Our Services

Knox Home Inspections performs residential home inspections, radon testing and tank sweeps throughout North Jersey including Bergen County, Passaic County, Essex County & Morris County.

Wood Destroying Insects

Termites, carpenter ants, and other wood destroying insects can slowly and stealthily eat away and damage the wood components of a home. Termites eat wood from the inside out, making them difficult to detect until the infestation is advanced. Home owners are often unaware of an infestation until it develops to this advanced stage. In New Jersey, termites are a very common intruder.

On every full home inspection, for no additional charge, Alex Knox (NJ Commercial Pesticide Applicator #62720B) performs a visual inspection of the property for damage due to wood destroying insects and signs of current insect activity. Areas of suspected damage are probed and documented. Findings and recommendations are included in the home inspection report, and an NPMA-33 form (termite letter) can be provided upon request for no additional charge.

Infrared Thermal Imaging

Infrared Thermal Imaging

On all our inspections, at no additional cost, we use an infrared thermal imaging camera to detect temperature differentials on surfaces. Infrared thermal imaging allows us to detect potential moisture intrusion, missing insulation in otherwise inaccessible areas, electrical faults, and overloaded circuits.

Although many home inspectors charge an additional fee to use thermal imaging, we provide this service as part of our standard fee. We believe the use of infrared is just as important and the use of a flashlight, allowing us to see the home more clearly, and therefore use the thermal imaging camera on every inspection.

Radon Testing

Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that is present in nearly all soils. Low levels of radon gas are in the air we breathe both indoors and outdoors every day. Radon can seep into your home and accumulate in high levels, and long-term exposure can cause lung cancer.

To test radon levels in a home, we leave a radon testing canister and retrieve it 2-6 days later. It is then sent to a laboratory for analysis, and the results and explanation of results are then promptly sent to you.

Radon testing is recommended for every home purchase except high-rise condos. For more info on radon: https://www.epa.gov/radon

Oil Tank Sweep

Oil Tank Sweep

Many homes in North Jersey were or currently are using oil for their heating systems. Many of these homes had or still have steel underground oil tanks. Unfortunately, steel slowly degrades when buried underground and eventually leaks. If an underground oil tank is discovered on the property, it may have caused oil contamination of the soil which can be very costly to remediate and becomes your responsibility as soon as you purchase the home.

We visually inspect the inside and outside of the home for any evidence of an abandoned underground oil tank. We then sweep the property 30’ from any foundations on the lot with a magnetometer to detect any underground iron or steel objects. You will be provided a written report with our findings.

Oil tank sweeps are recommended on every home built before 1990, or where a building foundation on a property may have existed before 1990.
