The cost to repair or replace a sewer line can vary greatly. Anywhere from $1000 for a simple jetting to $25,000 or more!, depending on the extent of the damage, the location of the damage, and how much digging is involved.  This kind of unseen problem could ruin your dreams.  That's why we include a Sewer Camera Inspection in our Silver and Gold home inspection packages.

Your home inspector can test indoor air quality for mold spores and other contaminants.
Surface Sampling: Test surfaces for mold growth through swab samples to identify types of mold present and recommend remediation if necessary.

A Radon Mitigation system for the average home in Pittsburgh can cost between $1500 - $2500. The decision to mitigate is base on a 48 hr test, which can give you different results based on the time of year. A long-term tests measures radon over a period of three months to one year. The extended period, accounts for variations in radon levels that fluctuate daily and seasonally, giving you a much more accurate reading.  So, at HICO, instead of giving you a 48 hr test that may not be accurate, we would rather provide you with your very own Long Term Monitor for the same price as the 48 hr test.
