Termites Can Be Destructive

 

When you are buying a home or commercial property in NJ a Termite Inspection is essential. Generally, Termite and Wood Destroying Insect Inspections are not expensive, but can save you money in heavy repair costs that are the result of termite damage. Your home is usually your most valuable asset and the cost of a Termite Inspection is certainly worth it.  Aurora Home Inspections LLC offers certified Termite Inspections in NJ.

If there is a mortgage involved in a home buying or selling transaction, the bank will most likely require a Termite Inspection. Aurora Home Inspections LLC is a certified and highly qualified Termite Inspection Service located in Bergen County NJ and serving all of Bergen County as well as surrounding areas of NJ and some in NY State.

 

You Can’t Always See Termite Damage

 

Although Termite or Wood Destroying Insect damage is not always visible, it can be damaging your home for a long time before it is noticeable. Termites destroy wood by eating it from the inside out and avoid light, so you won’t know that they are present until they have caused a lot of damage. The answer is to have a Termite and Wood Destroying Insect Inspection. Having this inspection can also become a negotiating point when buying or selling a property.

Summer In NJ Can include Damaging Storms

New Jersey can be a summertime paradise. There are miles of ocean coastline and beaches, tons of lakes and rivers to enjoy, acres of woods and great hiking trails. Along with all of this wonderful recreation activity, we sometimes experience major storms, even hurricanes. These storms can really test our preparedness. Aurora Home Inspections LLC is a certified home inspection service covering Bergen County NJ and surrounding areas of NJ and NY. We offer a few tips that can help you to be prepared for extreme NJ summer weather.

Plan For The Worst

Assign everyone in your household a particular task. Someone should take care of pets, someone else should be sure medications and important documents are readily available. Another person should be in charge of an emergency bag with flashlights, water, blankets, etc. It is a good idea to choose a place in your home that is secure where you can take cover in worst-case situations. Take photos of your home and its contents to provide to your insurance company if damage occurs.

Be sure to have phone numbers for your local Emergency Squad, and your insurance company at hand. After a major storm, contact family and friends to let them know where you are and that you are safe. Have backup chargers for phones available in case of a power outage.

Know How To Turn Off Utilities In Your House

If there is a threat of flooding, you may need to turn off water, gas and electricity before evacuating. If you live in a flood-prone area, lift important or vulnerable items off the floor or take them to a higher level.

If flooding has occurred the ground may be electrically charged by downed power lines. Check for fallen wires and if you see them contact the utility company. Before leaving the house, wait to hear from authorities that it is safe to walk on the outside ground.

Take Precautions If Your House Has Been Severely Damaged

If your home has been damaged, don’t go inside, there could be the possibility of collapse. This is when professional help is needed to assess the damage. Take pictures of the damage to support future insurance claims. Contact your insurance company to begin the process of making a claim if there is substantial damage to your house and belongings.

A Home inspector can offer assistance

Health Issues Attributed To Mold

Mold forms and grows in dark, wet places where moisture goes unchecked. Sometimes this mold can begin to be a health threat to members of the family, even pets. Homes that are close to bodies of water generally are more prone to mold growth because of increased moisture in the air and in the ground. When a family member is ill and a diagnosis is not clear-cut, it could be mold. It may be an allergic reaction, and sometimes it develops into a more serious health issue. Often mold may threaten health in NJ homes.

 

How Do You Know If There Is Mold?

 

Sometimes mold is obvious visibly and through smell. Most of the time however, mold is invisible and wafting on the air. If you suspect mold in your environment, a thorough mold inspection by a certified Mold Inspection Service is a good idea. Aurora Home Inspections LLC offers qualified mold inspections using up-to-date techniques performed by certified, knowledgeable and experienced technicians. We take samples from the air and from surfaces, and knowing where to look we can measure the temperature and humidity level in your house.  A mold inspection is essential because mold may threaten health in NJ homes.

 

Certified Mold Inspections Can Prevent Health Issues Caused By Mold

 

Most often homeowners are unaware of the presence of mold. Aurora Home Inspections offers certified mold inspections and testing, either as part of a home inspection or as a separate specific inspection for mold. For a comprehensive Mold Inspection call Aurora Home Inspections at (201) 476-9200. We are located in Bergen County NJ, but we serve a large area in and surrounding Bergen County.

 

 

 

Your Checklist For Engaging A Home Inspection Service

 

When buying or selling a house, you will need a home inspection. You want a thorough home inspection and this means hiring the most experienced, certified inspector. Aurora Home Inspections LLC, located in Township of Washington, Bergen County NJ is the most qualified Home Inspection Service in NJ and we serve a large part of New Jersey and some areas of NY State. Checklists for detailed Home Inspections in NJ are an essential tool.

Your quest for a home inspector could start with recommendations from a family member or close friend. Recommendations can go a long way. Another good criterion for hiring a home inspector is if they belong to respected industry organizations and trade groups. A home inspector should be licensed and certified and seeking continued education in the field. Aurora Home Inspections offers a long list of qualifications and memberships.

Regarding price, proximity to your location should be taken into consideration. A local inspector will be familiar with regulations and standards in construction and codes for your area. Although cost should not be the only criterion, travel time can factor into the cost of an inspection.

Both old and new construction should be inspected. Just because a property is “up to code” doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be looked over. If you are present during the inspection, and this is a good idea, ask lots of questions and engage the inspector in conversation regarding your inspection.

 

Your Inspector Should Also Have A Checklist

 

A Home Inspector’s checklist should typically include the following:

• House Construction – Foundation
• Exterior and Interior
• Roof
• Plumbing
• Electrical
• Heating and Air Conditioning
• Indoor Air Quality

To obtain a really thorough inspection, ask about add-ons to your contract. Make yourself aware of what should be included in a standard home inspection report.

What Is Radon And How Does It Enter A Home?

 

Radon is an odorless, colorless gas that occurs naturally in the environment. It is the result of a breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. Radon can enter your home through the ground where there may be cracks in your house’s foundation. It can also enter through groundwater, and sometimes through building materials. The EPA suggests that all homes sold in the U.S. be tested for Radon. Aurora Home Inspections performs Radon Inspection and Testing in Bergen County NJ and nearby surrounding areas including NYS. We also offer Radon Inspection and Testing for Multi-Family Properties, Schools and Buildings or Commercial Property.

 

Health Risks

 

Exposure to Radon gas can be responsible for respiratory conditions and sometimes can cause lung cancer. When Aurora Home Inspections conducts an inspection for Radon and it is found to be above acceptable levels, we recommend remediation. We do not remediate, we only inspect and test and report results to the homeowner. Remediation is done by an entirely different agency. This way there is no conflict of interest between inspector and remediator.

 

Certified Inspections

 

Aurora Home Inspections offers certified Radon inspections and testing conducted by a licensed and qualified inspector. We want to make Home Inspection clients aware of issues that can be dangerous to the health of those in their homes. If you are concerned about Radon and want your property inspected and tested, give us a call at (201)476-9200.

Ground Penetrating Radar Technology

 

Aurora Home Inspections offers Tank Sweep Inspections using GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) technology to locate buried tanks on residential or commercial properties in NJ. We are located in Bergen County and we perform these inspections in Bergen County as well as in surrounding counties in NJ and NY. We utilize GPR or Ground Penetrating Radar machinery and technology to locate buried tanks and other underground storage units. Tank Sweep Inspections using GPR technology are more accurate and go deeper than standard methods of finding buried tanks.

 

Why Is A Tank Sweep Necessary?

 

Most tank sweep inspections are conducted to find buried oil tanks. These oil tanks that housed the fuel oil that heated a house or building can become degraded with age. When conversion to gas heat is contemplated or if the house is going to be sold, the tank needs to be found and removed. If the tank is found to be leaking oil into the ground, it can mean a costly cleanup for the homeowner because it is considered to be an environmental hazard. Most home buyers will want a buried oil tank to be removed.  NJ Tank Sweep Inspections using GPR technology are recommended.

 

Certified and Qualified Property Inspection

 

Aurora Home Inspections offers certified tank sweep inspections performed by qualified technicians. We are always happy to discuss a tank sweep inspection as part of a home inspection or as a separate inspection service. We offer experience, an extensive list of qualifications and state-of-the-art machinery when performing our inspections. For a tank sweep or any other home inspection service in Bergen County NJ and surrounding locations, please call us at (201) 476-9200. We gladly serve the homeowners and property owners in these areas.

 

Buying Property Or A New Home?

Either set alone or as part of an overall inspection of your prospective purchase, a termite inspection is important. Termites and other wood-destroying insects can do expensive damage to a structure. An inspection can reveal whether there are termites present and the extent of the damage, if any. A termite inspection is generally inexpensive and can save you money in the long run.  We are qualified to perform Termite Inspection in NJ and NY.

Sometimes the presence of termites can become a negotiating point in the price of a property. Aurora Home Inspections offers our services to home buyers in New Jersey and New York States.

 

Termites Do Damage That Is Not Always Visible

 

Often the damage caused by Termites or other Wood-Destroying Insects is not visible as these creatures eat wood from the inside out, avoiding light and making it hard for prospective buyers to be aware of them. Termites are small but do big damage. They work continuously and can eat a lot of wood in a short time. A termite inspection can help avoid future infestation as well as discover a current one.
