Radon Testing
Performed by an NRPP-Certified Radon Measurement Professional (#116187) following ANSI/AARST protocol. What radon is and what the numbers mean →

Air and surface sampling through an accredited lab, paired with moisture and thermal assessment. What sampling can and cannot tell you →
Termite & WDO Inspections
Wood-destroying organism report coordinated with a licensed Kentucky pest control operator — one appointment, not two. Termites, beetles and decay in Kentucky →
Thermal Imaging
Limited thermal imaging is included when conditions warrant; a comprehensive standalone exterior scan is available as an add-on.
Fall bonus service: the same thermal drone recovers downed deer for hunters — thermal deer recovery details here.
Drone-Assisted Observations
Aerial views of roofs and hard-to-reach areas when conditions allow — flown by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot.
The Report
Findings you can act on.
Reports separate general comments from maintenance items and deficiencies, with photo documentation and clear next steps — written in DDID style: describe, define, implication, direction.
At-a-Glance Summary
121 items inspected, every finding categorized — general comments, maintenance items, and immediate deficiencies — each linked to its detail page.
Plain-Language Risk
Immediate deficiencies explain the actual risk — here, a dryer duct sagging into the crawlspace that restricts airflow and raises fire risk.
Photographed & Arrowed
Every finding is photographed with arrows marking the exact spot, so you or your contractor can find it without guessing.
The Why and the Fix
Maintenance items include what to do and why it matters — like extending downspouts to protect your foundation. (Spot the drone's shadow on the roof.)
Every finding photographed
Prioritized — no overwhelm
Easy to forward to your agent
Talked through together — not just sent
Why this badge matters
Radon results are only as good as the person measuring.
Radon is invisible, odorless, and the second-leading cause of lung cancer — which means the only thing standing between you and a wrong answer is the professional and the protocol. NRPP certification is the national proficiency standard recognized by the EPA: verified coursework, a proctored exam, annually lab-calibrated equipment, documented quality-assurance procedures, and continuing education to keep it. It's not a sticker you buy; it's a discipline you maintain.
So here's honest consumer advice that costs me nothing and protects you everywhere: whoever tests your air — me or anyone else — ask for their certification number and their device's current calibration certificate. A professional will have both out before you finish the question. Kyle is NRPP-Certified Radon Measurement Professional #116187, certified through August 2028.
From real inspections
What a builder's eye actually finds
Unedited photos from recent inspections — the kind of conditions that hide in crawlspaces, on rooflines, and behind trim until someone goes looking.
Scope
What a home inspection does not include.
Worth saying up front rather than in a footnote. A home inspection follows the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, and those standards draw a line around what is inspected. Knowing where that line falls before you close is more useful than finding out afterward.
- Private wells. The well, the pump, water quality, and yield are all outside the standards and are not inspected or tested. A water lab and a well contractor are separate hires.
- Septic systems. Tanks, drain fields, and system capacity are outside the standards. Pumping, dye testing, and sizing are a septic contractor's work — book one early in your inspection period, not late.
- Anything below the waterline. Docks, seawalls, boat lifts, and their anchoring and marine electrical. On Corps of Engineers lakes these also sit under a separate permit system.
- Concealed and inaccessible areas. Inside walls, under floor coverings, behind stored belongings, or anywhere access is unsafe. The report states where access stopped and why.
- Code compliance, value, and insurability. An inspection reports condition. It is not a code inspection, an appraisal, or an insurance underwriting decision.
Where something falls outside the scope, the report says so plainly and points you at the right specialist. Telling you what I did not look at is part of telling you what you are buying.
