Environmental Testing: Radon, Mold & Pests
Protect Your Investment with a Professional WDI Inspection
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.

Beyond the physical structure, our inspections cover the environmental health of the home. Here is the risk profile for Barberton:
Radon Levels: The local risk level is considered High. We strongly recommend testing, as radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
Mold Concerns: Given the local climate, the risk of mold is High.
Wood Destroying Insects: We inspect for signs of damage from Moderate, which are active in this region.
Certified Mold Testing & Indoor Air Quality in Barberton
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 Barberton 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.
Surface mold is just the tip of the iceberg. Since you breathe the air, not the walls, air quality testing is the most important step in any mold inspection.
