Provisional Inspections

Prepare homes for safe occupation

1 h 30 minLos Angeles

Service Description

Who needs this service? -------Homeowners selling their property, home buyers, contractors, property managers, real estate agents, and anyone preparing to re-occupy a vacant or recently repaired space. Why is this service important? -------Purchasing a home means inheriting everything that comes with it, including hidden water damage, mold, poor air quality, allergens, and more. Sellers benefit from identifying and disclosing issues early to avoid future liability. Vacant or long-closed properties often suffer from poor ventilation, leading to stale air, elevated humidity, and microbial growth. For contractors performing repairs in spaces with suspected environmental damage, testing confirms the area is safe for you and your crew before work begins. Where & How is the service performed? -------Inspections are conducted throughout the interior and exterior of the property, including living spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, crawl spaces, basements, attics, and mechanical areas. Using state-of-the-art infrared imaging and moisture detection technology, we locate hidden water intrusion without causing damage to the building. Advanced air quality tools provide live readings, and when mold is suspected, the latest air sampling technology captures a snapshot of airborne particles present at the time of inspection. What does the service include? -------A comprehensive interior and exterior walk-through, live moisture monitoring, infrared imaging, and sample collection when necessary. A full report with interpretations is provided to guide your next steps. If water damage is identified, a remediation plan is prepared for an independent remediation company. Once repairs are completed, we offer re-testing to confirm the space has been properly abated. When will results be available? -------Results may be available the same day, depending on your needs, sample types, and laboratory capacity. Remediation plans are generally available within 2–3 days of receiving laboratory results, though complexity of the findings may extend that timeline. Contact us today to schedule your Provisional Inspection and ensure your property is safe, sound, and ready for its next chapter.
