NPI professionals are trained to perform a  visual, unbiased home inspection. The inspectors assess the home from roof to foundation to identify safety issues and describe the current conditions on the property. Your inspector will walk you step-by-step through significant findings. Following the inspection, you will receive an easy-to-read, thorough report for your records. This can assist you in purchase negotiations, warranty repairs or when making future maintenance decisions.

We encourage you to allow time to attend at least the final portion of the inspection. This allows us to walk through the home with you, pointing out findings and explaining elements of the report. Following is a short description of some of our inspection services:

• Radon inspections
  Radon is an oderless, colorless, radioactive gas that is a Class A carcinigen. It is the leading cause of lung cancer of non-smokers, and if you are a smoker your risks are greatly increased of contracting lung cancer if you are exposed to dangerous levels of radon. I use only electronic equipment for testing. The test takes 48-72 hours and the results are given to you at the end of the test. The EPA recommends every home sold be tested.
   
• Well & Septic inspection
  Homes with septic systems should be inspected by a licensed professional. You family's health can be protected by a inspection prior to purchasing the property. We are fully licensed and insured to inspect for bacterial in the water supply, and to make sure your septic system meets state and local codes.

• Homebuyer’s pre-closing inspections
  Sometimes referred to as a "general home inspection," these are booked prior to closing on either brand new or existing housing. The inspection covers hundreds of components in the home and includes a written report clearly outlining safety concerns and the current condition of the home. The report gives buyers the information they need to make the best decision and prepare for future maintenance. 
  

• Homeseller’s pre-listing inspections
  A general home inspection completed prior to listing or selling the home to give current owners an idea of maintenance items to address. A pre-listing inspection also helps inspire confidence in prospective buyers regarding the condition of the home and reduce time spent in contract negotiation because an unbiased, independent inspector has reviewed all major systems.
  
• New construction phase/draw inspections
  These inspections are completed for home owners or construction lenders during the construction process. NPI inspects the home at various stages in the building process as part of the quality assurance checks or to allow for the release of the next phase of funding. Timing and reports for these inspections are customized to fit the needs of the client.
• New home builder’s warranty inspections
  Most brand-new home builders provide homeowners with a 12-month Builder’s Warranty. Ordering an inspection before the warranty expires gives the homeowner a professionally-prepared report to go over with the builder addressing possible issues. If repairs are not needed, it provides peace of mind regarding the quality of the new home.
  
• Employee relocation home inspections
  Time is generally of the essence when a family is relocated for business purposes. Prior to beginning negotiations for purchase of a home, relocation companies generally order a home inspection to determine the need for repair and maintenance.
