Walk-Through Inspection
Walk-Through inspections are a visual inspection of a property prior to the buyer putting in an offer. 
This visual walk-through allows the buyer to ask questions about the homes systems and get a good snap shot of the home condition before the expense of a Full Home Inspection. It will include visual inspection of the following areas:
Roof condition
Exterior condition- Decks, Porches, Walkways, Stairways, and Railings - Grading and Drainage. 
Basement / Foundation condition - presence of moisture 
HVAC System
Plumbing System
Electrical System
Interior
Attached/detached Garages
Mold & Pest

Radon Testing
Radon is a known carcinogen that forms from the decomposition of certain types of rock and soil deep underground. Once formed, radon is released as a gas that can sometimes escape from the ground’s surface—posing a threat if it manages to mix with the air circulating through a home. Radon is odorless and invisible, making it extremely difficult to detect. I have the training and instruments necessary to test your home for the presence of radon, ensuring that you and your family are safe from this naturally-occurring hazard.
