Residential Inspections
We provide the most thorough and comprehensive home inspections in Chicago-land. From roof to foundation, we cover every aspect possible of your home. We thoroughly inspect all major components of the subject property to expose unknown defects and advise you about future maintenance about your home once the purchase is complete
A home is more than just an investment. It is a place for security and peace of mind. Hidden defects can mean long term additional costs, which means financial and personal losses. A "HouseDoctors" inspection will disclose defects and insure the quality of your investment before you purchase. A home inspection is essential for your protection as a prospective property owner. You need the experience of a professional to provide assurance that the representation made actually exists. We invite the client to participate in the inspection.
By becoming part of the process you will gain a better understanding and knowledge of the property while strengthening your decision-making ability. We bring real value and meaning to the inspection, providing plenty of time to review and clarify all issues relevant to the report. We provide a professional property inspection covering all the provisions of the Standard of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).

*Tip to Consider: Home Inspection Mistakes to Avoid
Thorough Mold Inspections
While mold might seem like a small problem, it can pose huge threats to your health and overall well-being. Living in a moldy environment has been linked to a number of illnesses that affect multiple systems of the body. Elderly individuals and children tend to be more impacted by mold, but even healthy younger adults without preexisting conditions or children should take signs of mold seriously. While getting mold inspections might seem like an unnecessary expense, it’s important to get it done as soon as you suspect there might be mold in your house, both for your well-being, the well-being of those you love, and even your house’s well-being.
When you are making sure all of that comes first, and you are safe, your priorities are in the right place. You need to put your health first. Living a healthy lifestyle is one part of staying well, but maintaining a healthy environment is an important part of maintaining wellness. Many people forget how crucial it is to minimize environmental health hazards. A mold inspection is a key step to staying healthy, even if it seems like a hassle sometimes.
As mold inspectors, our job is to spot the mold and confirm that the discolored or oddly textured area in your house is actually mold. We give you the information you need to make informed decisions for putting your health first while treating the mold in your home. Unfortunately, we do not treat mold or get rid of it. We also don’t make recommendations on how to prevent mold from spreading. That task is best left up to professionals who take care of mold in residential properties for a living.

How do I choose my who performs my radon testing?
Call up and ask about their credentials and experience. If for some reason you don't feel comfortable asking this of the inspector when speaking with them on the phone then how will you feel asking questions at the inspection? You must feel that the inspector is qualified, experienced, and attentive to your needs.
Should I be present during the radon testing?
We recommend that you be present at the site of the mold testing, from start to finish.
Why use our Services:
The purchase of a new home is one of the single most costly investments that a family will make. Along with the extra stresses this will add, there is also the fear factor of, "Will This Home Stand The Test of Time?" It is also important to know what YOU, as the primary investor, are getting for your money. A radon test is an excellent tool for you, the home buyer, to help determine not only the condition of the home but to also help foresee any immediate unnecessary additional cost that may go unnoticed without the help of a radon test.
What if I have questions after the radon testing?
You can call us and discuss all the aspects of your new home whenever you like. Our service is a long-term investment. Visit our contact page.
