If there’s one inspection that matters most for Shore properties, it’s this one.Coastal homes deal with moisture constantly from the outside in. Salt air, storm-driven rain, high water tables, aging foundations, and crawl spaces that flood. Hidden moisture leads to mold, structural damage, and serious air quality problems that don’t always show up in a standard home inspection. I’m IAC2 Certified in both Mold & Indoor Air Quality and Moisture Intrusion and I use moisture meters and infrared imaging to find what you can’t see.
I start on the outside roof, siding, flashing, windows, doors, grading, drainage, and foundation walls. On Shore properties I pay particular attention to areas where storm-driven water has historically found a way in.Every element is checked for signs of water intrusion, improper installation, or deterioration.
Inside, I inspect every accessible area attics, basements, crawl spaces, walls, ceilings, and floors. I use moisture meters and infrared imaging to find elevated humidity and hidden leaks that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Crawl spaces on Shore properties get extra attention. They’re often where the story of a home’s water history is written.

At the Shore, mold isn’t a hypothetical it’s common. Older homes, seasonal vacancies, crawl spaces, and storm history all create conditions where mold and air quality issues thrive. An IAQ inspection goes beyond what you can see. I test the air itself. You’ll know exactly what’s in it.
I inspect for possible sources of air quality issues, including:
Each element is checked for signs of water intrusion, improper installation, or deterioration that could allow moisture into the structure.
The inspection includes three air samples two indoor and one outdoor baseline analyzed by a certified lab to identify airborne mold spores and contaminants.If something looks concerning during the visual inspection, I can take additional air or surface samples on the spot.
