Home Inspection Services for Kalamazoo and SW Michigan
What to Expect From Your Inspection
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Ultra Home Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our licensed home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by the American Society of Home Inspectors, the leading home inspection association.
After we walk through the home together, we will carefully explain the general condition of the home and it's systems with you. We will point out any issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for future maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read report
, that will be sent to you in PDF format. From that report, you’ll be able to see the items we discussed, including digital photos for reference.

Optional Service - Radon Testing
Radon is a radioactive gas that is far too common in Southwest Michigan. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water, and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above, and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Radon can also enter your home through well water. Your home can trap radon inside.
You cannot see, smell or taste radon. But it can still cause major health problems if it is in your home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General of the United States has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today.
The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon. If you find that you have high radon levels, there are ways to fix it, and typically home seller's are required to take care of the issue when it is brought to their attention.. Even very high levels can be reduced to acceptable levels.
Ultra Home Inspections LLC can complete radon testing in your home with or without a home inspection. Radon Testing with a Home Inspection is $100. Radon Testing without a Home Inspection is $150.
