You should schedule a home inspection to take place as early on in the buying process as you can so that you leave yourself plenty of time to negotiate. Home inspections are also valuable if you are planning to sell your home. Not only can a pre-inspection provide reassurance for you as you prepare to sell, it also provides assurance to any potential buyers.

The home buyer and their agent will attend the inspection most of the time. Most of the time, the buyer will attend the home inspection.We recommend you join us for the inspection to learn more about your impending purchase and to discuss any areas of concern you may have. That said, we also perform inspections without someone present. In these cases, we provide a detailed report of our findings, including photographs for you to review and follow up with any questions you may have.

Whomever requests the home inspection. If you are the potential buyer, you would request an inspection as soon as an offer has been accepted by the seller. If you are looking to sell your home and are requesting a pre-inspection, you would pay as the seller.

A qualified home inspector assesses the condition of the property, including its heating and cooling systems, plumbing, electrical work, water and sewage, as well as some fire and safety issues. Often times, the aesthetics of a property can mask real problems. A home inspection will help to ensure a sound investment, one built on more than a good paint job and great decorating.

After your offer to purchase a property is accepted, you should complete the questionnaire under the “contact” link or call us at (715)379-8227. We’ll secure payment and schedule the inspection. On the scheduled date, we’ll meet you at the property and complete the inspection. A report will be emailed to you within 24 hours that documents all findings, including pictures. You can then work with your realtor should there be any material findings you’d like to negotiate with the sellers of the property.

Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. It forms naturally from the decay (breaking down) of radioactive elements, such as uranium, which are found in different amounts in soil and rock throughout the world. Radon is measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L).

According to the EPA, “Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.”Nationally, the EPA estimates that about 21,000 people die each year from radon-related lung cancer.

In some areas in Wisconsin, Radon levels on average are four times the national average. The EPA recommends repairs if your home records Radon levels higher than 4pCi/L. One in ten homes in Wisconsin have Radon issues.
