Radon Testing

Radon is an odorless, invisible and dangerous gas that may be present in any home no matter the age of the home. Our certified radon testing inspectors understand the Minnesota Radon Measurement Law and also follow EPA-recommended testing guidelines. Radon levels can vary house to house even in the same neighborhood, so we suggest adding radon testing to your scheduled home inspection. You can also schedule a radon test without an inspection.

Sewer Scope

Did you know in our area, all homeowners are responsible for line repairs from the house to the street? We recommend a sewer scope with each home inspection or contact us to schedule one without an inspection. sewer scope inspections provide a professional video inspection of the home’s main drain line to determine if there are broken or collapsed pipes, offset or sagged sections, or blockage from tree roots. Sewer scopes are recommended for homes built before the 1980’s but even new homes can have issues too and should be inspected to avoid high costs to repairs and sewage back up into the home!

Plan to arrive at the start of the last hour of the inspection for your Review. That will allow ample time, approximately 30 to 45 min, to discuss the inspector’s findings and get your questions answered.

Please limit attendees to decision-makers only. For example, you and your agent. If you wish to include immediate family members such as children or parents, please keep the group as small as possible to make the most out of your time with the inspector. We are guests in the home and not able to accommodate large groups. If you want a contractor or others (such as friends or extended family) to see the property, you will need to set up a separate time through your agent. Many folks schedule it immediately after the inspection to make it a seamless process.

No, the seller is not required to fix any problems identified. The purpose of the inspection is simply to inform you of the condition of the property, with the primary emphasis on major systems.

If the inspection is rescheduled within 30 days, the full cancellation fee will be applied to the inspection fee.
