So, you're looking to buy a house or commercial property. Great!
You've found one, you know the asking price, and the bank will approve the loan.
But what surprise costs might the property hold for you?
Now's the time to consult ASKUS!

ASKUS Consulting Services, LLC is here to help you by inspecting your potential home or property. We look for important features the bank's inspector may not, such as:

Are those windows really going to be energy efficient?
Is that paint actually lead free?
How pure is the water supply?
How much life do those asphalt shingles have left in them?
Do you have enough insulation in the attic for a cold Northeast winter?
Is the property graded adequately, so the next rainstorm won't make your home a "houseboat"?
...and many other items.

From single-family homes to commercial sites, ASKUS Consulting offers a wide range of inspection services, including:

indoor air quality testing;
water quality testing --biological and chemical;
insect and pest infestation;
Radon testing;
well flow rate determination;
septic dye tests;
lead testing;
...and over 50 other environmental tests! Just ASKUS!

Why should YOU demand a NACHI Certified Member?
Of the states having inspector licensing requirements, most recognize NACHI certification requirements and ethics standards as meeting or exceeding their own.

NACHI requires its members to continually enhance their ability to serve you. Member inspectors --through chapter meetings, newsletters, and continuing education seminars-- receive and use the latest information about industry standards, building codes, inspection tools, methods, and techniques.

That means YOU, the ASKUS client, will receive service from the cutting edge of the inspection field!

CHARACTER COUNTS!
ETHICS
The Codes of Ethics of NACHI requires that prior to starting any inspection, the certified member inspector and the company s/he represents MUST tell the client about any potential conflict of interest. The inspector CANNOT use the inspection process to obtain work of any kind on the building being inspected.

Additionally, company policy of ASKUS Consulting Services, LLC is even more rigorous. In particular, ASKUS:

forbids any of its inspectors from accepting or offering any compensation for knowledge that was gained by the inspection;
does not allow either itself or any of its inspectors to have any direct involvement in the building trades. ASKUS inspectors are INSPECTORS (full-time) and not carpenters, electricians, roofers, plumbers, painters, exterminators, etc. who "do inspections on the side."

You can be sure that ASKUS Consulting Services has NO conflicts of interest!
