What We Look For on Your Appleton Property
Exteriors & Historic Elements
Whether evaluating vintage siding in Appleton’s older core neighborhoods or modern composite materials in developing suburbs, we inspect siding, trim, and windows for proper flashing and weather sealing to keep out harsh Wisconsin winters.
Fox Valley Foundations
Heavy Fox Valley clay soils put continuous pressure on home basements. We inspect poured concrete, block, and historic stone basement walls for structural cracking, bowing, water penetration, and moisture management systems like sump pumps.
Interior Systems & Electrical
We conduct a thorough visual inspection of all home components, including visible plumbing lines, primary heating/cooling systems, and electrical panels, checking for safe configurations and identifying legacy materials in older properties.
Optional Environmental Add-On Services
Water Quality Testing
We offer optional water testing add-ons for Appleton properties. For older homes on municipal lines, we can check for lead or heavy metals; for outlying Fox Valley properties utilizing private wells, we screen for bacteria, nitrates, and regional runoff contaminants.
Radon Gas Testing
Radon is an odorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas that can build up to unsafe levels in local basements. Outagamie County is a known area for elevated radon, making our professional radon testing a highly recommended optional add-on service during your home inspection.
