Pre-purchase or Pre-rental Inspections
"I didn't know this service was available. Everyone should have this done when buying a house," said one of our clients. Another man, learning of the service, commented, "I wouldn't buy a house without it. This is just common sense." (My comment: Would there were trained inspectors in all areas!)
The main investigations at a pre-purchase inspection are EMFs (especially radiation from power lines, because these rarely can be changed after you are in a house), screening for stray voltage in the yard and on the electrical grounding system, risk assessment for mold (including on-site screening with a microscope), check for gas leaks, check for lead solder in the water pipes, and possibly screening for lead.
Includes:
| Magnetic field survey, power lines, perimeter of house and property, inside house | |
| Measurement of current on water service supply pipe and recommendations for correction if needed | |
| On-site surface sampling for mold | |
| Air sampling for mold | |
| Check for natural gas leaks and carbon monoxide | |
| (optional) Screening for lead paint and lead solder
