Standard Home Inspection

A residential inspection is a visual examination of the physical components and main systems of a residential building. It is important to note that a home inspection is not an appraisal, code inspection, warranty, guarantee or an insurance policy on the condition of the home. During the inspection, I will review the accessible and exposed parts of the house, including the roof, attic, interior and exterior walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, basement and foundation, heating/cooling systems, plumbing and electrical systems. Depending on the size, age and condition of the home, the inspection will take approximately 2-3 hours to complete. After the inspection, I will provide a detailed Inspection Report, including photos and helpful links with information on the home and how to maintain it, within 24-48 hours.

 Pest/WDI inspection

A pest inspection is necessary for certain loan types in certain areas in order to detect any infestations of wood boring insects or other pests in the home. During the inspection, I will thoroughly examine the interior and exterior of the property, including basements and crawlspaces. Upon completion of the inspection, I will provide a report of my findings on the NPMA-33 Form.

Radon Gas Testing

Radon is a dangerous, naturally-occurring, radioactive gas that can cause serious health problems when people are exposed to elevated levels for extended periods. In fact, it's the second leading cause of lung cancer. Homeowners can protect themselves by having a radon gas measurement done, which will show the levels inside the home and if mitigation is needed. Test canisters are sent to Radon Testing Corporation of America located in Elmsford, NY.

Water Quality Testing

For properties with private well water or those with lead water supply pipes, it is essential to have laboratory analysis done. This can include a complete chemical and bacteria analysis, as well as a lead analysis. Doing so can help ensure that the water is safe and free of contaminants. Water samples are delivered and tested at St. Peters Bender Labortory located in Albany, NY.

 Well Water Flow Testing



If you're looking to purchase a property with its own well or private water supply, it is important to consider having the water flow tested. This test can help determine whether the water supply will be sufficient for the household's needs. To conduct the test, water is drawn from an exterior hose bib or any other water outlet in the home and the rate of flow is measured. While the results only reflect the reliability of the water supply at the time of testing, it can still provide some insight into the volume of water available.
