Home Inspection
$475A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual assessment of a home's condition designed to identify existing or potential issues. During the home inspection, I evaluate the roof and drainage systems, structure and foundation, exterior finishes including decks and porches, the electrical system, plumbing, heating and cooling, interior finishes, as well as the basement and/or crawlspace, attic space, and garage/carport.
*Price is based on homes up to 2,500 sq ft.

Additional Services
Lateral Sewer Line Inspection
A lateral sewer line inspection involves a video assessment of the main sewer line extending from your home to either the municipal line or septic tank (please note that I do not inspect the septic tank itself). This inspection aims to identify issues such as cracked or damaged pipes, root intrusion, and clogging. After the inspection, you will receive a detailed report that includes pictures and/or video of any issues found, along with recommendations.
*Price applicable if conducted alongside a home inspection. Contact for standalone pricing.
