Water Quality Inspections

Home water testing is essential for existing homeowners as well as those considering purchasing a home. We use it daily to wash and work with, and the water we drink nourishes and sustains us. Discovery Home Inspections works with a recognized laboratory to offer Water Quality Testing because everyone deserves safe, clean water.

Home water testing is a specialized test that checks for containments and pollutants such as chlorine, lead, and coliform bacteria in a home’s water supply.  Water testing is essential because it ensures that a home’s water supply is potable and safe for everyday use. Discovery Home Inspections has the necessary training and equipment to offer your current or future home water quality testing.

Mold Inspection

As a certified mold assessor, you can trust Discovery Home Inspections to perform the job with care and professionalism. Your dream home can quickly turn into a nightmare if mold is discovered. It’s essential to have your home inspected before purchase to avoid unsafe health conditions caused by excessive mold.

Well Flow Testing

Our well flow test determines if the well produces enough water to support your household's water requirements like drinking, washing hands, taking showers, doing dishes, and washing laundry. Unless our water stops flowing, we generally take for granted if a well’s output is sufficient to support our household’s water requirements. If your well doesn’t meet the minimum required levels, we provide you with specific recommendations and next steps.

Wood Destroying Insect Inspections

Whether you’re already a happy homeowner or a buyer ready to purchase your dream home, it’s essential to know that serious issues can occur from wood-destroying insects. Termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, powderpost beetles, and other wood-destroying insects lurk beneath the surface for the wood and commonly go unnoticed until they’ve caused substantial damage. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), termites alone cause billions of dollars in structural damage each year. 

Radon Testing

If you are a homeowner, then the question "what is radon testing?" should be an important part of your maintenance routine. Radon is a very dangerous radioactive gas that forms from the decayed uranium in natural stone. The radioactive metal atoms that come from the decay can easily be inhaled, causing conditions such as lung cancer or physically damaging respiratory tract cells.
