Welcome To Rockland County Home Inspection

Comprehensive residential & commercial inspection for Rockland, Orange, Sullivan and Westchester counties and North Jersey.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD INSPECTION?

Inspecting a residential property takes more than a clipboard and a checklist. It takes a commitment to spend the time and effort needed to do the job right. By it’s very nature, a pre-purchase home inspection is limited — there is only so much that can be determined by a strictly visual inspection. But years of experience can fill in many of the gaps, providing clues to what’s going on behind the scene.

Kahn Home Inspectors has seen it all. They know the outer signs of an inner problem. They also know when something that looks troubling really isn’t. Because the goal of the inspection is not to find everything that’s wrong with a property. It’s to help buyers and sellers determine the real value of the property.

I've used Mr. Kahn multiple times over the last few years for different inspections. He's a super nice guy, very honest, and extremely knowledgeable. He knows everything that a potential buyer will need to look out for and informed me with all info in order for me to make an educated decision. He also knows a lot about mold situations and advised me as such. Would def recommend for others and use him again.

SEPTIC DYE TESTING

Homes in suburban areas may have a septic sewage system to breakdown household wastes.

Our septic dye test provides a basic indication of a leaky system.

WATER TESTING

In many areas water is supplied via private wells and pumps. Due to proximity to the surface, well water may be contaminated.

Depending on the regulation of the local county we can perform water testing to verify that the well water is healthy.

SewerScan Certified Rockland County Home Inspection

SEWAGE CAMERA INSPECTION

A sewer scope is a video inspection of the lateral sewer line from the house to the city main or the septic tank. The purpose of a sewer scope is to discover and report defects that are visible in the lateral sewer line. A sewer scope can find root intrusion, cracks, punctures, corrosion, or misaligned pipe sections. The responsibility of the sewage line from the home to the sewer main is of the homeowner. Ascertaining the sewage line condition before purchasing a home can prevent expensive future repairs.
