Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US, according to the Surgeon General. Radon can enter your home through cracks in the foundation, and because it’s odorless and colorless, the only way to detect it is with a professional inspection. If your NPI inspector finds radon in your home, a radon mitigation system can be installed to keep your family safe.

Termites and other wood-destroying insects (WDIs) can cause catastrophic damage to your home’s structure if left untreated. Your NPI inspector can identify the presence of termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles and more before they cause irreversible damage.

Your NPI inspector can act as an expert witness to provide testimony in legal disputes. National Property Inspections provides thorough home inspection reports and in-person testimony regarding construction and inspection-related issues that can mean the difference between winning and losing a case.

If you’re buying or selling a property that draws its water from a private well, National Property Inspections can perform a water quality inspection. Your NPI inspector will collect water samples and send them to an approved laboratory for testing. Well water is tested for Coliform bacteria, particulates, mineral content and even radon to determine its safety to drink.

To extend the life of your roof, choose NPI for your standalone roof inspection. Our inspectors use the latest technology to thoroughly document the condition of your roof, rain or shine. Identifying issues like warped shingles or worn flashings can prevent big problems like water intrusion and mold growth.

Unlike larger homes constructed with standard building techniques, mobile and manufactured homes have their own unique considerations that need to be addressed during an inspection. There may be limited access to crawl spaces and attics, and these homes may face a greater risk of damage from extreme weather. Our inspectors have years of experience with mobile home inspections and provide a comprehensive report.

Stucco is a type of exterior siding common in Spanish and Mediterranean architecture. Stucco is comprised of multiple thin layers of cement applied over wood or metal lathe that give your home a unique look. While stucco is durable, it can be prone to damage over time, especially if it was improperly applied. Your NPI inspector can determine the condition of your home’s entire stucco siding system, including the stucco cladding, exterior sealants, flashing, windows, doors, gutters, roof-to-stucco transitions and more.

After your home inspection, a Repair/Replace Amendment Re-Inspection from NPI can ensure that the repairs you’ve negotiated as part of your home sale contract have actually been completed. A re-inspection can save you time and money, giving you peace of mind that your new home will be exactly what you expect when you move in.
