When wood-destroying organisms such as termites infest a home, serious structural damage can occur. In many cases, that damage is largely hidden beneath exterior cladding and interior drywall, and it can be difficult to spot with the untrained eye. We’re able to perform a comprehensive inspection for damage caused by wood-destroying insects including termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and re-infesting wood-boring beetles.  

Thermal imaging cameras are the latest technology being used for fast, reliable, accurate building diagnosis in a wide range of building problems, from evaluating Heating and AC systems, over-heated electric panels, missing insulation, and moisture problems. My thermal imaging camera helps me see things that other inspectors can’t. That’s why I use it on every inspection.

Mold inspection is a crucial process for identifying and assessing mold growth in residential or commercial properties. This inspection involves a thorough visual examination of the property, often accompanied by air quality tests and surface sampling to detect hidden mold spores. Inspectors look for signs of moisture intrusion, such as leaks or condensation, which can create the ideal environment for mold proliferation. The goal is to determine the extent of the mold problem and identify its source, enabling effective remediation and preventing potential health issues caused by mold exposure, such as allergies, respiratory problems, and other health risks. 

Do you know how safe your drinking water actually is? Contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and heavy metals can pose serious health risks and may not be detected through sight, taste, or smell. Long-term exposure to these contaminants through drinking or other means can lead to serious health problems, including gastrointestinal illness, liver and kidney damage, cancer, neurological disorders, and developmental issues, especially in infants and young children. Water testing can identify the presence of these contaminants and help determine whether treatment is necessary to ensure safe consumption.   

Radon is a radioactive gas that can seep into homes and buildings from the surrounding soil and rocks. It is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, making it impossible to detect without specialized equipment. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can increase the risk of lung cancer, making it a serious health hazard. The safe level of radon in indoor air is considered to be below 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It is important to note that while 4 pCi/L is the recommended action level, any level of radon exposure poses some risk, and lower levels may still be harmful over prolonged exposure. Therefore, it is best to aim for the lowest possible radon levels in indoor air by conducting radon testing and implementing appropriate mitigation measures if necessary. 

Keep your building safe and avoid potential penalties

Beginning on January 1, 2024, every building owner must have an observation of the parapet on their building(s) performed in accordance with the requirements of Section 28-301.1.1 of the New York City Administrative Code.

The observation must include close-up inspections of the entire parapet which could be conducted from a fire escape or roof. See 1 RCNY §103-15 for more information on observation and report requirements.

Owners must maintain the observation reports for at least six (6) years and must make such reports available to the Department upon request.
