Expert Panel
Five Disciplines.
One Thorough Report.
The foundation either holds or it doesn't.
We inspect every load-bearing element from sill plate to ridge beam — attic framing, crawl space piers, foundation walls, and floor joists. No guesswork, no visual-only assessments.
Active Foundation Settlement — 4218 Ridgecrest Dr
Discovered 3.5-inch differential settlement on the northeast corner, with diagonal cracking propagating through the block foundation wall. Joist bearing compromised on two bays.
Client negotiated $22,400 structural repair credit before closing. Deal stayed together.
Breaker panels don't lie — if you know how to read them.
From service entrance to outlet polarity, we trace every circuit. We call out Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels, double-tapped breakers, aluminum branch wiring, and missing AFCI protection by name.
Federal Pacific Panel — 7701 Maple Ridge Ct
Identified a 150A Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panel with 14 double-tapped breakers and evidence of prior overheating on the main lug. Breaker failure rate for this model exceeds industry safety thresholds.
Mortgage broker required panel replacement before underwriting. Replaced for $2,800. Loan closed on schedule.
Water finds every path. We find it first.
Supply lines, drain-waste-vent stacks, water heater age and condition, pressure relief valves, sump pump operation — we pressure-test what we can reach and document what we cannot.
Galvanized Supply Line Deterioration — 523 Elmsford Ave
Original 1962 galvanized steel supply piping throughout. Interior corrosion restricting flow to 40% of rated capacity. Water heater installed 2009, T&P valve corroded non-functional.
Agent used report to justify $8,500 plumbing credit. Buyers proceeded with confidence.
You can't smell it. You can't see it. We measure it.
EPA-protocol 48-hour continuous electronic radon testing with tamper-evident deployment. Results delivered with every inspection report. Mitigation referrals provided when levels exceed 4.0 pCi/L.
Elevated Radon — 1882 Stonegate Way
Continuous monitor recorded 6.8 pCi/L average over 48-hour test period in finished basement. Existing passive stack present but not functioning. EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L.
Active mitigation system installed for $1,200 pre-closing. Post-mitigation test confirmed 0.9 pCi/L. Relocation client thanked agent for recommending thorough inspection.
Subterranean colonies work 24 hours a day. So does our report.
Full wood-destroying insect inspection per Maryland DLLR requirements. We inspect accessible areas for termite activity, conducive conditions, and prior treatment evidence. Official NPMA-33 form delivered same day.
Active Subterranean Termite Infestation — 309 Birchwood Ln
Active mud tubes discovered on north foundation wall and sill plate. Probe revealed 18 linear feet of damaged framing in the rim joist area. Evidence of prior treatment 2017 with no renewal.
Seller treated and replaced damaged framing. $4,400 repair documented. FHA loan closed without issue.

Who Can't Afford Surprises.
"InspectShield has been on every one of my listings for three years. I've never had a report delayed, and twice their findings saved my buyers from serious structural issues. That's not a vendor — that's a partner."
"My underwriters stopped asking for re-inspections after I switched to InspectShield. The reports are court-ready — every finding documented with photos, dimensions, and code references."
"We move 30–40 families a year into the DMV. InspectShield handles our rush orders without complaint and their radon testing has flagged three homes that would have been serious liability issues."
"The 24-hour guarantee is real. I've tested it on a Friday afternoon before a Monday closing. Report was in my inbox Saturday morning."
