Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate all major systems including structural components, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Inspections last 2-3 hours depending on property size and condition. We provide detailed explanations of findings to help clients understand maintenance needs and potential issues.
Radon Testing
We conduct 16-hour radon gas testing using Rutgers-certified methods. This critical safety assessment identifies dangerous radon levels that could affect indoor air quality. Results help determine if mitigation measures are needed to protect occupants' health.
Electrical System Checks
Our electrical inspections assess main service panels, grounding, GFCI/AFCI protection, and circuit conditions. We identify safety hazards like overloaded circuits or outdated wiring while verifying compliance with current standards.
Plumbing Inspections
We examine main water supply lines, drain-waste-vent systems, and fixture functionality. Our assessment includes checking for leaks, water pressure issues, and proper venting to ensure safe, efficient plumbing operations.
Roof Inspections
Our roof evaluations check covering materials, flashing, gutters, and structural components. We identify wear, damage, or installation issues that could lead to leaks or reduced lifespan, providing clear recommendations for maintenance or repairs.
