INDEPENDENT, CERTIFIED, LOCAL

Lowcountry Homes Hide What You Can't See

Charleston homeowners, buyers, and landlords call me when something feels off — or when they can't afford to find out later. Mold, asbestos, lead, and radon don't announce themselves. As Charleston's independent certified inspector, I give you the full picture before it becomes a problem.

Buyers, Sellers, and Renters

Whether you're closing on a home, listing a property, or moving into a rental, you need to know what's in the air before you sign. Mold and air quality issues don't show up in a standard home inspection.

Symptoms You Can't Explain

Unexplained headaches, respiratory issues, or musty odors that persist are often caused by mold, asbestos, lead, or radon — hidden air quality threats that won't show up without professional testing.

Renovations Uncover Risk

Disturbing walls, floors, or ceilings in an older Charleston home can release asbestos, lead dust, or dormant mold. Test first. Know what you're dealing with before the work starts.

No remediation company involved.

Just the facts.

SIMPLE. TRANSPARENT. NO SURPRISES.

How It Works

⦿ Independent inspection

⦿ Certified results

⦿ Charleston's only inspector with no remediation conflict

01

Inspect

Jeff conducts a hands-on walkthrough of your Charleston Lowcountry property — visually assessing problem areas, measuring moisture levels in walls and flooring, and evaluating your HVAC system for conditions that promote mold growth.

02

Test

Air samples are collected from high-risk areas using calibrated bio pumps and sent directly to Hayes Microbial, our certified lab partner. No guesswork. No in-house interpretation.

03

Report

Lab results typically returned within 24 hours. You receive a clear written report with findings and recommended next steps — from Jeff directly, not a call center.

STRAIGHTFORWARD PRICING. UNBIASED RESULTS.

Transparent, Competitive Pricing

Specializing in Certified Inspections for Mold, Asbestos, Lead, and Radon

As a test-only inspector, I give you precise, impartial results — no remediation referrals, no upselling, no conflict of interest.

We Don't Profit

Independent testing and analysis.

No Cleanup Contracts

We do not provide mold remediation or repair services. Our only job is testing and analysis.

Objective
Findings

Our findings are based on testing results—not on the sale of additional services, repairs, or cleanup work.
