Radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas produced by the decay of uranium and radium. Unlike some indoor pollutants, it cannot be detected by our senses. This naturally occurring radioactive gas is produced in the moist soil or rock. As a result, all houses have some radon, as does the outdoor air. Radon is an inert gas, meaning that it is chemically inactive. Since it is not chemically bound or attached to other materials, radon can move easily through any material that has pores or void spaces through which gases can move. Void spaces and pores are found in the soil beneath any home. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America, just behind smoking. Radon levels should be tested in all homes to ensure that this gas doesn't harm occupants. As an additional service, we offer Radon testing only using the industry's leading testing equipment.
Infrared Thermography Inspections Some of the most significant issues in a home can remain concealed behind walls, ceilings, and floors long before visible signs of damage appear. Infrared thermography inspections utilize advanced thermal imaging technology to identify temperature variations that may indicate potential moisture intrusion, electrical concerns, insulation deficiencies, and energy loss. Our non-invasive infrared thermography inspections provide valuable insight into concealed conditions that may otherwise go undetected during a standard visual inspection. Whether you are purchasing, selling, or maintaining a home, thermography offers an additional layer of information to help identify potential concerns and support informed decisions about your property.
A Well Yield Test is a timed assessment designed to determine the rate at which a well system can produce water, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). This test helps evaluate the well’s performance and water supply capacity by identifying: Well System Functionality: Verifies the operation of the well pump and pressure tank. Water Supply and Recovery: Determines whether the well is producing sufficient water and replenishing adequately, or if it may be at risk of running dry. Available Water Reserve: Assesses the amount of water available within the well at the time of testing. Household Water Usage Capacity: Helps determine whether the well can adequately support typical household activities, such as showering, laundry, dishwashing, and irrigation systems etc, or whether water usage may need to be spaced out to allow the well to recover.
Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. It's impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture indoors. Molds reproduce by making spores that usually cannot be seen without magnification. Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive. Molds gradually destroy the things they grown on. All molds have the potential to cause health effects. Molds can produce allergens that can trigger allergic reactions or even asthma attacks in people allergic to mold. Others are known to produce potent toxins and/or irritants. Potential health concerns are an important reason to prevent mold growth and to remediate/clean up any existing indoor mold growth. As an additional service, Accurate will test for mold in any home inspection.
A sewer backup can be a messy, stressful, and costly problem for homeowners. Sewer line repairs can be especially expensive due to the extensive excavation and potential street or sidewalk restoration required. A professional sewer camera inspection before purchasing a home can help identify hidden issues in the main sewer line, giving you peace of mind and helping you avoid unexpected expenses after moving in. Protect your investment with advanced sewer inspection technology. Our inspection process uses a flexible cable equipped with a high-resolution camera to examine up to 100 feet inside your main sewer line. Live video footage allows the inspector to assess the pipe’s condition and identify existing issues or potential concerns before they become major problems. Schedule your sewer camera inspection today! A proactive inspection can help you make informed decisions, prevent costly surprises, and protect yourself from potentially significant repair expenses down the road.
Clear water does not necessarily mean safe drinking water. When purchasing a home that relies on a private well as its primary drinking water source, it is essential to have the water tested to ensure it meets appropriate safety standards. A comprehensive well water quality test should generally include screening for bacteria, iron, nitrates, nitrites, turbidity, lead and pH levels. Additional testing may be required depending on the type of mortgage financing.
