Termite Inspections Included & Same Day Reports!
Every General Inspection performed by Access Home Inspections, includes a courtesy Termite report. Some loans such VA Loans require a Wood Destroying Insects ‘WDI’ report submitted on form NPMA-33. Per the requirements of the Indiana State Chemist, we look for evidence of Termites, Powder Post Beetles, Carpenter Ants and wood boring Carpenter Bees.
Inspection timeframe: Our Inspectors perform one Home Inspection per day and a thorough inspection for most single-family homes is about 2.5 to 4 hours. Clients are always welcome to join us and because we only perform one inspection per day, we can spend time answering every question. This is also how we ensure same day reports (with morning inspections).
Modern software: Our Realtor Friendly Reports™ are interactive, web-based and are easy to share with other Realtors, Lenders and Contractors for repair quotes. Portions of our inspections are video based and streamed directly from within the report. Items that need attention are identified in a summary as well as color coded for Maintenance, Repair and Safety Defect.
Wood Destroying Insects (WDI)
Our specialized, visual examination of a property for evidence of termites, carpenter ants, bees, and powderpost beetles. We check accessible areas for infestations and damage, providing a report (NPMA-33) to identify current or past activity and potential risk factors.
Sewer Scope & Inspection
This specialized, video inspection of a property’s main underground sewer line, uses a flexible camera inserted through a cleanout, vent, or toilet line. It identifies hidden, expensive issues like tree root intrusions, cracks, blockages, or collapsed pipes between the home and the municipal main or septic tank.
Radon Testing & Mitigation
Professional Radon testing is the only way to detect the colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that causes lung cancer and other health issues. The EPA recommends testing all homes below the third floor, particularly in lower living areas. We can also suggest mitigation contacts.
Mold Inspections & Testing
Most mold problems occur for comparable reasons. Just know that our knowledgable and certified mold inspectors have seen it all. If there is a problem present, they will be able to locate it and suggest solutions and further testing and remediation if necessary.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
Indoor air quality testing identifies pollutants like mold, VOCs, radon, and particulate matter that can be 2-5 times higher indoors than outdoors. Testing is conducted via real-time monitors that track pollutants and humidity. Poor air quality symptoms include headaches, dizziness, respiratory issues and potential long term health issues.
Pool & Spa Inspection
Pools and spas can pose health and safety hazards if not addressed on a routine basis. Filters can get clogged, pool walls can crack and chip, and over time, safety becomes a serious concern. We provide a comprehensive Pool and Spa Inspection to ensure the condition of your pool and/or spa remain safe and healthy.
Infrared & Thermal Scan
Our specialized cameras detect invisible surface temperature variations, identifying hidden issues like moisture intrusion, missing insulation, electrical hot spots, and structural heat loss. This non-invasive scan provides a detailed, color-coded analysis of a home's condition, allowing you to see potential issues.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
A pre-drywall inspection is a critical, optional assessment of a new home's structure and systems (framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC) before interior walls are covered. It ensures compliance with blueprints, identifies hidden defects early to prevent costly future repairs, and is best scheduled after framing is complete but before insulation is installed.
New Build Inspection
New home build inspections are essential to identify defects, safety hazards, and poor craftsmanship that municipal inspectors might miss. They typically cover three phases: foundation, framing, and final/blue tape, covering structural integrity, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roof. Our inspection ensures unbiased quality checks.
