Air Duct Inspection (using video camera)
An Air Duct Inspection is a visual inspection of the inside of your air ducts. For this type of inspection, the inspector uses a specially designed video camera which can be extended up to 100 feet inside the air ducts. The inspector and client can then view the inside of the air ducts on a small TV monitor. This type of Air Duct Inspection is helpful in identifying conditions that affect both your cooling system’s efficiency and your family’s health. Some conditions that can be diagnosed by an Air Duct Inspection are:
- Dirt or mold in the air ducts
- Dead animals, trash or other obstructions in the air ducts
- Cracks or other openings/penetrations in the air ducts
Cracks in the air ducts are of particular concern in homes with a sub slab return system because these types of cracks can increase the potential for high levels of radon gas.

The cost for this type of Air Duct Inspection is:
- $300 by itself, or
- $200 if you get an Air Duct Inspection in conjunction with a home inspection or other service
For an additional fee, the client may purchase a copy of the Air Duct Inspection on a VHS video tape, or on a DVD.

Lead Testing: Dust, Soil & Lead-Based Paint (LBP)
Lead can sometimes be present in paint, dust or soil. The only way to know for sure whether or not lead is present is to test for it. This is done by taking a sample of the paint, dust or soil and sending it to a laboratory for evaluation. Lead-Based Paint Testing is generally performed in homes and other properties that were built prior to 1978.

The cost of testing paint, dust or soil for lead is:
- $200 per sample (no minimum), or
- $150 per sample if done in conjunction with a home inspection or other service
To identify the presence of lead in water, you will need a Water Quality Test (Level II or Level III).
