Additional Inspection Services

Commercial Property Inspection

We can perform a full inspection of light commercial properties such as restaurants, office spaces, storefronts, and warehouses—with no size limit to the property. We’ll evaluate the readily accessible structural features and installed mechanical systems for repair or maintenance issues that a prospective buyer or investor needs to be aware before taking the next step in a pending real estate transaction.

Radon Testing

When the concentration of radon gas climbs to unsafe levels in a home, it’s unlikely that anyone will notice—and that’s a big problem. Radon is an odorless and invisible cancer-causing gas that forms underground over long periods of time due to the natural decay of certain elements. The gas is slowly released from the ground, where it can then enter a home through small structural openings. To protect your family from the dangerous effects of radon exposure, we strongly recommend scheduling this inspection service before buying a home so that you’re aware of any need for radon mitigation.

Pre-Listing Inspection

This inspection service will help set you up for success when selling a home by providing a full analysis of the property’s condition before you make a listing. You’ll be given information about potential defects and maintenance issues that you can address before prospective buyers start viewing the home.

New Construction Inspection

Before the builder proceeds with the final walkthrough of the new home you’re preparing to invest in, make sure to schedule this inspection service. We’ll thoroughly assess the condition of the property to identify potential areas of unsafe construction, malfunctioning systems, or improper material usage. If we do discover issues that need to be corrected, you’ll be able to talk with the builder to see what can be done before the work is finalized.

Re-Inspections

Once the seller of a home was made aware of issues we discovered during a home inspection, you likely requested for defective areas to be repaired before you would be willing to move forward with a transaction. This inspection service is designed to take place after your requests have been fulfilled by the seller to ensure that the repair work was done correctly.

WDI/Termite Inspection

This inspection service will assess a home for structural damage that has been caused by an infestation of termites or other wood-destroying insects. Often, this damage appears superficial but can in fact extend deep into the structure, so it’s important to have the home evaluated by a professional before you close on a purchase.

Tank Sweep Service

Many older homes in New Jersey relied on underground oil tanks to supply the home’s heating system. This way of heating eventually became obsolete, but unfortunately, many of the tanks were simply abandoned. These tanks can deteriorate over time and leak contaminants into the surrounding soil—potentially causing a hazardous waste problem for new homeowners that can be extremely expensive to take care of. This inspection service will sweep the entire property for the presence of an underground oil tank.
