Whatever Your Reason

Wertz Construction is the Inspector for You!

Buying a New Home

You are making one of the biggest investments of your life. Protect it and yourself with an Inspector you can trust to give you an honest report. Not only will you feel better about the home you are buying, but you may save some money if there is work needed before you close.

Peace of Mind

You love your older house and have lived there comfortably for years. Having periodic inspections will help you stay ahead of costly repair bills. Knowing something needs fixed or replaced before it fails, will save you considerable time and money in the long run.

Energy Savings

With the rising energy costs, home owners need to be aware of leaky doors, windows and areas of the house that are forcing their utility bills to climb. Let the professionals at Wertz Construction help you identify areas where you can improve your energy efficiency.

Radon Testing

If you are buying or selling a home or have never had your home tested for radon gas, getting a professional radon test can protect you and your family from health issues. Radon is a colorless and odorless gas formed by the decay of uranium in soil and rock. Radon can enter the home by moving through concrete cracks and common building materials like wood and sheetrock. Over time, radioactive radon gas can build up, leading to poor indoor air quality and health issues for you and your loved ones.

Currently, Radon is the 2nd leading cause of Lung Cancer. Pennsylvania and Maryland both have high levels of Radon, with York County being the highest average levels in the entire state!

Thermal Imaging

When it comes to home inspections, using thermal imaging is a vital part of a thorough, accurate report. This process involves using a special tool that looks for red flags such as air leaks, heat loss, and other issues. Quality home inspections should include thermal imaging as part of their services. This process helps you identify possible problem areas before you commit to buying a home. For example, if there is a significant amount of heat loss in the attic, the seller may need to add more insulation or even install a new roof. With the help of thermal imaging, you’re able to make better decisions about your next real estate purchase.

Regardless of how your doors and windows may appear, without a Thermal Imaging Inspection, you really have no idea how much of your heat or cool air is escaping.

I See What Others Miss

This chimney and roof was signed off on by another inspector. Because of what they could see with their own eyes, they decided to call me in for a second opinion. Not only did the chimney have structural damage, but the roof around it needed to be replaced from water leaking in through the cracks in the chimney.

Your home is one of the largest financial investments you will make in your life. Don't trust it to just anyone. When it comes to inspecting your home, Wertz Construction is the professional you can count on in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Call (443) 253-5428 or book your inspection here!
