Lead-Safe Inspections:
Serenity Home Inspections now offers lead safe inspections. If you have a home prior to 1978, there is a possibility of lead based paint in your home. We can take lead dust samples throughout your home to gauge your risk and provide options for remediation if needed.
Radon Testing:
Radon concentrations are measured by using charcoal absorption methods. Samples are collected after 48 hours of placement. Samples are sent to a certified lab for analysis, results are sent within 72 hours. Our inspectors are NJDEP certified professionals.
Wood Destroying Insect Inspections:
In the United States, wood destroying insects are a widespread problem. The problem is compounded by the fact that these insects are often not found until they have caused costly damage to a home. For this reason, most mortgage companies require a termite certification prior to mortgage approval. The certification indicates that the house is free of wood destroying insects. Here at Serenity Home Inspections, we provide efficient and reliable testing. Once your home is found to be free of wood destroying insects, we will issue a termite certification.
