Some of the biggest threats to a home and the people in it are the ones you can't see. We test for mold, radon, septic, termite, and Chinese drywall — the concerns that most directly affect your family's health.
Environmental and safety inspections go beyond the standard home evaluation to identify the concerns a visual inspection alone can miss — mold, radon, septic, termite, and Chinese drywall. John Leonard Jr. offers these specialized services so you understand the health and safety picture, not just the visible condition.
These are the issues that most directly affect your family's health and your home's long-term integrity. Mold and radon are hidden by nature, septic and termite problems are costly and often out of sight, and Chinese drywall can quietly corrode a home's systems — so testing is the only way to know what you're really dealing with.
John performs environmental and safety inspections throughout Conroe and Montgomery County as a State of Texas Certified Real Estate Inspector (TREC License #24516). Findings are documented and delivered in a detailed digital report, typically within 24 hours.
Add the specialized tests that matter most to the standard home inspection.
Mold inspection and indoor air quality — identifying growth and the moisture conditions behind it.
Testing for radon, an invisible, odorless gas that can accumulate inside a home.
Septic system evaluation, so an out-of-sight system doesn't become an expensive surprise.
Termite and wood-destroying insect inspection, plus Chinese drywall identification.
A home can look perfect and still harbor problems that affect your health and your wallet. Mold and poor indoor air quality can trigger real health issues and usually point to hidden moisture. Radon is invisible and odorless, and the only way to know it's there is to test for it.
Septic and termite problems tend to work out of sight until they're expensive: a failing septic system or an active termite infestation can cost thousands to correct. And Chinese drywall — used in some homes built during a specific window — can quietly corrode wiring and HVAC components.
Testing for these concerns before you buy means no unpleasant discoveries after closing. You get the full picture, so you can protect your family and negotiate from a position of knowledge.
Your inspection delivers a detailed report — with findings and safety recommendations — explained in plain language.

Sunrise offers mold and indoor air quality testing, radon testing, septic system evaluation, termite and wood-destroying insect inspection, and Chinese drywall identification. These can be added to a standard home inspection so you understand the health and safety picture, not just the visible condition.
Both directly affect the health of everyone in the home, and both are largely invisible. Mold often signals hidden moisture and can trigger real health problems, while radon is an odorless, colorless gas that can only be detected by testing. Knowing they're present — or ruling them out — is essential.
Chinese drywall was used in some homes built during a specific period and can emit compounds that corrode electrical wiring, HVAC coils, and other metal components over time. Identifying it matters because the damage is gradual and easy to miss until systems start failing.
