Trusted across the Pacific Northwest
I provide thorough inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners across Port Townsend, the Olympic Peninsula, and Greater Puget Sound.
Homes in this region deal with a lot of rain, humidity, moss, drainage issues, and moisture problems. A detailed inspection helps you understand what’s really going on with the property so you can avoid expensive surprises later.
Most inspectors just point out problems and hand you a list of referrals. I take it further — I explain what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what you should do next.
A detailed visual evaluation of the home’s major systems and components, including the structure, roofing, exterior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interiors, insulation, ventilation, and more.
Special attention is given to moisture intrusion, drainage, grading, siding condition, and other building-envelope concerns common in high-rainfall climates.
Ideal for: Buyers, sellers, and homeowners seeking a better understanding of their property.
Evaluation for signs of wood-destroying insects, fungi, rot, and conditions that may encourage pest activity or deterioration.
Moisture, poor drainage, and inadequate ventilation can create ideal conditions for damage in crawlspaces, framing, and other concealed areas.
Ideal for: Real estate transactions and homes with suspected moisture or pest concerns.
Crawlspaces are among the most vulnerable areas of Pacific Northwest homes. Inspections evaluate conditions such as standing water, excessive moisture, vapor barriers, ventilation, insulation, wood deterioration, pest activity, and drainage concerns.
These areas can reveal developing problems that may not be visible elsewhere in the home.
The attic is evaluated for roof-decking conditions, insulation, ventilation, signs of leaks, improper exhaust venting, moisture accumulation, and pest activity.
Proper attic ventilation is especially important in the cool, damp Pacific Northwest climate, where trapped moisture can contribute to deterioration and microbial growth.
A detailed review of roofing materials, flashings, penetrations, gutters, downspouts, drainage, moss growth, visible wear, and general roof condition.
Regular evaluation is important in a region where frequent rain, moss retention, and changing temperatures can accelerate roof deterioration.
Home inspections are not only for real estate transactions. Routine maintenance inspections help current homeowners identify developing concerns before they become expensive repairs. These evaluations focus on areas that tend to deteriorate quickly in the Pacific Northwest, including:
A proactive inspection can help you prioritize maintenance, protect long-term property value, and address small problems before they become major ones.
Homes throughout the Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound are exposed to extended periods of rain, humidity, and damp conditions. These conditions can contribute to:
A thorough inspection helps identify both visible defects and conditions that may contribute to future damage.
A strong option for homebuyers who want to evaluate both the home and the condition of the underground sewer line.
Ideal for properties with septic systems where both the home and wastewater system need to be evaluated.
Useful for properties where wastewater, drainage, or underground system conditions are a particular concern.
Combine a home inspection with sewer camera, septic O&M, and environmental testing for a broader evaluation of the property.
Whether you are buying, selling, or maintaining your home, a professional inspection can give you the information you need to move forward with confidence.
