Environmental Data Resources
Two of AMI’s inspectors (Charlie Rouse and Jim Katen) are qualified (EDR-Certified) to provide neighborhood environmental reports. This type of report can tell you about environmental concerns such as hazardous waste sites, landfills, illegal drug labs and nearby leaking underground oil tanks that may be dangerous to your family and/or your investment. If you are scheduled for a home inspection by Jim or Charlie, this report can be added for an additional fee of $100. For more information, please review this information about Neighborhood Environmental Reports.
