Navigating Happy Valley’s Unique Property Needs

Happy Valley is home to some of the finest new developments in Oregon, but the local geography presents unique challenges that a "general" inspector might miss:

Sloped Lot Drainage: Many Happy Valley homes are built on significant inclines. We pay special attention to retaining walls, foundation drainage, and potential soil erosion issues.
New Construction "Speed" Defects: In rapid-growth areas like Rock Creek, we frequently find "finish-work" errors, such as improper attic ventilation or unsealed window flashing, that lead to moisture issues in our PNW climate.
Elevated Radon Risk: Much of Happy Valley sits on rocky terrain where radon gas can easily collect in lower levels. Our 48-hour electronic testing is a must for any home in the area.

Yes, we specialize in 11-Month Builder Warranty inspections for homeowners in Happy Valley. If you moved into a new build within the last year, our professional evaluation identifies structural, electrical, and plumbing defects that your builder is responsible for repairing before your warranty expires. Don't let a builder's oversight become your financial burden.
Even in newer Happy Valley developments, a sewer scope is critical because the area's steep terrain can lead to "bellies" (low spots holding water and debris) or disconnected joints in the line. Heavy construction equipment used during the building process can also inadvertently crush or shift PVC lines. Our high-definition fiber-optic cameras provide a clear view of the line all the way to the city main, preventing $10,000+ in future repair costs.
Yes, radon testing is highly recommended for all homes in Happy Valley due to the rocky soil composition of Mt. Scott and surrounding hills. Radon is an odorless, radioactive gas that can seep through foundation cracks. Because many Happy Valley homes feature daylight basements or lower-level living spaces, an electronic radon test is the only way to ensure your family's air quality is safe.
We offer flexible online scheduling 7 days a week and provide same-day digital reports for all Happy Valley inspections.

Builders Make Mistakes Even reputable builders can miss things, there’s lots of subcontractors on-site and many moving parts with one supervisor overseeing the whole project. Common issues are — missing areas of exterior paint, improper landscape grading, exterior siding issues, HVAC issues, missing insulation, etc. A third-party inspector may catch problems the city inspector didn’t.
