Home Inspection Rates/Services

Radon Testing: $299

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in the soil.  It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and invisible gas.  Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that radon causes 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S. The risk of developing lung cancer from radon depends on the level of radon you are exposed to over a lifetime, as well as other genetic and environmental factors, such as if you are a smoker. About 40 percent of homes in the state of Idaho that were tested for radon showed unsafe levels, according to Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.  You cannot see or smell this naturally occurring radioactive gas, so the only way to know the radon levels of your home is to test for it.  The only way to tell if you have high radon levels in your home is to test.

Meth Testing: $799

Illegal clandestine drug labs may pose a health threat to unsuspecting home buyers or renters. Typically, these labs have been used to manufacture methamphetamine, commonly referred to as meth, speed or crank.  After an illegal meth lab is discovered by law enforcement officials, the bulk of lab-related materials, including chemicals and containers, is usually removed. However,  contaminants may have been left behind on floors, walls, counters, carpets, furniture, sinks, drains and ventilation systems. Meth lab contaminants may pose health threats to persons exposed to them.  Meth use in Idaho is increasing and you should always test a home for meth prior to moving your family in. Results ready in 1 hour. 

Infrared Thermal Imaging: $199

Thermal imaging is a non-invasive technology which enables inspectors to identify gaps in the doors, windows, floors, and walls through which energy is lost and air and moisture can enter or leave the home. It can also help identify unexpected hot spots. The process is fast, simple, effective, and affordable and can end up saving homeowners untold amounts of money in energy costs, prevention of damage to the home, and health protection for both the residents and visitors. Inspections done using thermal imaging are much more effective than conventional inspection methods. They can detect potential problems long before they can cause serious damage to the home and negatively affect the health of the people that live there. The information thermal imaging provides can be used to make the necessary repairs. Thermal imaging can help homeowners locate malfunctions in heating systems, air-conditioner leaks, broken window seals, and other framing and structural defects which can cause energy loss. It can also detect moisture intrusion from plumbing and roofing leaks.

Sewer Line Video Inspection: $450

A video camera sewer line inspection will identify all types of problems, such as root intrusion and pipe that is misaligned, broken, punctured, off-grade or corroded. The camera also identifies grease buildups, leaks and obstructions. I recommend this service when buying or selling an older home or for homes that have large trees on site.
