What we watch for in West Virginia

• •Much of the Ohio Valley region falls within EPA Radon Zones 1 and 2, where elevated indoor radon is common - we recommend radon measurement on most transactions.
• •Older housing stock is common across the region, so aging electrical, plumbing, and roofing systems are frequent findings that benefit from an experienced eye.
• •Humid summers raise the likelihood of moisture intrusion and mold growth, which is why mold assessment and thermal imaging are valuable add-ons to a standard inspection.
• •Preferred Inspections is licensed in West Virginia for residential home inspection, radon measurement, and WDO/WDI assessments, so each of these can be handled in a single coordinated visit.
