Services Available in Fort Mill, SC
Beyond general home inspections, AHI supports Fort Mill’s growing residential and new-construction market with the following services.
Radon Testing
Radon is an odorless, invisible gas that’s the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. It’s common enough in Fort Mill soil that many lenders now require testing before closing. AHI uses continuous radon monitors to track levels over a 48-hour period, giving you an accurate reading rather than a one-time snapshot. Results are typically available within 24 hours of pickup.
