Maysville, KY 41002 - Hawkins Home Inspections LLC - 606.782.3885
What's Included
Full Home Inspection Service
Our home inspection services cover all accessible areas of the home including the roof, foundation, exterior, interior, attic, crawlspace or basement, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. We also perform a TERMITE and (WDO) wood destroying organism inspection while on site, as this is often a requirement by many lenders.
Drone Inspections
We walk all roofs because this is the best way to find issues. However, we also use drones to find problems on homes that have roofs so steep that they're simply unwalkable, as well as capturing stunning images of the property. This unique perspective can only be achieved with our state-of-the-art drone technology, allowing us to see what many inspectors can't. We are FAA Remote Pilot Certified, and flights are conducted in accordance with FAA regulations (weather permitting).
Thermal Imaging
This non-invasive infrared technology utilizes thermal imaging, a tool that can help detect temperature variations, which is essential during a home inspection. It aids in identifying hidden issues such as moisture, missing or inadequate insulation, and even electrical faults. These are defects that traditional visual inspections often overlook.
Sewer/Septic Line Inspection
Many homebuyers will want their sewer line inspected, which is the underground drain that goes from your home to the city connection or a septic tank. We use special drain cameras to scope this line. That line is your responsibility, and a failure in it can sometimes end up being a five figure job!! Make sure your line is in good shape before you close.
Radon Testing
You cannot see, smell or taste radon, but it can be a problem in your home. It is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas, and the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the U.S., according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Testing is the only way to find out what your home’s radon level is. Let me test your home for radon!
Mold Sampling/Indoor Air Quality Testing
Mold can cause illnesses and health troubles, and toxic mold can lead to severe health troubles, especially in children and people with compromised immune systems. Mold spores are often invisible to the naked eye until it starts to spread. Professional mold testing is the only way to truly know if a house has toxic mold before it is too late.
