Home Inspection
A professional home inspection is extremely important, particularly since a home is often the largest investment people make. To protect your investment, professional consultants provide a general evaluation of the home—a visual inspection from roof to foundation. Consultants objectively identify material defects in the systems, structures and components of the home, in adherence to or exceeding national, state, and industry regulations and standards.

Newly constructed homes typically carry only a one-year builder's warranty. Once that first year expires, who knows what kind of expensive, "surprise" repairs and expenses you might encounter. Our First Year Anniversary Inspection, a detailed, visual evaluation of your home, can help you find out how your home has aged during its first year. Moreover, our experienced, professional local consultants provide information on the proper care and operation of your home's major systems. Think of it as an owner's manual for the most important investment you will likely ever make. Protect your new home and your investment by having a First Year Anniversary Inspection performed before your builder's warranty expires. Click here for more information.
Radon Testing
Radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer, is a radioactive gas emitted from the ground that may seep into the home. U.S. Inspect’s Continuous Monitor Radon Testing program boasts unrivaled accuracy and uses the most advanced electronic radon measurement instruments in the industry. Compared to other radon measurement devices that collect only one radon sample per hour, our tamper-resistant machines collect samples every 15 minutes. U.S. Inspect’s continuous radon monitor has consistently tested within 3 to 4 percent of the Environmental Protection Agency’s generous accuracy requirement of 25 percent.
SeptiCheck
Available in most areas, this is the most comprehensive review of a septic system, waste management specialists evaluate the inner mechanics of the septic system—the tank’s interior structure, drainage lines, tank and absorption areas—to protect you against repair or replacement costs that are often in excess of $20,000. SeptiCheck reveals small or developing septic system defects—and that means you can head them off before they become significant and expensive. (Call for availability in your area).
Termite Inspection (and other wood-destroying insects and organisms)
Termite inspections, a component of U.S. Inspect’s larger Wood Destroying Insect and Wood Destroying Organism (WDI/WDO) inspection program, evaluate the presence of WDI/WDO in a home. State-certified consultants provide homebuyers with accurate and detailed WDI/WDO inspection reports that use simple, consistent terms and are easy to understand.
