This week on Thoughts from the Crawlspace, Jamie goes beyond the standard home inspection to uncover the critical ancillary services every homeowner, buyer, and real estate professional should know. From radon testing (a top concern as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.) to wood-destroying insect inspections, sewer line scans, water quality checks, and more, he breaks down what each service is, why it matters, and when to use it.  

Whether you’re maintaining your current home or preparing for a purchase, this episode will help you make smarter, safer decisions.
