As a licensed New Jersey home inspector, we follow the Standards of Practice as described here. In addition to general home inspection, we also utilized state-of-the art equipment including thermal imagining cameras for the interiors and drones when inspecting roofs that are deemed unsafe to walk. Once the inspection is complete, We Inspect NJ will have your detailed home inspection report ready for you within 24 hours! We are always here for our client's to answer any question they may have and we even check-up on our client's 1 month after the inspection is performed! We Inspect NJ value each and everyone of our client's and these core practices convey that to all we have served! 

It is a pleasure to share that We Inspect NJ is a licensed radon measurement technician firm (license #: MET15636). In December of 2022 state standards for New Jersey radon testing have been improved for validity and now align with National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP). Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. with an estimate of about 19,000 deaths a year due to radon exposure. This silent killer is high in New Jersey and we recommend all home buyers to get a radon test to evaluate if the levels inside the home are a concern. Many do not know of the severity of radon and we are here to educate and answer any questions you may have! UPDATE: We are also licensed to test large buildings, schools, and multi-family structures!

What is a Tank Sweep? Tank sweeps are comprehensive inspections conducted to detect the presence of underground storage tanks (USTs) on a property. These tanks were often used in NJ homes during the 1940s-1970s, and they can pose risks if left undetected. We Inspect NJ use one of the highest regarded 2-box locators to perform these very important sweeps. We also recommend that you check with the seller/ your agent if there is a decommission statement for the property on the removal or fill of an old UST. This documentation is very important and typically is from the state/town or even EPA.

Why Are Tank Sweeps Vital for Homebuyers?

• Environmental and Health Concerns: Undetected underground storage tanks can lead to leaks, resulting in soil and groundwater contamination. This contamination can seriously impact the environment and, in extreme cases, your health. As a responsible homebuyer, it's essential to ensure that you're not inadvertently inheriting any toxic liabilities.
• Financial Safeguarding: Dealing with a leaking underground tank can be an expensive nightmare. The cost of cleanup, remediation, and potential legal liabilities can quickly skyrocket. By getting a tank sweep done before your purchase, you shield yourself from unexpected financial burdens and protect your investment.
• Insurance Coverage: Many insurance providers may refuse coverage or charge higher premiums for properties with underground tanks. With a tank sweep in hand, you can make an informed decision and obtain the necessary coverage without any surprises.

Don't let an underground storage tank turn your dream home into a costly nightmare. Invest in the security of your future by including a tank sweep as an integral part of your home inspection. Safeguard your finances, protect your family's well-being, and make a confident decision in the homebuying process. Let us assist you in ensuring your new home is a safe and sound investment!

 Avoid a Stinky Situation:

What's lurking beneath the surface?

Out of sight, out of mind, right? Wrong! Your sewer line could be hiding:

• Cracks and breaks: Caused by age, tree roots, or shifting soil.
• Blockages: From debris, grease, or even collapsed pipes.
• Root intrusion: Invasive roots can wreak havoc on your pipes.
• Pipe corrosion: Leading to leaks and costly repairs.
• Offset pipes: Misaligned sections can cause backups.

Why a Sewer Scope Inspection is Crucial:

• Avoid Costly Repairs: Prevent unexpected, expensive plumbing emergencies.
• Protect Your Investment: Ensure the longevity of your home's plumbing system.
• Safety and Health: Prevent sewage backups that can pose health risks.

Don't let hidden plumbing nightmares turn your dream into a disaster! Buying a home is a huge investment, and you wouldn't buy a car without checking under the hood, would you? The same principle applies to your potential new home's sewer line. 

Thermal imagining cameras provide us a view of the temperature readings of the area being addressed. How is beneficial? It provides the inspector with a tool that can show missing insulation, help locate a leaky pipe, or even identify an electrical breaker that is under too much load. These are just a few examples of how our cameras have improved our comprehensive inspection procedures. To learn more, give us a call!   

Houses built before 1978 could contain lead-based products like paint. Our EPA lead-safe certification allows us to perform lead-dust sampling that can identify possible elevated levels of lead in a home. Although we are nationally certified by the EPA and perform the exact testing practices the state requires, we are not certified in the eye's of New Jersey legislation at this time. There is ongoing discussions on this disagreement but currently we are not allow to provide a "certificate of lead safe status".
