We Find Insulation Issues in Summit County

Infrared thermography is a powerful tool that sets us apart from other home inspectors in Summit County. It works by visualizing thermal variances resulting from evaporation or leaks. Our team can spot pipe leaks behind walls, roofing leaks, or moisture intrusion around windows long before they become visible to the unaided eye. It also helps us locate inadequate insulation by “observing” where heat is escaping or entering through walls and ceilings, exposing gaps that a traditional inspection might overlook. In addition to insulation, thermal imaging identifies energy loss by imaging air leaks entering through gaps around windows, doors, and attic hatches, highlighting precisely where weatherstripping is required. Additionally, it can detect rodent activity by spotting heat from active colonies or cold spots left 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.

Summit 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 Summit 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.

Protect your loved ones from this invisible threat.

Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Our region, including areas of Cuyahoga, Summit, and Lake counties, has a reputation for potentially elevated radon levels. Our team offers professional 48-hour continuous radon monitoring to verify your home is under the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Bundle a radon test to your home inspection for total peace of mind.
