My home inspection service is a visual and hands on inspection of the structural elements and systems which are readily accessible. This typically includes:
- Foundation
- Roofing
- Exterior, walls, siding etc...
- Porches and decks
- Attic
- Electrical systems
- Plumbing systems
- Interior
- Doors and windows
- Heating and air conditioning systems
- Ventilation
- Fireplaces
I strongly encourage you to accompany me so that you may ask questions and gain a better understanding of the systems in the home.
If you have any questions, or are interested in any other services, please contact me so we may discuss your needs. Inspection Services:
PROFESSIONAL RESIDENTIAL INSPECTIONS:
Single Family dwellings. Townhouse, Apartment (Garden Style) and Detached Condominiums. Duplex and Condex. Multiple Family Dwellings. Mobile and Prefabricated homes.
My inspections are thorough and detailed. They are not just "visual" inspections. I am hands on, operating everything just as you would. If something can not be operated or inspected, you will have a logical reason (usually a safety or access limit). Some items that are typically not part of an inspection are ancillary components such as cable, telephone, internet and intercom systems and wiring. Security alarm systems. Systems on timers such as irrigation or low voltage landscape lighting.
RADON AIR AND WATER TESTING:
I follow EPA guide lines for conducting Radon air and water testing. I am certified by the National Environmental Health Association National Radon Proficiency Program (#104715RT) for Radon testing and I am a member of the Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (#1439). These qualifications are not required by the State of New Hampshire, just by me.
Canisters must sit for at least 2 days. The canisters I use can sit for up to 7 days. The test can be started before the inspection (and collected at the inspection) or placed at the inspection (and collected later). Test results are ready the day the canisters are collected. See the Radon page for more information.
WATER QUALITY TESTING:
If the home has a private Well it is highly recommended that you have a water quality test. I correctly take a sample and drop it off to a Lab. Results are usually ready in 3 days. If a Radon test is being preformed, the water test can also be taken before the inspection when the Radon canisters are placed. In many cases this allows all test results to be ready the day of inspection. Back to top
