Inspection and testing.
A system works only if every connection in the path is intact, so we check each one.
We inspect new and older systems and test them for continuity, grounding performance and physical condition. Owners call us for a routine check, to accept a new install, before a purchase, or after roofing work.

Questions
- When should a system be inspected?
- On a regular schedule, after roofing work or a renovation, before a purchase, or when no one knows its history.
- What if the inspection finds a problem?
- The report recommends the fix, and our repair work can start straight from those findings.
