Pest and Dryrot
We detect wood destroying organisms (WDOs) and the conditions where they thrive. We discover if insects are inhabiting or destroying the structure. We identify moisture-related problems that lead to mold, fungi, and wet rot. We are licensed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture as a structural pest inspection firm. Our inspectors are individually licensed as structural pest inspectors.
Radon Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is the second-leading cause of lung cancer. It’s a dangerous health hazard but not hard to test for and mitigate. Depending on where you live in Oregon & Washington, Radon testing might be smart and necessary. Let’s make sure your Radon exposure doesn’t exceed the EPA’s safety recommendation.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
“Geoff does the inspection the way you want to have your home inspected when you’re purchasing a home! Super detail-oriented, efficient, and provides clarity into the things he finds. I couldn’t get Geoff on a previous inspection on an offer that fell through, and had to use a different inspector. Geoff’s inspection was $60 more but 300% better. Bonus: He did thermal imaging on the electrical panel to show possible shorts (I had one). I highly recommend Bennett Home Inspections.”

Camas Home INSPECTION TIPS
Homes Built in the Last Two to Three Decades:
Buying a home built after the 1990s in Camas is fairly straightforward. We do recommend doing a comprehensive home inspection, sewer scope, and radon testing. We also offer re-inspections before closing for peace of mind.
New Construction:
Is the home you purchased a new build and you are wondering if radon testing and sewer scopes are necessary? We get it. Buying new construction in Camas is not a small purchase. We still recommend doing a sewer scope and radon testing to ensure that the builder has done a good job with the sewer line installation and your home is free of toxic radon gas. A small price to pay for peace of mind that your family will be safe and the sewer system will last a long time.
Buying a Camas Home That’s Located in a Rural Area
We have seen some amazing properties in rural Camas. These homes are built on large acreage with great privacy and views. Because of the nature of these homes, you will generally find wells and they will need pest and dry rot inspections.
Water Quality and Private Well Water Testing in Camas Homes
Clean water is critical for keeping your family happy and healthy. However, private well water sources and city water can be tainted.
