We highly encourage you to attend!

In historic areas like the Near East Side or Vilas, we frequently encounter aging lath-and-plaster walls, outdated electrical systems (such as knob-and-tube wiring), and clay sewer lines that may be prone to root intrusion. Our team is trained to identify these era-specific concerns while also evaluating the modern updates that keep these classic homes functional today.
Our base home inspections in the [City] area start at $345. The final cost depends on the size and age of the home, as well as any specialized add-ons like Radon Testing or Sewer Scopes. We believe in total transparency, which is why we offer instant, no-obligation quotes through our online booking system.
Our local weather—from heavy snow and ice damming in the winter to high humidity in the summer—puts unique stress on a property. We specifically look for signs of past water intrusion in basements, attic ventilation issues that lead to ice buildup, and the condition of exterior grading to ensure melting snow drains away from your foundation.
While not required by state law, radon testing is highly recommended for our region. Dane County is located in a high-potential radon zone, and because many local homes have basements that remain sealed during our long winters, levels can fluctuate significantly. We offer radon monitoring as a specialized add-on to ensure your indoor air quality is safe.
We’ve made booking simple to keep up with the fast-paced Madison market. You can secure your spot in seconds through our online scheduler, or if you prefer a personal touch, give us a call or text. We offer flexible time slots throughout the week to fit your timeline.
