Client Testimonials

Thank you John, I received the inspection report and I have to say I am very impressed at the thoroughness of it. I just went though the whole report and it was very easy to understand and loved the pictures in the report. I just emailed it to my Atty I am sure I will be discussing issues with him tomorrow. Thanks for explaining everything and for being so patient. You are a true professional.

I actually researched dozens of inspectors, I contacted John approximately 10:15pm and he answered the questions I had concerning the services he provides. I could not have made a better choice he saved me thousands and helped me�re-negotiate my contract with his findings.

"Thanks so much for such an amazing job on the inspection and for such a thorough and detailed report! I have to say - I remember the last home inspection we did about 6 years ago when we bought our last house - and I thought our inspector at the time was really good. Mind you, it was a smaller house, but his report was like 8 pages. Yours is over 40 with pictures and coverage down to the individual outlet, window, etc. So much really valuable detail!"

Proper venting can prevent mold growth

Mold
The most significant problem of an improper Bathroom ventilation is the potential growth of mold in attics. Mold may appear to be several colors but can never be identified with certainty without being tested by a professional lab. Health issues caused by mold are most times related to high concentrations of mold spores in the indoor air. Mold release these spores when they reproduce. Every home has mold in some form or another. Moisture contents of about 20% or more in surfaces will cause mold to propagate. Inhaling spores can cause health issues in those with asthma or allergies, and can cause significant health problems in those with respiratory issues or compromised immune systems. (more…)

Bathroom vent fans are designed to discharge moist air to the home’s exterior. Typical systems consist of a ceiling fan unit connected to a duct that terminates at the roof line.

Fan Function
The fan may be controlled in one of several ways:
- Most bathroom vent fans are operated by a conventional wall switch.
- Sometimes a timer type switch may be use to operate the fan.
- A humidistat can be installed to turn the fan on and off if high levels of bathroom humidity are detected. (more…)

Electrical panel inspections

Electrical panel boxes contain circuit breakers or fuses that act as over current protection devices for the electrical circuits that are installed in the home. If electrical current exceeds the capacity of the wire to carry it safely the circuit breaker will trip and stop electrical current from flowing. This can help to avoid a house fire and electrical shock. (more…)

Window bars and egress safety

By : admin | In : New Jersey Home Inspections

Window bars are usually metal bars installed over windows in order to help keep intruders out. The problem is that window bars can also prevent escape from the home in the event of an emergency. There are roughly 25-30 people a year that are injured or killed by the inability to escape a residence due to the installation of window bars. The risk of unwanted entry into the residence is greater in the minds of home owners then the inability to quickly escape the home in the event of an emergency. (more…)
