For a Level Two Assessment, we inspect multiple areas in the house:

Crawl spaces are inspected for moisture, mold, and insect issues. If needed a quote for remediation is provided. We look for rain water intrusion, hydrostatic pressure, black mold, damaged insulation, radon entry points, insects and condensation. When necessary, properly sealing crawl spaces will improve your air quality and reduce your utility costs.

Air Ducts are assessed for, mold, debris, air leaks, condensation, debris, filtration, ventilation, humidification, insulation and energy efficiency. Each air distribution system is unique and may require specific techniques and equipment for cleaning. Not all air ducts can be cleaned. In climates which both heat and cool the cost of energy may be 50% of their utility bill, so having a clean, sealed efficient system is very beneficial.

Attics we look for air leakage, insulation amounts and condition, moisture, mold, insets, rodents and bats.  Attics play a crucial role in your homes comfort, health, and energy efficiency. A hot attic will transfer its heat into your living area and may allow pollen, insects, fiberglass, and carcinogenic formaldehyde to enter your living space.

Exterior siding is inspected for its paint condition, water damage, and mold. The “skin” of your home is your first defense against water, heat and cold, therefore it’s cost effective to keep it in great condition. We offer thermal paints which provide significant insulation properties and last as long as you own your home.

Testing, when requested we can test for Mold, Moisture Levels, Radon, Lead, Asbestos, and Formaldehyde. They are hazardous substance that you should know about if in your home. Testing can be done using Infrared cameras, duct blaster, and air, surface, and bulk samplings (price not included).

Stack Effect is of special concern. Stack Effect happens when warm air rises and leaves through holes at the top- half of the building (through attic floor holes). Air leaving the top of the building causes air from the lower half (especially crawlspace’s and underground parking areas) to be drawn into the building. Pulling radon, mold, moisture, and pesticides into your home is not good and can be easily prevented.
