Common Heating Defects That Can Save Money in Lake County

Infrared thermography is a highly effective tool that sets us apart from other inspection companies in Lake County. It works by seeing heat signatures caused by evaporation or leaks. Our team can locate plumbing leaks inside walls, roofing leaks, or water infiltration near windows long before they become visible to the unaided eye. It also allows us to find inadequate insulation by “seeing” where heat is escaping or entering through walls and ceilings, exposing gaps that a standard inspection would miss. Beyond insulation, thermal imaging pinpoints drafts by imaging air leaks infiltrating through cracks around windows, doors, and attic hatches, highlighting exactly where sealing is needed. Furthermore, it can detect rodent activity by detecting heat from nests or cold spots created where insulation has been displaced by pests.

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.

Lake County 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 Lake County 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.

Safeguard your loved ones from this colorless, odorless gas.

Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Northeast Ohio, specifically in Cuyahoga, Summit, and Lake counties, is known for high radon levels. We use calibrated 48-hour continuous radon monitoring to confirm your property is under the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Bundle a radon test to your home inspection for complete peace of mind.
