Tools we use:
The Akamai Inspectors use GE Protimiter, Survey Master Pro Moisture meters around showers, tubs, and plumbing walls to test for excessive moisture in these areas, and any other area around the home that shows any indication of moisture stains, problems, etc. We also use laser thermometers to check temperatures at A/C ducts, ovens, hot water faucets, etc.
Customer Satisfaction
is #1 at Akamai:
"I have worked with Akamai Inspection for years. In many cases Tom and Scott have been more than willing to go the extra mile to get the job done for me. They are competent, thorough, and timely. Tom Sena has taught me a lot, and does a great job when he interacts with my Buyers. It’s very nice to work alongside people who have such a deep reservoir of experience and yet also exhibit such Aloha. I highly recommend Akamai Inspection."
