Buyer’s Home Inspection

With a Buyer’s Home Inspection, you can expect to learn the pros and cons of your future house. We conduct an in-depth walkthrough and will carefully document any defects or other issues. Our goal is to help protect you, along with providing an education about the home’s current and anticipated maintenance needs.

Our home inspector will look at all accessible and visible areas of the home, including:

Structural Systems
Exterior
Roof Systems
Plumbing Systems
Electrical Systems
Heating Systems
Air Conditioning
Interior
Insulation & Ventilation
Fireplaces
Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances

Pre-Listing/Seller’s Inspection

Scheduling a Seller’s Inspection service will provide you with an important heads-up about any existing defects and give you the opportunity to repair items before buyers get involved. It will also put you in a much better position to effectively communicate with any interested buyers. There are many other perks associated with a Pre-Listing/Seller’s Inspection, including:

Find out about any potential deal breakers in time to remedy them.
Avoid surprises when a buyer gets the house inspected.
Some buyers may choose to waive their own home inspection process based on the results of the Seller’s Inspection.
You’ll have the opportunity to assist the inspector, which typically isn’t allowed during a Buyer’s Inspection.
Gain time to gather competitive bids for necessary repairs instead of dealing with rushed, over-inflated bids obtained by the buyer.

New Construction Inspections

Scheduling a New Construction Inspection is a good way to gain peace of mind before move-in day. We will inspect the newly constructed home before the final walkthrough. This provides you and the builder with critical knowledge about any problems that are found, including construction defects. The builder can then fix these issues before you start moving in.

New Construction Phase Inspections

This four-step process is one of the best ways to protect yourself from construction defects. We will inspect the home in four phases:

Framing and Foundation
Electrical and Duct Work
Finish
Pre-Inspection

Booking New Construction Phase Inspections makes it much easier to catch and correct small issues before they become a major problem. Ultimately, this inspection service is a good way to save yourself a lot of time and frustration at the end of the construction project.

11-Month/Builder’s Warranty

Buying a new home is expensive, so the last thing you want to do is pay for repairs that should have been covered by your warranty. That’s why we always recommend an 11-Month/Builder’s Warranty inspection. We will check for any defects that are covered by your warranty. This will give you enough time to make a claim before the warranty expires.

Home Maintenance Inspection

Getting regular Home Maintenance Inspections is just as important as getting an oil change every 3,000 miles. During these inspections, we often find minor issues that can be repaired without costing you an arm and a leg. When these issues are left undiscovered and unrepaired, though, they can become very expensive catastrophes. Protect your investment with our Home Maintenance Inspection service.

4-Point Inspection

Whether your insurance provider requires it or you’re looking for a shorter home inspection, you can find out some critical details with a 4-Point Inspection. Although this service in no way replaces a full Buyer’s Inspection, it does look closely at four of the house’s most critical features. Learn the current condition of the home’s roof, HVAC system, plumbing system, and electrical system.

Loan Draw Inspection

Lenders typically keep builders on a short financial leash to help protect their investment. Before each new loan draw is approved, the lender may require an inspection. During this service, we visit the construction site and report back to the lender about the condition of the home. We also let the lender know if everything appears to be moving on-time and on-budget.

Re-Inspections

Avoid a nasty surprise after move-in by getting a Re-Inspection before closing on the home. We will double-check everything to verify if all agreed upon repairs were fully completed. This inspection service is also a good way to ensure that nothing has gone awry in the house since the initial Buyer’s Inspection.

WDO/Termite Inspection

Wood-destroying organisms such as termites are responsible for $5 billion in annual damages throughout the nation. The most destructive breed is the subterranean termites, which eat 24/7. Unfortunately, this breed is also the most prevalent WDO in New York and New Jersey. We offer professionally outsourced WDO/Termite Inspections to bring you peace of mind.

Water Testing

Water is our most vital resource. After all, humans can only live three days without it. But if the water coming into your home is filled with pathogens or bacteria, you or your family could easily get sick. To help you avoid this problem, we offer professional water testing. Find out the quality of your future home’s water before you start drinking it.

Commercial Buildings/Property Inspections

It’s just as important for businesses to get their future buildings inspected as it is to schedule a home inspection. We provide this inspection service for a wide variety of commercial property types such as strip malls, storefronts, warehouses, and industrial buildings. A Commercial Building inspection will help you learn about any defects or potential safety issues that could harm your employees or customers.

Mold Testing

Mold is much more than just an allergen. It can also cause extensive damage to your property. In fact, the average cost of mold remediation ranges from $500 – $6,000, with some repairs soaring as high as $30,000. To help you avoid this type of home ownership nightmare, we provide Mold Testing as an add-on to your other inspection services. Make sure you’re not buying someone else’s headache by booking your mold test today.

Drone Inspection

For this inspection service, we’ll focus on identifying potential issues with a property’s roofing system. An aerial drone will be used to take detailed photographs and video of the roofing system that will allow us to clearly see where and why a problem may be occurring.

The Best Tools for Your Inspection

Ensuring you receive a highly accurate inspection report takes more than just an experienced eye. It also requires the right tool for each part of the job. Salvatore spares no expense when it comes to maintaining some of the industry’s most trusted tools, including:

Thermal Imaging – For an additional fee, your home can be scanned with thermal imaging. This tool can find sources of energy loss, moisture, and insulation issues.

Aerial Drone Photography – The newest addition to Sevens Inspection Services will soon be flying through the air over roofs in New York and New Jersey. This is a fantastic way to get a close look at a roof from the ground.

360-Degree Camera – While attached to a telescopic pole, this high-tech camera captures images in some of the hardest to reach places, including crawlspaces.

Moisture Meter – This tool makes it easy to find areas of the home that attract moisture and mold.

Carbon Monoxide Detector – Because it has the potential to be deadly and can’t be detected otherwise, Salvatore always uses this tool to look for carbon monoxide in the home.

Gas Leak Detector – Small gas leaks often go unnoticed until they’ve gotten way out of hand. You can avoid that problem by having Salvatore check for any existing gas leaks.
