Home Inspections:
It takes approximately 3 hours to complete a home inspection on an average size house. Larger houses usually take longer and a smaller house or condominium may take less than three hours. All inspections are performed by a Certified Member of The American Society of Home Inspectors. We follow ASHI® Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. We are fully insured and licensed where applicable.

Our reports are issued within 24 hours of the inspection. Each report is in a narrative format which is easy to read, quite detailed and very informative. Our inspections include information on the Structural Components of the house and the Mechanical Systems which include Heating, Air Conditioning, Electrical and Plumbing. The reports also include Roofing, Siding, Windows, Doors, etc.

Radon Testing:
We offer two types of radon testing, Charcoal Canister testing and Continuous Radon Monitor testing. Both types of testing are EPA and NJDEP approved. Charcoal Canister testing is a basic radon test that most companies perform. We can also perform a Continuous Monitor test. This type of test has many advantages over the Charcoal Canister test. The Monitor test is much more tamper proof. It has sensors in the instrument which will detect movement of the Monitor. It also has a battery in the Monitor that will allow the instrument to continue to operate even if there is a power interruption. Test results will identify whether movement has occurred or whether power was interrupted. In addition, an hourly readout is supplied for every hour the test is in progress. This helps identify severe "spikes" during certain periods of the day or as a result of dynamic weather conditions. There is a modem in the Monitor so once the test is completed, results are sent via Fax, within the hour. In addition to collecting the hourly Radon Level in the house, the Monitor also collects hourly data for the Temperature, Relative Humidity and Barometric Pressure. This is valuable information which could indicate whether windows and doors were opened during the testing period. The Continuous Monitor can have a testing period for as little as 24 hours where the Charcoal Canister test has to be in place for at least 48 hours. So if you are in a hurry, the Monitor is the way to go. Where possible, we prefer to use the Monitor rather than the Charcoal Canister.
