What’s Covered
The air inside your home can contain pollutants, allergens, and contaminants that are invisible to the naked eye but have a real impact on your family’s health and comfort.
Air quality testing is especially valuable for buyers of older homes, homes with known moisture history, or any property where occupants have experienced unexplained respiratory issues.
What’s Covered
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes through the foundation. It is colorless, odorless, and completely undetectable without testing — and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
If elevated levels are found, mitigation systems are effective and affordable. The critical first step is knowing. Clay’s radon testing gives you the information you need to protect your family.
What’s Covered
Mold can grow behind walls, under flooring, in crawl spaces, and inside HVAC systems — often with no visible signs. Left unaddressed, it causes serious health effects and significant property damage.
Clay’s mold sampling goes beyond the visual inspection to collect physical samples for laboratory analysis, giving buyers and sellers concrete data to guide negotiations and remediation decisions.
What’s Covered
A home’s foundation and structural systems are its most critical components. Problems here can be costly to repair and dangerous to ignore.
With 30+ years evaluating North Alabama homes, Clay understands the soil conditions and construction methods that most commonly affect foundations in this region — giving buyers and sellers the confidence to negotiate with eyes wide open.
