Our Services
Home Inspection Services in Greenville & Upstate SC
From standard buyer inspections to specialized testing, we offer a complete range of services across Upstate South Carolina.
Buyer's Home Inspection
A comprehensive, "no stone unturned" inspection covering roof, foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, attic, crawlspace, and all installed systems. We confirm the seller's disclosure and uncover anything missing.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Know your home's condition before you list. We identify issues upfront so you can address them, price confidently, and avoid last-minute surprises, helping you get the top-dollar offers you deserve.
CL-100 Wood Infestation
Required by most South Carolina lenders. We inspect for termites, wood-boring beetles, and moisture damage, ensuring your transaction stays on track and your investment is protected.
Radon Testing
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. Our certified radon testing delivers accurate results so you can protect your family's health before and after closing.
Water & Air Quality Testing
Ensure your drinking water is safe and your indoor air is free of harmful contaminants. We offer water quality and air quality monitoring so you can move in with complete confidence.
Limited Septic Inspection
For properties with private septic systems, our limited septic inspection identifies visible concerns and gives you a clear understanding of the system's condition before purchase.
Thermal Imagery
Our infrared thermal imaging detects hidden moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, electrical hot spots, and HVAC inefficiencies invisible to the naked eye, giving you a deeper picture of your home's true condition.
