Mold Inspections
Due to the high levels of humidity in Florida, it is very common to find mold in our area homes. Mold has a potential to cause health problems like allergies, irritation (to lungs, eyes, skin, throat, nose) and are potentially toxic. The longer it grows the more damage it may cause. If there is a mold finding in your home, you then have the opportunity to clean the mold promptly and properly. Mold can be hidden, growing on moisture and can develop into a potentially large problem if not caught in time.
New Construction Stage Inspections

Radon Inspections
Radon is a colorless, tasteless, naturally-occurring, radioactive gas found throughout the U.S. that is extremely dangerous when present in high levels in your home. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and is estimated to cause more than 20,000 deaths each year.
Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water, and gets into the air you breathe. Radon can get into any type of building – homes, offices, and schools – resulting in a high indoor level of radon gas. Since radon is invisible and odorless, the only way to know if your home has a radon problem is through a professional test. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon.
Radon contamination inside a home happens more often than people tend to think, and it’s important to make sure that your prospective home is safe from this radioactive gas before making an investment.
