Environmental Testing: Radon, Mold & Pests
Certified Wood-Destroying Insect Inspections for Home Buyers
To satisfy lender requirements for FHA or VA financing, we provide thorough wood-destroying insect (WDI) screenings. We look for active infestations of termites and ants common to the Ohio region. You will receive a completed NPMA-33 form from an inspector licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Beyond the physical structure, our inspections cover the environmental health of the home. Here is the risk profile for Lakewood:
- Radon Levels: The local risk level is considered High. We strongly recommend testing, as radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
