Help customers decide which add-on services may fit their property and concerns.
Decision sheet for radon, sewer, mold, thermal, well, septic, pool, and 11-month warranty add-ons.
This sheet helps customers decide which add-on services may be worth adding to a base inspection.
Common triggers
- Older homes may justify sewer scope, mold/moisture review, or thermal imaging.
- Rural properties may justify well and septic evaluation.
- Certain areas or basements may justify radon testing.
Questions to ask
- Is the concern invisible to a standard inspection alone?
- Would a missed issue create major cost or health concern later?
- Does the property type, age, or location make this add-on more relevant?
Decision rule
- Use add-ons where they answer a real property question, not just because they are available.
- If unsure, compare the service to the age, risk profile, and buyer concern list for the property.
