Discover More Services

Termite/Wood Destroying Insect Report

We work with local pest control companies to inspect for past and present signs of wood destroying insects. Learn more about the destructive potential of termites from the EPA here.

Radon Testing

Discover will place a CRM (continuous radon monitor) in the home for a minimum of 36 hours. Upon retrieval we will produce a report and provide guidance on the results. Radon gas should not be taken lightly and we price this service as competitively as possible to try and make it accessible to everyone. Learn more from the EPA about the hazards of Radon here.

Septic Inspection

We pride ourselves on being fully licensed by the state to carry out Septic Inspections. Having an Inspector that is licensed to perform both your Septic and Home Inspection is very beneficial and just another reason why Discover Home Inspections is your best choice. We also provide this as a stand alone service. Learn more from the EPA about Septic Systems and the responsibilities of maintaining them here.

Septic w/ Pumping

Discover Home Inspections will arrange to have the Septic tank pumped at the time of inspection. This provides an opportunity to inspect the tank empty.

Well Inspection

Discover will perform a visual inspection of the well components (well head, well head cap/seal, well pressure tank, attached plumbing, and the well pump electrical control systems). Learn more from the EPA about living with a private well here.

Pool/Spa Inspection

Our Pool Inspection service ensures that your swimming pool is safe and compliant. We provide a detailed report on the condition of the plumbing, filters, lights, valves, pumps, motors, electrical, heaters, and safety barriers. We then recommend any necessary repairs to ensure that your pool is in top shape. Learn more about pool safety from the red cross here.

Note: Pool covers must be removed prior to arrival.

Sprinkler/Irrigation

Make sure that irrigation system advertised in the listing works as it should. We'll inspect the valve, manifold, and nozzles to make sure it's ready for use.

Lab Testing/Analysis

Mold Surface Swab

Discover will swab suspected mold growth (or air duct) and send it to a certified Lab for identification. The report will provide information to help understand the level of concern. The price is per swab sent to the lab (usually only 1 is needed). Learn more about the hazards of mold from the EPA here.

Airborne Mold Test

Discover the presence of mold spores in the air by having us test multiple areas using lab provided canisters and calibrated equipment. The samples are then sent to the lab for analysis. A report will be provided to help understand the level of concern. Learn more about the hazards of mold from the EPA here.

Lead Testing - Lab Analysis

Discover if your home has been painted using lead based paint in the past. A sample will be needed (with permission of seller/owner) that will be sent to a Lab for analysis. We can also test the soil near a home for lead as levels can get very high from lead based paint chipping/and weathering over the years. Learn more about the hazards of lead from the EPA here.

Asbestos Testing - Lab Analysis

Discover if that suspected material actually contains asbestos or not. We will collect a sample and send it to the lab for analysis. Learn more about the hazards of asbestos from the EPA here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a home inspection exactly?

It's a non-invasive inspection of the Structure, Exterior, Roof, Plumbing, Electrical, Hvac, Interior, Insulation/Ventilation, Fireplace, and built-in appliances. NC has specific inspection standards that must be met as a minimum concerning all the items listed above. Discover Home Inspections goes beyond these standards by using thermal imaging and drones.
Can I tag along during the inspection?

Absolutely! We encourage attendance and all the questions you can think of.
Why would I get a new home inspected?

I could write a whole book on this one but we'll keep it short and sweet. New Construction, especially in rapidly growing areas, is full of inexperienced contractors. There is no other choice as demand for sub-contractors grows (framers, roofers, plumbers, etc.), they have to hire and train new employees.
