BUYER ESSENTIALS
ENVIRONMENTAL
Radon Testing in Maryland
Calvert, Frederick, Montgomery, and Washington counties are EPA Zone 1 high-risk areas. Learn why testing is critical for your family's health.
STRUCTURAL
Foundation Settlement Warning Signs
Drywall cracks and sticking doors are symptoms, not causes. Learn to identify early indicators of structural movement before costly repairs.
SELLER ADVANTAGE
Pre-Listing Inspections
Address issues on your terms before buyers step foot in your property. Reduce negotiations, increase confidence, and shorten time on market.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Sewer Scope Diagnostics
The most expensive repairs are the ones you can't see. Camera inspection reveals root intrusion, bellies, and offset joints before catastrophic failure.
DRONE TECH
Aerial Roof Inspection
High-resolution drone imaging captures roof conditions that ladders can't safely access. Detailed documentation for insurance claims and negotiations.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Mold & Moisture Analysis
Mold is a symptom; moisture is the disease. Thermal imaging and air sampling identify hidden water sources and assess indoor air quality.
SAFETY CRITICAL
Electrical Panel Safety
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are known fire hazards. Learn about recalled equipment, GFCI/AFCI requirements, and common wiring defects.
NEW BUILD
New Construction Inspections
New doesn't mean perfect. Pre-drywall and final walkthrough inspections catch installation errors hidden behind walls before you move in.
