What we watch for in the valley
- River and creek proximity. Coal River and Kanawha River flooding history makes crawl spaces, sump pumps and grading a priority.
- Original 1950s–60s systems. Sixty-year-old panels, ducts and water heaters are still in service in a lot of these homes.
- Crawl-space moisture and mold. We test properly and send samples to a lab — we don't remediate, so the result is unbiased.
- Thermal imaging. Finds missing insulation, hidden moisture and overheating circuits a visual inspection can't.
First-time buyer friendly
Buying your first home is the biggest check most people ever write. We walk the property with you if you want, explain findings in plain language, and include links and resources so you know what's urgent, what's routine maintenance, and what belongs on a repair request.
