Commercial Inspections
Tomacor has been offering commercial inspections for 22 years . Our close attention to detail and budget figures allow investors and buyers to make a clear business decision within a specific economic context or negotiate the latent deficiencies. Nearly all of our inspections discover latent deficiencies and approximately 80% of our clients negotiate price or condition. All these services are offered at less than the price of an engineering inspection which would not include price figures.

Selling Your House
Tomacor offers the most complete inspection available within the inspection community, and for the most affordable price. If you want to know what is wrong with your property before you sell it, then you should call Tomacor. Typically the problems discovered are repaired or disclosed to the new buyer before he/she signs the contract. Our experience is that disclosure engenders trust between buyer and seller. If you want to sell and increase the trust levels for a better deal try telling potential buyers what is wrong with your house; we all know instinctively that there must be a few things.
Energy Audits
Home owners are paying more now for energy than ever before. Expenses for heating, lighting and driving your car are going through the roof. Why not let Tomacor help you manage your bills and even bring them down. We talk "Green" and we talk efficiency. Our fees are reasonable and there is no one better to trust your house to than the experts at Tomacor. Most homeowners should expect a return on their investment close to 100% their first year. We have tailored two types of services for your choosing; The Home Energy Audit and the Home Energy Scorecard. The audit is a thorough evaluation of the premises using state of the art equipment, while the "scorecard" gives you a quick evaluation which is suitable when buying a home or for a preliminary analysis. The choice is up to you.
Environmental Analysis
Commercial property environmental standards are specific and measurable under Illinois standards. Tomacor has developed a unique "team management" approach to environmental hazards when more than a visual exam is needed. Using our trained inspectors and working with local laboratories we have developed a industry standard second to none. This service could be used in a courtroom or for commercial property inspections. Working with local labs and licensed professionals the Tomacor investigation will be thorough and precise. As is always the case our reputation for straight dealing will be protected while we offer you the best analysis available. Call us for a quote.
