Other Oregon City, OR Home Inspection Services

At Nonprofit Home Inspections, we offer a variety of other services. Learn more about our additional services below.

Mold Testing

Mold can quickly grow on areas of your home that you don’t regularly inspect, such as behind walls and in air ducts. It grows when you have a lot of moisture in your home from leaks or flooding. You might be surprised to learn that mold can grow on a large variety of surfaces, including drywall, paint, dust, and wallpaper.

Mold poses a serious health risk to occupants in a home. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that there is enough evidence to link mold to respiratory symptoms in people who are otherwise healthy. Therefore, if there are any indications whatsoever that you might have a mold problem in your house, then you should absolutely opt for mold testing.

Our inspectors are certified to conduct mold testing. The International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants certification allows us to provide expert mold testing to Oregon City, Oregon residents.

Radon Testing

Radon is an odorless, colorless and tasteless radioactive gas that is produced when uranium decays. Radon is found in soil. Radon often seeps from the ground into surrounding buildings and houses. It passes through holes in concrete, gaps in walls and floors. Any house — old or new — can have radon. The problem with radon is that it is associated with lung cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. The only thing that causes more lung cancer deaths is cigarette smoke.

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one out of every 15 homes in the U.S. has high levels of radon present. Because you can’t see or smell radon, it is important to have your home periodically tested. The International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants has certified our inspectors to conduct radon testing in Oregon.

As a nonprofit organization, we believe that everyone should have a safe and healthy place to live. To help do our part, we offer FREE radon tests for low to moderate-income families. Check out this page to see if you qualify.

Sewer Scopes

It is always a good idea for potential home buyers to have a sewer scope completed before purchasing a home. Problems with a sewer line are not always apparent. To determine the condition of sewer lines, very expensive equipment is needed, which is why we charge extra for this service.

We use the latest professional equipment to inspect your sewer lines. Some of the things that we look for include:

  • Breaks in the sewer lines
  • Structural problems and defects
  • Root intrusion problems
  • Collapsed lines
  • Blockage from debris and foreign objects

Although homes that are 25 years or older have the greatest probability of sewer problems, we recommend sewer scope inspections for all homes regardless of age. There can be major defects in a brand new sewer line.

Tank Sweeps

If the home you are considering purchasing is older and has a forced air heating system, there is the possibility that it may contain an underground fuel oil tank. Getting an oil tank sweep in Oregon City by a licensed technician can help you avoid extremely high remediation costs associated with leaking underground storage tanks. Bundle your oil tank sweep with other home inspection services to save even more money while getting unbiased results.
