Why Add Ancillary Inspections?

A professional home inspection provides a comprehensive evaluation of many of the property's major systems and components, including the structure, roof, exterior, plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, insulation, and interior.

While a home inspection provides valuable information about the overall condition of a property, some concerns require specialized testing or equipment that goes beyond the scope of a standard home inspection.

Common Ancillary Inspection Services

Depending on the property's age, location, construction, and utilities, buyers may also choose to add specialized inspections such as:

  • Radon Testing – Measures indoor radon levels that cannot be detected without testing.
  • Septic Inspection – Evaluates the condition and operation of the septic system.
  • Sewer Scope Inspection – Uses a specialized camera to inspect underground sewer piping for damage, blockages, or root intrusion.
  • Water Quality Testing – Tests private well water for contaminants and overall water quality.
  • Mold Testing – Determines whether elevated mold spores are present in the indoor environment.
  • Termite (Wood-Destroying Insect) Inspection – Looks for evidence of termites and other wood-destroying insects.
  • Stucco Moisture Probe Inspection – Measures moisture levels behind stucco cladding to help identify concealed moisture intrusion.

Why Buyers Choose Ancillary Inspections

Some of the most expensive property issues aren't visible during a typical walkthrough—and some can't be identified during a standard home inspection alone.

Specialized ancillary inspections provide additional information about systems and conditions that require dedicated testing, specialized equipment, or advanced evaluation techniques.

Together, these services help buyers gain a more complete understanding of the property before closing.

One Visit. More Information. Better Decisions.

Many buyers choose to complete multiple inspection services during one appointment.

A coordinated inspection can save time, simplify scheduling, and reduce delays while providing a more complete picture of the property's condition.
