Mold Assessment

Compared to other “mold experts”, we have the unique advantage of being engineers. We don’t just identify mold. We are experts at instructing you on how to prevent mold from coming back! Preventing mold requires control of moisture sources, temperature, and humidity. Ventilation, dehumidification, air conditioning, heating, vapor barriers, insulation, exhaust, and non-permeable surfaces all play a role in preventing mold from returning. We are not beholden to one mold remediator and we are your personal advocate. Learn more »


We are there when you need us, if other issues arise, just like we helped a client in Chili, NY: https://13wham.com/news/local/chili-womans-new-home-turns-into-house-of-horrors

Radon Testing

Our firm provides radon tests in conformance with EPA standards. We utilize state of the art electronic continuous radon monitors (CRM). In some areas of Monroe, Ontario and surrounding counties, radon can be especially prevalent. Although it is not mandatory as part of an inspection, we strongly recommend determining radon exposure levels for the safety and health of you and your family (high levels of radon can lead to lung cancer). If a high radon level is detected, it can be reduced by installing a radon reduction system. The cost of a radon reduction system can often be negotiated as part of the purchase contract.

Fire Escape Inspections

Fire escapes are like insurance policies. We don’t particularly like them or think about them, and we certainly can find better things to do with our money. However, like your insurance policy, your fire escape better be dependable and effective if you ever need it!


The City of Rochester and many other municipalities are requiring fire escape inspections to ensure safe egress of occupants in an emergency. Our office provides fire escape inspections using a practical, common sense approach. Our inspections are performed by engineers on staff at a reasonable cost, and in a timely manner.

Focused Inspections and Structural Inspections

The Licensed Professional Engineers in our firm specialize in existing building construction. It is not uncommon for home and building owners to hire our firm to evaluate specific aspects of a building that they currently own. Examples would include evaluations of roofs, attic ventilation, basement water infiltration, foundation issues, structural framing, new construction methods and materials, etc. Please feel free to contact our office for specific information regarding such services.

Manufactured Home Foundation Inspections

Banks require an inspection by an engineer when purchasing a manufactured home. The home and property must meet accepted HUD standards, or no mortgage can be obtained. Often, the changes needed to comply are minor, and we can specify additional support, anchors, and structural improvements (when needed).


Even if you are paying cash, getting the home inspected is important to protect your investment. We check for proper support, tie-downs, HUD labels, structural damage, and everything included in a standard home inspection.

Chimney Inspections

Our inspections include a visual inspection of fireplaces and chimneys. If we find indications of a problem, we will recommend further evaluation by a chimney specialist or mason. Some of our clients want a separate, detailed inspection performed by a chimney specialist to make sure they can safely burn wood and do not have any problems with the chimney. If requested, we can arrange for an inspection by an independent chimney specialist who will accompany us on our inspection to provide a more detailed evaluation of the fireplace(s), chimney(s) and wood stoves.
