Why Home and Commercial Inspections Matter
Understanding Property Risks
Many property issues remain hidden until it’s too late. Common risks include:
- Mold growth in basements and crawl spaces
- Radon gas accumulation
- Sewer line blockages or failures
- Lead contamination in older homes
These issues can affect health, property value, and safety. For example, Baltimore homes built before 1978 often have lead paint, making lead inspections a crucial step for families.
Peace of Mind with Professional Inspections
BAS Inspections ensures clients have:
- Thorough evaluations of all structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems
- Actionable insights to plan repairs or renovations
- Documentation that meets real estate and regulatory standards
This reduces the risk of surprises after purchase and ensures compliance with Maryland state regulations.
