Our Services

Property Detectives is Chicago’s most trusted home inspection company.

Residential Inspections

We will accompany you through a walkthrough and inspection of the home you’re interested in buying, and assess its condition using our multi-point home inspection checklist.

Commercial Inspections

By hiring an inspector to look for issues with the property and prepare findings in a report, you will have a better idea of the future costs associated with the building – and whether or not to walk away from the deal.

Radon Testing

Radon is colorless, odorless, and extremely carcinogenic (cancer-causing). It can affect homes anywhere in the US, and the only way to check for elevated levels of radon in your home is with testing.

Mold Testing

If you suspect mold in your home, we’re here to help. We use the latest lab tests and analysis to detect hidden mold that may be in crawl spaces, between walls, and in other such areas of your home, to ensure you and your family are safe from mold infestations.

Water Quality Testing

We work with EPA-certified laboratories to examine and assess water quality in your home. We can check for contaminants such as lead and heavy metals, bacteria, parasites, and other organisms and contaminants.

Termite Inspections

Whether you’re shopping for a home and suspect a termite issue, or you think your current home may be affected by termites, we can provide you with comprehensive testing, and help you understand your options for termite remediation if we do discover an infestation.

We provide inspection services to the Chicagoland area. Our licensed and certified home inspection services include Residential Inspections, Commercial Inspections, Radon Testing, Mold Testing, Water Quality Testing, Termite Inspections, Thermal Imaging and Exterior Drone Inspections.

Communication

Everyone involved, especially the buyers and sellers need to understand and know the condition of the property. Throughout our experiences, we have found it is imperative to communicate and work directly with the client to ensure they understand what is actually inspected and what is not.

Support

Our job is to make sure the client understands all aspects of the inspection process, and we do not stop there. Should you have any questions or concerns after the report you are encouraged to give us a call and we will provide you with an explanation of the report and options to assist you in making a confident decision about your property.
