Inspecting homes in Streamwood
A large share of Streamwood's housing dates from the 1960s through the 1980s: ranches, split-levels and bi-levels built during the postwar expansion. These are generally well-built homes, and they come with a specific list of recurring findings.
We look hard at original electrical panels — including Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels, which are a genuine safety concern and still turn up in homes of this era — along with galvanized supply piping, cast iron drain lines, undersized service capacity for modern loads, and attic insulation that was adequate by 1970 standards and isn't by today's.
Split-level homes get particular attention at the lower-level slab and the transitions between levels, where moisture problems tend to appear first.
Streamwood sits in Cook County, which is also EPA Radon Zone 1, so radon testing belongs in the conversation here too.
Neighborhoods we work in: Sunnydale, Deer Point, Oaks of Streamwood, Woodland Heights and Streamwood Green, and throughout the 60107 ZIP codes.

Learn more ›Thermal Imaging (Infrared)
Infrared sees moisture behind drywall, missing insulation and overheating breakers — problems invisible to the naked eye. Included with every inspection.
Learn more ›Radon Testing
Kane and DuPage sit in EPA Radon Zone 1. We place a continuous monitor for 48 hours and give you hour-by-hour pCi/L data.
Learn more ›Why radon matters here
Cook County is EPA Radon Zone 1.
Northern Illinois has the geology to produce elevated indoor radon, and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency recommends that every home be tested below the third floor. Two houses on the same Streamwood street can test completely differently, so a neighbor's result tells you nothing about the home you're buying.
We test with a continuous radon monitor over 48 hours rather than a charcoal kit — you get hourly readings, tamper detection and a result that stands up in a real estate transaction. The monitor is placed during your inspection and collected two days later, which fits inside a normal contingency window.
Reviews
What clients say.
Hardik was our inspector and we have nothing but amazing things to say. He took his time explaining every detail of our home and answered all our questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional — I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Hardik did a wonderful job inspecting our first home. He took his time and explained everything in detail. Thanks to his inspection we were able to negotiate many needed repairs to the home and feel satisfied and confident with our purchase.
We did a pre-listing inspection and fixed the four things he flagged. The buyers' inspector found nothing new and we closed at asking with no credits. Best money we spent on the sale.
