Home Inspection Services in Nyack, NY

Buyer's Inspection

The full walk Nyack buyers book: roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, and Victorian systems, condo unit mechanicals, or river-lot moisture. Chris explains findings in the house. The photo report typically follows within 24 hours.

Pre-Offer Walkthrough

Village listings can tighten around a commuter calendar. This shorter visit happens before you write and targets deal-changers: structure, water, and systems near the end of their life.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

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 Inspection

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

Pre-Listing Inspection

Sellers in Nyack 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 Inspection

Hudson humidity and older village housing work on a Nyack house every year. An annual visit catches small failures while they are still flashing and grading problems, not emergencies.

Add-On Testing We Bundle With the Visit

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

Radon

Radon testing by an NRSB measurement technician. Rockland is not Zone 1. We still test. Averages and zone maps are not a basement reading.

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. The village is generally municipal. Water testing remains a same-visit add-on.

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.

Nyack Home Inspection FAQs

Straight answers for Nyack, NY buyers and sellers.

Schedule Your Inspection

?How much does a home inspection cost in Nyack?

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 Nyack home inspection cover?

Victorians, condos, and village lots on the west bank of the Hudson. Scope matches house versus condo. 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 Nyack?

The EPA map for this county is an average, not your basement. We still recommend testing ground-contact homes in Nyack 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 Nyack 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 Nyack 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.

?Is Rockland County radon Zone 1?

No. We still recommend testing ground-contact homes in Nyack because a zone map is not a basement reading. A mold assessment can share the visit if you book 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.
