Life Is Just Better On Easy Street

Mold detection is the process of identifying and evaluating mold growth in an existing home or building. This type of inspection typically involves a visual inspection of the property and testing the air, both inside and outside, for the presence of mold and bacteria. The results of the tests can then be used to help the homeowner or property manager to determine whether or not mold remediation should be done.

Water sampling refers to the process of collecting water samples from a home's plumbing system during a home inspection. The water samples are then tested for the presence of contaminants such as bacteria, lead, or other harmful substances that could pose a health risk to the occupants of the home.

Radon testing is a testing procedure for measuring the concentration of radon gas in a residential home. Radon testing involves placing a radon detector in the lowest livable area of a home. The detector measures the concentration of radon over a period of time and then provides feedback to the inspector. Radon is a radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes, and exposure to it can increase the risk of cancer. Homeowners are encouraged to have their homes tested for radon in order to reduce their exposure to the gas.

Infrared scanning, also known as thermal imaging, is a non-invasive and non-destructive method used by home inspectors to detect temperature differences on surfaces within a home. During a home inspection, the infrared camera is used to identify areas of the home that may have temperature differences that could indicate potential issues, such as air leaks, insulation deficiencies, electrical problems, and moisture intrusion.
