Inspection file · Commerce Township, MI
Commerce Township inspections from an InterNACHI certified Michigan LLC with E&O and liability insurance, working since June 2000.
Lake homes here range from 1940s cottages with additions to large rebuilds on the same narrow lots. Walkouts, seawalls, decks and drainage toward the water all need attention.
A Commerce Township home inspector has to look at both sides of the house. Our home inspection covers every system, with infrared to find moisture behind finished walls.
Subdivisions have filled in around the M-5 extension over the past two decades. New homes still come with problems: grading that sends water toward the foundation, missing attic insulation, and gutters that dump at the wrong corner.
Thermal imaging is the best tool on a new house, because it sees what fresh drywall and paint cover up.
Lake lots sit close to the water table, and finished lower levels near the shoreline stay damp. Musty storage rooms and stained drywall at the floor are common clues.
Our NAMP certified mold inspection uses lift tape, swab and spore trap air samples with lab analysis.
The township is rolling glacial ground dotted with kettle lakes, and the Huron River winds through Proud Lake Recreation Area on the west side. Hillside lots move water toward the house every spring.
Our structure and foundation inspection checks walls, footings, framing and grading so you know what a crack really means.
Plenty of older lake homes in Commerce still run on septic, and some rely on private wells. Small lots leave little room for a drain field.
Our well and septic inspection evaluates system and drain field performance and is VA, FHA, RD and USDA compliant.
If the house has a well, the water is yours to worry about after closing. Test it first.
We handle well water testing through MDEQ and Merit labs.
Walkout lower levels get used as bedrooms, offices and family rooms, so the air down there matters.
Our environmental services include a 48-hour ion air exchange radon test and IAQ testing with VOC and TMVOC lab analysis.
Lake listings draw quick offers in spring and early summer. You need the report fast.
The full written report arrives within an hour of the inspection.

Viable and non-viable samples are analyzed by state and local labs.
