Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. Radon gas is inert, colorless and odorless. Breathing radon over time increases your risk of lung cancer.

During a short-term Radon test we will attend the home and set up a commercial grade Radon detection monitor for a duration of 96 hours (min).

Upon completion of the test a digital report will be sent to you and also be included with the home inspection report.
A quote for mitigation is also provided if mitigation is recommended. This is a useful tool when negotiating with the Home Seller as you will be able to accurately include this cost in the negotiation

Sewer Scope

Standard home inspections do not cover the structural integrity or condition of sewer and drainage line systems. With a video camera inspection on your sewer line, you’ll be able to know if your sewer lines are being compromised by: tree roots, debris, broken drain lines, clogs, sewer pipe misalignment. If there is a sewer problem identified with your video sewer inspection, you can negotiate to get it fixed before you move in or to take the cost of repairs out of the home purchase price
