New doesn’t always mean perfect. If you’re the first-ever occupant of your brand-new home, you have specific inspection needs before moving in. Many homebuyers choose this inspection to be done in phases, including slab, frame, and final review. Our service will protect your purchase, prevent unexpected surprises, and ensure a quality build from the ground up.
Most new home builds come with a builder’s warranty that last one year. We check for everything covered under warranty before it expires so you can properly submit repair needs to your builder. We recommend having your home inspected during the 11th month to take advantage of your warranty guarantee.

SEWER SYSTEM INSPECTIONS
Although nobody wants to think about their sewer line, the consequences of ignoring your system can be devastating. Our sewer system inspection is a routine maintenance check of your sewer system that checks for the following:
- Clogged Pipes
- Natural Wear & Tear
- Leaking Pipes
- Rodent & Animal Infestations
With most plumbing issues, prevention is key. Replacing and repairing damaged sewer systems can be one of the most expensive and dirty plumbing jobs you’ll encounter. Skip the mess, and let us do the rest.
It’s easy to take the water that comes into and out of our homes for granted. The truth is that it’s hard to tell just by looking if your home’s water supply is healthy to consume. We offer water quality testing to analyze for particulates, minerals, and disease-causing bacteria.
Radon is an odorless, colorless gas that naturally occurs in most North Carolina soils. It is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. We perform EPA-recommended radon testing to determine whether or not you are being exposed to harmful levels of radon within your home or business.
MOLD TESTING
Mold is commonly caused by water damage and often starts in places unseen: behind walls, under floorboards, and in dark corners of basements and crawlspaces. Given optimal conditions, mold will grow quickly and pose serious health risks to you and your loved ones. We offer non-invasive inspections to pinpoint water damage and mold growth in your home. If not rectified, mold can cause substantial damage to your home’s structural integrity.
WDI/TERMITE INSPECTIONS
Termites and other wood-destroying organisms cause millions of dollars of damage per year to buildings across North Carolina. Our inspectors are registered pest control technicians through the N.C. Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control Division. We are affiliated with Cooper Pest Control to provide wood-destroying insect reports (WDIR) required by many mortgage lenders. Protect your investment today before they cause irreparable damage tomorrow.
