RADON TESTING
While not required, a radon test is a good idea to find out if there are excessive levels of this toxic gas in a home. It’s important to have a certified inspector perform an EPA-approved test to evaluate a property for the presence of radon.
SEPTIC TESTING
If you’re part of the 25 percent of Americans whose home relies on a septic system, it’s good sense to have it inspected. Since the tank and pipes are underground, only a qualified home inspector can tell you if the system is in proper working order, potentially saving you costly repairs.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
A home inspection is an excellent tool in a preventative maintenance plan. An experienced inspector can help point out maintenance issues and potential problems, which can be especially helpful for owners of older homes, or homes that have been extensively remodeled.
