Buyer's Inspection in Larchmont

The full walk Larchmont buyers book: roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, and masonry, moisture, and century-old mechanicals. Chris explains findings in the house. The photo report typically follows within 24 hours.

  • Structural elements (foundation, floors, roof, etc.)
  • Exterior: siding, doors, decks, balconies, porches
  • Plumbing, electrical, HVAC
  • Attic, insulation, ventilation, fireplaces

This isn’t just a checklist. It’s the information that lets you buy with confidence.

Pre-Offer Walkthrough Inspection in Larchmont, NY

Manor listings can move before you get a second showing. This shorter visit happens before you write and targets deal-changers: structure, water, and systems near the end of their life.

Pre-Purchase Inspections in Larchmont, NY

Once the offer is accepted, this is the exam that answers the contingency. Chris documents accessible systems and can fold radon, mold, and water sampling into the same visit so a second vendor does not hold attorney review.

New Construction Inspections in Larchmont, NY

A certificate of occupancy is not a substitute for an inspection. On newer infill among older blocks, Chris checks flashing, grading, mechanical installation, and finish quality before you close or before a builder warranty expires.

  • Electrical, plumbing, HVAC
  • Roof, attic, insulation
  • Outlets, doors, fixtures
  • Final punch list review

We'll help you catch builder oversights while they’re still fixable.

Pre-Listing Inspections in Larchmont, NY:

Sellers in Larchmont use this to repair or disclose on their schedule. Chris inspects the way a buyer's inspector will, so surprises do not show up under a deadline.

Yearly Maintenance Inspections in Larchmont, NY:

Sound-shore moisture and freeze-thaw work on a Larchmont house every year. An annual visit catches small failures while they are still flashing and grading problems, not emergencies.

  • Spot roof leaks, insulation gaps, electrical wear
  • Extend the life of your systems
  • Save thousands with preventive repairs

This is great for homeowners who want peace of mind and long-term savings.

Add-On Testing We Bundle With the Visit

Ask when you book so the right kits go on the truck for this Larchmont visit.

Radon

Radon testing by an NRSB measurement technician. Ground-contact homes should still be tested. Westchester’s Zone 3 average is not your cellar.

Mold

Licensed NYS mold assessment with lab analysis and a written moisture-source note. Used on homes and light commercial, not only houses with a visible stain.

Well and water

Water testing for bacteria, metals, and loan panels. Most Larchmont is municipal. Water testing is still useful when a lender or a taste/odor complaint asks for it.

Termite / WDI

Wood-destroying insect inspection is a common lender request on older housing. Same-visit add-on. Confirm it when you schedule.

Gas line

Gas-line testing can be added when the house has gas or propane service. Ask at booking. There is no separate gas-line page.

Larchmont Home Inspection FAQs

Straight answers for Larchmont, NY buyers and sellers.

Schedule Your Inspection
?How much does a home inspection cost in Larchmont?
Chris Long inspects in person. He is licensed in NY and CT and an ASHI member (17598CG), not ASHI certified. The fee depends on the house. Size, age, whether anyone is living there, and extra tests like radon, mold, or water all change the time on site. The office is in Mohegan Lake. Travel is routine, and there is no trip fee. Call (914) 260-8571 with the listing address and we will quote that job. You can also book online.
?What does a Larchmont home inspection cover?
A lot of Larchmont work is older houses near the Sound. We spend time on moisture and masonry. Flood-zone notes go in the report so you can talk to your insurance agent with facts. We inspect the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, and exterior, and photograph what we find. Findings get explained in the house, then written into the report. Call (914) 260-8571 if the listing has extras like a barn or an addition so we leave enough time on the calendar.
?Should I add a radon test in Larchmont?
The EPA map for this county is an average, not your basement. We still recommend testing ground-contact homes in Larchmont and can place the test in the same visit. Most buyers add it when they book so it runs during the same visit. Mold sampling and well-water labs can go the same day if you want them. Say which tests you need when you book online.
?How soon is the Larchmont report ready?
Typically within 24 hours, often the same day. The report includes photos, and we follow up by phone so you are not left decoding it alone. Radon, water, or mold lab work comes when the lab finishes, which is later than the main report. If your attorney has a hard date, tell us when you schedule.
?Should I be at the Larchmont inspection?
Yes if you can. We walk you through the panel, the heating system, and any moisture where it actually shows up. If work keeps you from staying the whole visit, come for the last 30 minutes. Note who will be there when you book online.
?Will you note flood-zone proximity in Larchmont?
Yes. Moisture and water-management notes go in the report. A mold assessment can share the visit if you book it.

“Chris is very experienced, knowledgeable and very excellent at what he does. If something not right he will find it. He comes to the inspection like “He’s going to fight a war” I like that because he has his clients best interest. He’s meticulous, nothing passes him. He’s very trustworthy. I would not hesitate to refer him to family/ friends or coworkers.”
