New Construction Home Inspection (or) 1 yr Builder Inspection

As many problems with residential new construction have been found as in existing homes that are 20 to 30 years old, when inspected.  A new construction home inspection provides our clients with peace of mind knowing their home has been built according to industry standards and has been built correctly.

The builder typically provides a 1 year warranty on the home that expires relieving them of numerous repairs that add up and become your out-of-pocket expense after the 1 yr warranty expires. Find out before its too late!

The builder works for the builder in residential new construction sales.  A-PRO works for the home buyer who is buying the home (product) from the builder.  This inspection keeps our clients on the builder's "priority list" before the home is sold making sure things are done correctly before ownership of the home is transferred to the new buyer.

This is a top to bottom, side to side full home inspection covering more than 500 points and components of the home.  This inspection is a thorough inspection of the entire home, including the Structure, Roof, Lot Drainage, Exterior, Electrical system and components, Heating & Air Conditioning systems and components, Plumbing systems and components, Insulation & Ventilation systems, Interior and Appliances of the home.

Commercial Building Inspections

A-PRO has become the premier inspection company performing commercial building inspections.  Commercial buildings include multi-family dwellings in addition to office buildings, strip centers and large or small office complexes.

If you are considering purchasing a commercial building, A-PRO will provide you with a comprehensive inspection so no "unforeseen" expenses are realized after the building is purchased.  This too is a good tool for financial management as the condition and performance of the components will be known reducing the need for unforeseen investment in the building or buildings.

Air Quality Testing

Are you concerned about the air quality in the home you and your family are considering living in?  Do you or anyone in your family suffer from allergies?  A-PRO can provide air quality testing that will reveal any airborne particles and mold in the home in areas that can not be seen.  

Air or swab samples can be taken at the time of the inspection for an additional charge (see Prices).  The samples are sent to our laboratory and reviewed by an Industrial Hygienist who then prepares a professionally developed report for your individual home.  The analysis will detail not only the particles in the air but will provide a air particle count for all foriegn substances that can be harmful.

A-PROs inspectors are trained and certified to take air quality samples and evaluate conditions that could lead to an increase in mold in residential construction.  A-PROs inspectors follow the guidelines set forth by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) for air quality testing in the home. 

Water Quality Testing

Considering a home in an area with well water?  Testing the water your family will consume in your new home is highly recommended.  This test can be performed at the time of the home inspection.  

The sample is sent to our laboratory and check for lead, bacteria and chemicals in the water.  Treating a water well is much like treating a swimming pool, only...you don't know what is in the water until is tested.  

Radon Gas Testing

Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family's health. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America and claims about 20,000 lives annually.  EPA has launched a new series of television, radio and print public service announcements encouraging people to test and fix their homes for radon.  The U.S. Surgeon General and EPA recommend that all homes be tested.

Radon Gas can be eliminated or reduced to non-threating levels in any home.  If you are concerned about radon gas levels in the home you are considering, ask the professionals at A-PRO about testing at the time the home is inspected.  For more information go to www.cansar.org

Swimming Pools & Hot Tubs

A-PRO will inspect the condition and operation of swimming pools and hot tubs located on the property that are in service.  This is an additional inspection that can be performed at the time of the home inspection.
