Expert Home Inspectors in Binghamton, NY

A home inspection will cover all areas of the exterior of the property. The inspection also covers all accessible areas of the interior, from the basement to the attic. It also covers all mechanical systems including heating, electrical, air conditioning, as well as all appliances. Clients can also refer to New York State Home Inspector Standards of Practice for a complete list of items that will be inspected.

Yes, as a home inspector I would highly recommend that my clients attend the inspection. I would also recommend that clients ask questions during the process and address any concerns that they may have.

Yes, we use a narrative style report that will include numerous pictures of the defects and/or items that need maintenance. We also utilize a drone to take pictures of areas that are not accessible with a ladder (i.e. steep roofs and tops of chimneys).

We recommend that all clients test for radon during the time of the home inspection. We are a NYS Laboratory for Radon (NYS ELAP 11989) and use a continuous monitor which provides more data than a charcoal cannister.

A highly concentrated dye is inserted into the waste system and approximately 50-70 gallons of water per bedroom is ran into the septic system. Upon completion of running the water into the septic system, the leach field and septic area is inspected to see if there is any visible signs of dye surfacing. If dye is visible, it would be considered a failing septic dye test. However, other defects may show issues within the septic system. We are also registered with Broome County Environmental Health to install septic systems.
