Thorough, Professional Home Inspections
Knowledgeable Home Inspector
Buying a new home can be stressful and complicated. Choosing a qualified, honest, and experienced home inspector can give you the knowledge and confidence you need to make a sound real estate purchasing decision.
As the owner of Premium Home Inspections, LLC, my comprehensive inspections, fair pricing and commitment to honesty and accuracy , help bring peace of mind to every client.
All areas of the home are inspected, interior and exterior, doors, windows, electrical, plumbing, mechanicals, roof, attic, and the foundation. Garage inspections are included in each home inspection.
We Tell You About the Little Things
While some issues in the home are obvious, there can be issues that need specific, sometimes immediate attention, but are not easy to see. Informing you about potential safety or functionalty issues you may not even know are a problem is what "Peace of Mind" is all about.
Additional Services
Every inspection includes a general thermal/infrared scan of all ceilings at the top level of the home and of the basement walls for any signs of moisture intrusion through the roof or foundation. In finished basements, this may be the only way to find leaking/water intrusion.
Radon testing and mold sampling are also available.

Radon Testing
Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas. It is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and comes from the natural breakdown (radioactive decay) of uranium. It is usually found in igneous rock and soil, but is found in all types of soil and in some cases, well water may also be a source of radon.
Radon gas tends to collect in basements.
You cannot see, smell or taste radon, but it may be an issue in your new home.
The Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, you’re at an even higher risk for developing lung cancer. Some scientific studies of radon exposure indicate that children may be more sensitive to radon. This may be due to their higher respiration rate and their rapidly dividing cells, which may be more vulnerable to radiation damage.
Premium Home Inspections, LLC performs accurate radon testing as an additional service. Test results are generally available within 72 hours of the start of the test. Additional fee applies.
Infrared and Mold Testing
Even if you don’t see it, mold spores may be there, lurking in hard-to-reach corners, beneath flooring or behind walls. While mold spores are everywhere in the air we breathe every day, the growth of certain molds inside the home can be detrimental, or even dangerous to the occupants. Infrared imaging/scanning can help find problem areas that are not visible to the naked eye.
Mold loves damp locations, such as previously flooded basements or leaking pipes and windows, and can even be present in tightly sealed new construction, where even a tiny amount of trapped moisture can cause it to grow.
Premium Home Inspections, LLC can perform mold sampling at visibly effected locations and also test for airborne mold in the home. Additional fee required.
