We offer residential mold inspections, air quality testing for molds and allergens, and radon measurements. We're BBB Accredited and for the past three years have been awarded the BBB Certificate of Customer Satisfaction and Excellence! Our mold inspections evaluate both external and internal conditions of your property and identify when there is mold. We utilize air quality sampling and surface sampling to identify the types and concentrations of mold spores using accredited 3rd party laboratories. Our inspections also identify conditions that could cause mold in the future and can save thousands on expensive remediations. In the event of a small mold contamination, we can remediate to return the area to a pre-mold healthy condition. For larger remediations, we can refer you to a number of excellent remediation companies that we work with. Our radon measurements use state of the art CRM's (Continuous Radon Monitor) that provide important data on radon levels within the environment. We also offer Electret ion Radon measurements for longer term measurements, or for those looking for a slightly less expensive solution. We're fully insured, certified and licensed and we educate our clients while we go about our business!

Tiger Group, Inc. is a Connecticut family owned business providing Inspection Services since 1992. We are licensed and insured. Our 22 highly trained and specialized inspectors provide thorough Residential and Commercial Inspections throughout CT, Western MA, and Westchester, NY. Additionally, we provide Radon and Well Water Testing, and Mold Assessments. We inspect 7 days/week. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
"This review is from a seller where an inspection was performed. The heat was not shut off after the inspection and my family and I walked into 90 degree temperatures because the heat was never turned off when the inspection was complete and it was on for 7 hours until we got home. In addition the mud room has a thermostat and electric heater and that was also left on high which we did not realize until the next day. In addition, to prove a point to a potential buyer he forced a hole through the wood in our detached garage reporting that there are signs of water damage. The garage is from 1930, there has been water in the garage especially when we had the hurricane last year but they could have just written that in the report not damage our property to prove a point. Coincidentally, the same inspector came back with another interested buyer and yet another piece of wood was pulled off from the garage. If that is not bad enough, the same inspector gave confidential information from a previous inspection to a new potential buyer which led to another buyer terminating the deal. I know this as our lawyer communicated with the potential buyers attorney and said that the inspector passed on information about a previous inspection he did at our house a week earlier.. in addition, our neighbor and friends were outside during the outside portion of the inspection and they heard the inspector give the potential buyers and their real estate broker information about the last inspection and what the other potential buyers said. So much for confidentiality."

"BUYER BEWARE Terminated and Reported for Unethical Business Practices, Consumer Fraud, Breach of Contract (3 Counts), Negligence, Extortion of Services, and Verbal Abuse by 3 Associates. Aqua Guys subcontracted Complete Chimney who, on Week 5 of the installation, committed Consumer Fraud by attempting to extort services. The Owner, Mike, said, "If you want this done correctly, you will have to pay twice as much, otherwise I'm going to have to rig it." Aqua Guys then subcontracted Pro Chek Home Services of Danbury (see their reviews on Facebook) who committed Consumer Fraud by attempting to gaslight and intimidate us, then the Manager, John, verbally attacked us over the telephone on a recorded line. The City Inspector required a Third Party Inspector who failed the work of Aqua Guys, Complete Chimney, and Pro Chek for not installing the hardware to manufacturers specifications creating a fire hazard. The Third Party Inspector strongly recommended to discontinue use of the installation until it can be completed to safety and inspection standards. Aqua Guys, Complete Chimney, and Pro Chek deliberately put our family and our home in danger for profit, then they tried to cover it up. On the Better Business Bureau site, Pro Chek claimed they came to our house as "a favor" and at "no charge". Pro Chek claimed we were not clients of theirs. However, we have the appointment confirmation and the $350 charge screen-grabbed.

"Tom and April are indispensable if you are buying a home. Tom and April have inspected multiple homes for me, and their expertise is as good as it gets. As a first time home buyer, I did not know what to look for in some of the older homes in southeastern Connecticut, but Tom was able to explain everything clearly and concisely. He is a very thorough home inspector, and will methodically go through each room, outside of the house, and the basement to show any signs of wear or issues. If you use Sound Home Inspections, you can be sure that because of Tom's years in the field, and knowledge from flipping houses no stone will be unturned!

You can buy DIY radon test kits from a home improvement store and conduct radon testing, but these tests are often inaccurate. No matter the result, you should supplement DIY testing with professional radon detection and analysis. DIYers only have access to passive radon tests, which aren’t as reliable as active tests that professionals use. Plus, it’s very easy for DIYers to make mistakes during testing, leading to inaccurate results. If you’re moving into a new home, have concerns about radon, or are due for an updated test, hire a professional.
Radon testing costs depend on whether you hire a professional radon inspector or DIY test. You can expect to pay $150 to $800 to hire a local radon inspector, and home-testing kits range in price from $15 to $250 from home improvement stores. However, it’s best to trust a professional inspector with this task to ensure accurate results. Plus, if you have radon in your home, your testing company can develop a mitigation protocol to keep you and your family safe from the dangerous gas, so it’s well worth the money to hire a professional.
If radon is present in your home, you can expect to pay around $1,000 for a radon mitigation system or between $780 and $1,250 in most cases. The exact price will depend on the severity of the radon leak, home size, and the protocol the radon specialist develops to remove radon from your home and keep it out. Your foundation type will also affect your radon mitigation system cost, as unfinished basements will cost about $4,600 to seal and ventilate, while crawl spaces without a foundation slab may need extra encapsulation, costing $1,500 to $15,000.
Yes, radon testing is absolutely necessary if you suspect the presence of this hazardous gas, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends testing for all homes in the country. Radon is a pervasive natural gas that can leak through your home’s foundation and seep into the living areas. Unfortunately, the gas is highly carcinogenic and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon testing is crucial for keeping you and your family safe from harm, so hire a radon mitigation specialist to test your home if you suspect its presence in your home.
In most states, radon testing companies don’t need to be licensed or certified by the state, but the companies that analyze the test results and develop radon mitigation protocols do. You should choose a radon testing company that suits your needs, but before hiring a mitigation specialist, check our state licensing tool to make sure the company is properly certified.
