“If someone used to live in, we can inspect it and see if it can be brought back to a habitable condition.”

We will systematically go through the home, inspecting each room. We check the roof, attic, structure, electrical, plumbing, and heating. The complete list would be far too long to include here, but please refer to our Sample Report for details. We customize each report to your home, including many pictures. This is imperative for communicating with your Attorney, Realtor, and other interested parties. We always strive to get the report back to you as soon as is possible; sometimes within few hours of the inspection. Your report will always be an accurate reflection of the condition of the home you are hoping to purchase. Surprises are great for birthday’s—not for new homes.

Carpenter ants are excavators, which means they don’t eat the wood. Termites, on the other hand, eat the wood and leave behind fecal matter (looks like mud) in their tunnels and on framing. I have seen termite shelter tubes hang down in crawl spaces over 2 feet long!

Carpenter Ants, Carpenter Bees, Termites, and Powder Post Beetles are all Wood Destroying Insects common in New Jersey. If evidence of any of these Insects is found, we evaluate further for visible damage. We can’t rip apart walls or see through them, but we can prepare a report based on the existence of damage and insect waste. The Termite Inspection report is a separate attachment that accompanies the Home Inspection Report, but you will receive it in the same short timeframe. Most mortgage companies require a Termite Inspection.
