Our Services

Whether you are a buyer who just went under contract on a home, or a seller who wants to get a heads up on potential issues before listing your home, we have you covered!

Even brand new homes can have issues, and ACE inspectors are trained to protect you during the construction process. We perform foundation, flashing, pre-drywall, and final inspections.

Most builders provide a 1 year bumper to bumper warranty when a home is sold. Having the home professionally inspected before the warranty expires allows owners to identify defects and have the builder correct them instead of paying out of pocket later.

All homes are not created equal. We have the ability to examine the systems and equipment that are outside the scope of a standard home inspection such as Swimming Pools, Elevators, Central Vacuums, Docks, Boat Lifts, Lawn Irrigation Systems, Solar Electric and Hot Water Systems, Septic Systems, and Generators.

Commercial Inspections are referred to our sister company, Applied Construction Expertise, Inc., or a similarly qualified firm. A team of inspectors will complete field work with minimal occupant disruption. The inspection effort is focused on function, structure and safety conditions. Phase I Environmental and Cost Estimates are available by request.

SC Wood Infestation Reports (CL100's) are available with or without a home inspection. These reports are often required to obtain bank financing and identify prior and active infestations of termites, wood borers, carpenter ants and wood decay fungi.

If repairs are completed on items called out during a full inspection, we can come back out after the fact to make sure repairs are completed properly and fully.

Mold swabs can be taken on visible signs of microbial like growth, and air samples can be taken if hidden mold is suspected. A detailed report with mold types and levels is generated.

We are fully insured, certified & FAA Part 107 drone licensed. Our drone pilot will take brief exterior video of the roof with multiple high definition pictures.

Many modern consumers are concerned about pollutants in the air. ACE can collect air samples and test for the presence of formaldehyde and over 400 common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Our report identifies the compounds found, concentrations, common sources, and recommended corrective actions.

Drain lines are expensive to replace; repairs often involve major excavations and landscape alterations. A sewer camera inspection of the main drain line will identify intrusions, breaks, improper slope, and partial clogs before you buy the house.

A standard home inspection includes testing systems and a visual inspection. The Advanced Mechanical Inspection is performed by a licensed heating and cooling technician who runs diagnostic tests that include refrigerant level checks, current draw measurements, and partial equipment disassembly to determine internal condition of equipment.

ACE's in-house certified specialists provide a basic chimney inspection. This includes a visual inspection of the firebox, photos and a full length HD color video inspection of the flue accessible from the firebox. The video will be provided to the customer along with a detailed report.

Homeowners and lending institutions often need an independent professional to provide progress photos and a report before payment is released. ACE professionals are available to provide prompt, timely site visits!

Most lenders require an engineer's foundation certification to finance the purchase of a manufactured home. An ACE technician will visit the site to collect field data and deliver it to an engineer for analysis. The certification letter is typically available within 48 hours.

The 203k program allows buyers to borrow funds necessary to purchase and renovate properties in one closing. Almost any property qualifies! ACE has certified consultants on staff to perform a Feasibility Analysis, Work Write Up, and Draw Inspections to facilitate the purchase and renovation process. Call for details.

A complimentary phone consultation is provided whenever the ACE inspector finds a condition that merits an engineer's attention. Engineering services for the phone consultation or further evaluations are provided by our sister company, Applied Construction Expertise, Inc., or a similarly qualified engineering firm.

Long-term exposure to radon gas can have serious health effects. Our inspectors test for radon levels inside a structure to ensure the amount of radon is safe per EPA standards. Plan for approximately 5 business before you receive your results. Test runs for 48 hours, lab turn around time is 2-3 days.
