Roof survey on every single-family inspection, no add-on fee
Typical turnaround from inspection to full report
Cape Cod based, serving Barnstable through Middlesex County
Drone roof surveys and wood-destroying insect reports are included on every single-family inspection. Thermal imaging, radon, and water testing are available as additional services.
Roof to foundation review of structure, systems, and safety items, explained on-site in terms you can act on.
Included on every single-family inspection. UAV roof and chimney footage catches damage invisible from a ladder, without anyone climbing onto the roof. May be limited in restricted airspace, typically near airports.
Included on every single-family inspection — the WDI report most lenders require, with no separate scheduling or fee.
Included on every garden condo inspection. Available as an additional service on single-family homes to find hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots.
48-hour continuous monitoring with lab-grade results delivered directly by WAVE, so you know before closing — not after moving in.
Lower-cost option. Canisters are placed at the time of inspection only — pickup, paperwork, and mailing to the lab are the client's responsibility.
Private well water sampled and lab-tested for the contaminants Massachusetts lenders and buyers ask about.
Flow rate and recovery testing for private wells — critical data for homes not on municipal supply.
A photo-documented digital report within 24–48 hours, plus a same-day verbal walkthrough of major findings.
Included at no extra cost with every single-family inspection — and available as its own standalone service if you just need the records checked, no inspection required. Delivered as separate documents, not part of the home inspection report.
The municipal property card is checked against what's actually on-site — bedroom and bathroom count, and advertised square footage vs. actual. Mismatches on either are a red flag for unpermitted work.
Current FEMA flood zone designation for the property, provided as its own document for insurance and financing conversations.
For homes built before 1978, public lead paint records are checked and provided as a separate document. Not a certified lead paint inspection — a licensed lead inspector is recommended for testing.
State environmental database checked for reported chemical spills at or near the property, provided as a separate document.
Every single-family inspection includes an aerial roof survey at no extra cost — steep or unsafe sections get inspected from the air, not skipped or guessed at from the ground. May be limited in restricted airspace, typically near airports.
Included on every garden condo inspection. On single-family homes it's available as an additional service, finding hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots.
The town's property card is compared against what's actually built — extra bedrooms or bathrooms, or advertised square footage that doesn't match, are flagged as signs of unpermitted work before you close.
Fully licensed Massachusetts home inspector, carrying insurance for every job — a properly credentialed inspection, not a side hustle.
Findings written for buyers, not inspectors — every issue explained clearly enough to act on immediately.
Agents regularly tell us it's the most thorough inspection they've seen on a listing — that's the standard every visit is held to, drone survey included at no extra charge.
The drone survey and detailed reporting come up in almost every review — so does the fast turnaround.
John's inspection uncovered issues that changed our whole view of the property. What we saw was hands-down the most careful, professional inspection process we could have asked for.
He showed up ahead of schedule, spent hours going room by room, and walked us through everything he found. The drone footage of the roof was a genuinely nice touch.
Both agents on our deal said they'd never seen an inspection this detailed. The written report backed it up with sharp, high-resolution photos throughout.
We've relied on WAVE for over fifteen years now. Consistently accurate, always responsive, and the findings have steered us clear of costly mistakes more than once.
Arrived early to get drone photos before we even started, then spent four and a half hours covering every room without a break. The report landed the very next day.
Nothing gets past him — if there's a concern anywhere in the house, he'll find it. Priced lower than other inspectors we called, without cutting any corners on thoroughness.
