New Construction Inspections
New homes seldom have the quality of construction compared to homes built in the past. Presently a lot of the work gets subcontracted out to the lowest bidder. As a result, speed and price become a priority, rather than the quality of workmanship. This coupled with multiple sites to oversee. Makes it impossible for the builder to monitor every detail.
For this reason, having the property inspected throughout the various stages of the construction process is a must.

High concentrations of radon as well as a home ill-equipped to disperse it, can cause serious health problems. Although every home in Kansas City and the surrounding areas have some levels of radon present. The only way to determine how much radon is in the home is to have it tested.
Furthermore, it is just as important to have the correct test performed. For this reason, we only test radon levels with digital continuous monitors that are approved by the EPA. Because we want you to know without question if radon levels in your home are not safe.
