WIN Home Inspection Charlottesville recommends all homeowners invest in an annual Home Maintenance Inspection to stay ahead of issues, ensure safety and potentially avoid costly repairs.

HOME MAINTENANCE INSPECTION

WIN offers a Home Maintenance Inspection, a service any homeowner can take advantage of, to stay ahead of the issues, ensure safety and potentially avoid costly repairs.

With this service, homeowners receive an assessment of the home’s condition with a full-service company, and a detailed easy to read report provided within 24 hours, along with four season home maintenance tips. Our highly trained inspectors use innovative techniques, and state-of-the-art equipment for the early detection of home issues.

Ancillary Services

RADON TEST

Radon is an odorless, colorless, and naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause serious health issues over time. It is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and is only detectable through testing. A trained WIN professional uses state-of-the-art equipment to check radon levels in the home, which can be mitigated once identified.

RADON-IN-WATER TEST

Homes that rely on private wells are at risk of radon exposure from elevated levels of radon in groundwater. Radon-in-water testing check drinking water for health and safety, in partnership with accredited laboratories.

SEPTIC INSPECTION

Problems with the septic tank can lead to sewage backup, structural damage, and health issues. In a standard septic inspection by your WIN Home Inspector, all the visible components of the septic system are examined and a dye test is performed to check for leaks.

SEWER SCOPE INSPECTION

Hidden issues in sewer lines can cause flooding, mold, structural damage, and result in serious health problems. Highly trained WIN Home Inspectors use specialize, state-of-the-art equipment to check sewer lines for tree roots, cracks, and blockages, while providing recommendations for needed maintenance and repairs.

WATER QUALITY TEST

Water contaminants such as bacteria and nitrates can cause serious health issues and even structural damage to the home water system. WIN Home Inspection professionals partner with accredited laboratories to test the water quality in the home and protect home and health.

WELL FLOW TEST

Well Flow Testing (also known as 'well pump performance') by a trained WIN Home Inspector checks for needed repairs or adjustments to a home’s water flow. During the test, the inspector will determine the rate at which the home well is able to supply a steady flow of water and simulate normal water usage to help identify any issues.

MOLD TEST

Mold growth in the home can cause serious structural damage and pose a threat to human health. Trained WIN Home Inspectors check for hidden mold growth using specialized equipment to collect air samples, and can also provide mold surface sample testing for visible mold issues. We partner with accredited laboratories to provide professional and fast test results to home owners, buyers, and sellers.

INFRARED SCAN (IR)

Some potential issues in the home, such as missing insulation or overloaded electrical circuits are not visible to the naked eye. Infrared (IR) thermography allows WIN Home Inspectors to help identify otherwise hidden issues using innovative technology. Once identified, these issues can be proactively addressed, which can result in lower energy bills and a safer home.

METH TEST

Residual traces of methamphetamine in the home can result in accidental consumption of this dangerous substance. Particles on walls, ceilings, and carpets may not be visible to the naked eye. Residue meth testing conducted by a professional in partnership with accredited laboratories can help identify traces of this health risk before it becomes a more serious issue.

FIREPLACE AND CHIMNEY INSPECTION

There are more than 25,000 chimney fires in America each year that destroy homes and lives. A trained WIN Inspector will conduct a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of a chimney seeking out potential hazards (i.e., fires, carbon monoxide, etc.).
