Services
Other Services
Report
In addition to the standard home inspection, Howell on Homes Inspection LLC offers other services to assist clients in making decisions about a home. These services typically involve collecting samples on-site and then sending these samples to an independent testing lab with expertise in analyzing the respective samples.
Radon
Report
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the first leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Much of New York State, particularly the areas we service, have been rated red "Zone 1", which indicates the highest potential of a radon screening level greater than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter).
Radon Mitigation
Report
If you've had a radon test performed on your home and received a result above the EPA recommended limit of 4 pCi/L, you may want to consider having a radon mitigation system installed in your home. This typically involves creating sub-slab negative pressure by drilling a hole through the floor of your basement and installing a fan to draw the radon out of your house.
Septic
Report
Many home inspectors offer septic system testing utilizing a dye test methodology. Although Howell on Homes Inspection LLC can perform a septic system dye test, the encouraged method is to instead have a septic system expert conduct an inspection as part of a tank cleaning prior to closing on a home.
Well Water Testing
Report
Many rural homes are not on a public water system, but are instead on a private well, or on rare occasion, on a shared well system. For your health, it is important to ensure the water is free from harmful contaminants. Public water systems are routinely tested and treated by the respective municipality, and those test results are publicly available upon request.
