaks behind walls, roof leaks, or moisture intrusion near windows well before they become visible to the naked eye. It also helps us locate missing or damaged insulation by “observing” where heat is escaping or entering through walls and ceilings, revealing gaps that a traditional inspection would miss. In addition to insulation, thermal imaging pinpoints energy loss by imaging air leaks infiltrating through gaps around windows, doors, and attic hatches, showing exactly where weatherstripping is needed. Finally, it can uncover rodent activity by detecting warmth from active colonies or cool voids created where insulation has been displaced by rodents.

WDI (Termite) Inspections for VA Loans, Refinancing, and Peace of Mind

Many FHA, VA, and HUD loans require a Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection before closing. Our licensed inspectors check for termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and other WDIs common in Ohio. We are licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and provide the official Ohio NPMA-33 form required by lenders.

Northeast Ohio Mold Inspections & Air Quality Testing

Suspect mold? Unexplained allergies or musty odors can be a sign of hidden mold growth. Mold can negatively affect your health and your home’s structural integrity. Our Northeast Ohio mold inspection team uses professional surface and air sampling (spore trap) tests to identify hidden mold, assess your indoor air quality (IAQ), and provide a clear report on any issues found.

It would be nice if finding mold were this easy. Most mold is microscopic, and it is a danger when it is in the air, not necessarily when it is visible on surfaces. Only lab testing can confirm the presence or absesnce of mold.

Protect your household from this colorless, odorless gas!.

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Our region, including areas of Cuyahoga, Summit, and Lake counties, is prone to potentially elevated radon levels. Our team offers professional 48-hour continuous radon monitoring to confirm your home is under the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Bundle a radon test with your home inspection for total peace of mind.
