Thermal Imaging Inspection – FREE with Every Home Inspection!

At Ease Inspections includes a complimentary thermal imaging inspection with every home inspection, providing an advanced layer of detail in evaluating your property. Thermal imaging, also known as infrared inspection, utilizes specialized infrared cameras to detect subtle temperature differences within a home’s structure, revealing potential issues that may not be visible during a standard inspection.

Using our professional-grade FLIR infrared camera, our inspectors capture thermal images throughout the home, identifying temperature variations that can indicate:

Moisture intrusion, leaks in the home which could contribute to mold growth.
Insufficient insulation leading to energy loss.
Electrical hotspots that may signal overheating components and fire hazards.
Air leaks that can impact energy efficiency and drive up heating and cooling costs.

Our thermal imaging service is a powerful diagnostic tool that enhances the thoroughness of our inspections. It allows us to detect hidden issues early, such as areas needing insulation improvements, moisture that could lead to mold development, or safety concerns within electrical systems.

At Ease Inspections provides this service as part of our commitment to delivering exceptional value and comprehensive evaluations. With thermal imaging included at no additional charge, you gain deeper insights into your home’s condition, ensuring you have the knowledge to make informed decisions about your property.

Radon Testing – Protect Your Home and Health

Radon is one of the most commonly identified issues during home inspections and a serious health concern for homeowners. As a carcinogenic gas, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., posing a significant risk even for non-smokers. It is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without proper testing. The only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels is through professional testing.

At Ease Inspections provides state-of-the-art radon testing using advanced continuous radon monitors to ensure the most accurate results possible. Our Breeze radon monitors go beyond the industry standard by collecting air samples every 10 minutes (compared to the standard once per hour), allowing for more precise data collection. Each monitor is equipped with:

Multiple sensors for enhanced accuracy.
Anti-tamper technology for secure testing integrity.
Battery backup for uninterrupted operation.
LTE connectivity for real-time monitoring and automated reporting.

After the 48-hour testing period, we’ll generate your detailed radon report and send it directly to you before retrieving our equipment. We recognize that real estate transactions move quickly, so we prioritize efficiency and accuracy to support your tight timelines while ensuring no compromises on quality. On most occasions, your radon report is delivered to your email approximately 1 hour after completion of the 48-hour test!

If elevated radon levels are detected, we will provide clear guidance on the next steps to help you mitigate the issue effectively. Skipping a radon test means taking a serious health risk by potentially exposing your household to toxic, cancer-causing radon gas.

Protect your family’s health with At Ease Inspections’ professional radon testing. Your safety is our priority.

Sewer Scope Inspection

A sewer scope inspection is a specialized plumbing evaluation where a small, high-resolution camera is inserted into a home’s sewer line to assess the condition of the pipes and identify potential issues.

During this inspection, our inspectors will thoroughly examine the lateral main for signs of cracks, corrosion, root intrusion, debris blockages, or other damage. Proper drainage and flow will also be evaluated to ensure the sewer line is functioning correctly.

Upon completion of the inspection, a detailed report will be provided, including pictures and videos captured during the sewer scope. This visual documentation offers clear insight into the condition of the lateral main and helps homeowners understand any areas of concern.

Functional drainage at the time of inspection does not guarantee long-term performance. Flow can appear normal under standard testing conditions but may fail when subjected to the demands of daily use, leading to unexpected backups and costly repairs.

We’ve had clients in the past choose to opt out of a sewer scope inspection, only to face expensive repairs later that could have been identified and avoided during the initial home inspection. Sewer line repairs can often range between $5,000 and $10,000 or more, sometimes requiring significant excavation in yards, driveways, or even foundations.

A simple, affordable sewer scope inspection could save you thousands, help prevent sewage back-up and help you make a fully informed decision on your home purchase. Why risk it?

Mold Testing – Protect Your Home and Health

Mold testing is a professional service that involves identifying and analyzing the presence and types of mold in a home. At Ease Inspections is certified by the International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants (IAC2) for both mold and radon testing, ensuring the highest level of expertise in mold assessment.

Our mold testing process includes both air sampling and surface sampling to accurately assess indoor mold conditions. These samples are sent to a certified laboratory for detailed analysis, determining the type and concentration of mold present.

Once testing is complete, At Ease Inspections will provide the official laboratory analysis of the mold results, along with a second, easy-to-understand report that breaks down the spores identified. Our report offers real-world advice for addressing any mold issues, including practical steps for correcting moisture concerns and improving indoor air quality.

Mold can often go unnoticed behind walls, ceilings, and in basements or crawlspaces while still contributing to poor indoor air quality and potential health concerns such as respiratory issues, allergies, and skin irritation.

Identifying mold early through professional testing not only helps you understand potential health risks but also provides essential information for effective mold remediation and long-term moisture management within the home.

Air Quality Testing – Breathe Easier with Confidence

Air quality testing is the process of analyzing the composition of indoor air to determine if it contains harmful pollutants or contaminants that could impact your health and comfort. At Ease Inspections offers professional air quality testing to help you identify and address potential indoor air concerns.

Our testing measures a variety of air quality factors, including:

Particulate Matter (PM) – Fine particles that can affect respiratory health.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Gases emitted from household materials, which can cause irritation and long-term health issues.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) – A dangerous, odorless gas that can be life-threatening in high concentrations.
Ozone and Other Gases – Additional pollutants that may affect indoor air quality and overall safety.

At Ease Inspections uses high-precision indoor air pumps to collect air samples, which are then sent to a certified laboratory for comprehensive analysis. Once testing is complete, At Ease Inspections will provide the official laboratory analysis, along with a second, easy-to-understand report that breaks down the contaminants identified and offers real-world recommendations for improving indoor air quality, such as ventilation improvements, filtration upgrades, or addressing pollutant sources.

Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health concerns, making regular air quality assessments essential for a healthier home environment. Whether you’re seeking peace of mind, compliance with environmental standards, or evaluating the effectiveness of an air purification system, our professional testing helps you make informed decisions for a cleaner, safer home.

Wood Destroying Insect/Termite Inspection – Protect Your Investment

A Wood Destroying Insect (WDI)/Termite Inspection is a specialized evaluation focused on identifying the presence of wood-destroying insects that can compromise the structural integrity of a home. This inspection is commonly required for VA loans and is an essential step in protecting your investment during a real estate transaction. We use the VA required NPMA-33 form to ensure your paperwork is accurate and accepted from the VA.

At Ease Inspections conducts thorough WDI inspections to identify the presence of destructive pests, including:

Termites
Carpenter Ants
Wood-Boring Beetles

Our comprehensive assessment includes checking for visible damage and signs of activity both inside and outside the home, such as:

Mud tubes along foundation walls.
Wood damage including hollowed or weakened wood.
Live insects or insect remnants.

We also inspect exterior wooden structures, such as fences, decks, sheds, and playsets, for signs of infestation and potential damage.

Why It Matters:
Undetected wood-destroying insects can cause significant structural damage, leading to costly repairs. Identifying these issues early can be crucial during a home purchase, as the findings can help buyers and sellers negotiate necessary repairs or preventative treatments before closing.

At Ease Inspections is committed to delivering detailed reporting that provides a clear understanding of the property’s condition, empowering you to make informed decisions and safeguard your investment.

Water Quality Testing – Ensure Safe Drinking Water

Water quality testing is a critical part of ensuring the safety and purity of a home’s drinking water. This service is often required for VA and FHA loans and is commonly performed during the home inspection process to assess the overall quality and safety of a home’s water supply.

At Ease Inspections performs comprehensive water testing by collecting a water sample, typically from the kitchen sink, to ensure a representative analysis of the home’s primary drinking source. The sample is then sent to a certified laboratory for a detailed analysis, testing for a wide range of potential contaminants, including:

Bacteria (such as coliform and E. coli)
Lead and other heavy metals
Nitrates and nitrites
Other harmful substances

Once testing is complete, At Ease Inspections will provide the official laboratory analysis along with a secondary report that clearly explains the findings and offers practical recommendations if any contaminants are identified.

Why It Matters:
Water contamination can pose serious health risks, including gastrointestinal issues, long-term health complications, and concerns for vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women. Understanding the condition of a home’s water supply is essential for making informed decisions about a property.

If the water quality test reveals concerns, these findings can often be negotiated as part of the home purchase, ensuring proper corrective actions are taken before closing.

Protect your family’s health with professional water quality testing from At Ease Inspections.

Repair Cost Estimates – Make Informed Decisions with Confidence
