Buyer’s Inspection
A professional home inspection is a thorough evaluation of your home, documented in a written report. District Home Inspection will visually inspect the accessible structures, systems and components of the home, from foundation to the roofline, and provide you with a detailed report to help you fully understand the home’s current condition. Having all the information and documentation will help you make the best decision for you and your family.
Radon Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, and colorless radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rocks, and water. Radon is dangerous. It is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to the EPA. Protect your family’s health with a non-invasive 48-hour radon test from District Home Inspection. Scott is a radon testing specialist. He is certified by the National Radon Safety Board (NSRB), to measure radon levels in your home.
Home Maintenance Inspection
Maintaining the value of your home so your investment stays protected is always the best decision. By having a professional inspector perform routine examinations of your home you can accomplish just that. The inspector will alert you to any major issues that need immediate repair as well as what may be a more expensive fix down the line. Our reports will give you all the information you need to keep your property in the best shape possible.
Pre-listing / Seller’s Inspection
Don’t be surprised by items a buyer’s inspection may find! A pre-listing inspection is performed prior to the home being listed on the market. A thorough inspection will inform you of maintenance, repairs, or refurbishments that may need to be completed before selling. The inspection will also help ease negotiations so you can close quicker with potential buyers.
