Home inspection description
This is a visual inspection of the property, which includes the following areas:
A "visual" inspection means that the inspector evaluates only the areas of the property that are accessible and visible at the time of the inspection. This excludes parts of the home that are hidden by walls, ceilings, or floors, as well as areas that are inaccessible due to reasons such as locked access points, blocked access, or dangerous or unsanitary conditions.
If any part of the home cannot be inspected due to these or other limitations, the inspector is not responsible for determining the condition or functionality of those areas. The inspector can only report on what is visible and accessible during the inspection.

Sewer inspection
A trained and skilled technician uses a flexible rod with a high-resolution video camera at its tip to inspect pipes ranging from 2 to 36 inches in diameter. The flexibility of the rod enables the camera to navigate through the pipe, even around corners, providing a full view of the interior. Real-time video transmission allows the technician to assess the condition of the pipe and identify any existing or potential issues. The footage is captured and saved, creating a permanent record for future reference.
Radon test
Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the United States. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation.
Sewer line jetting
Sewer jetting is a method of cleaning out sewers and drain lines by using high-pressure water streams through specialized jetting nozzles to dislodge and clear obstructions, as well as perform regular maintenance to prevent sewage backups. Regardless of whether the location is residential or a larger municipality, sewer jetting is vital to keeping storm drains and sewer lines in peak condition, helping prevent damage and mitigate further deterioration of the sewers
