Radon Test Service:

What is Radon Gas?
Radon is one of 92 naturally-occurring chemical elements. Radon gas is constantly produced by  the radioactive decay of Uranium.  Radon is found in geological formations throughout the United States and Canada. Uranium decays to radium, which than decays to radon gas.

Surgeon General Health Advisory
Indoor radon gas is a national health issue.  Radon gas in air may cause thousands of deaths each year.  Millions of homes have had elevated radon levels. Homes should be tested for radon and if elevated levels are confirmed, the problem should be corrected.

Why call Ameri-Search for this?
All of our inspectors are certified as "radon measurement technicians" in the State of NJ.  Yearly re-certification of all technicians is required by the NJDEP Radon Section.   

FEES:
$150 for one canister test or $100 if test is added to a basic home inspection.

Some examples of serious hazards found upon actual home inspections. 

A hot water heater with defective flue pipe. This is a severe health hazard due to the presence of carbon monoxide.

This picture was taken in a crawl space of a home. There is a leaking PVC drain pipe that is located right above the furnace.

Brick chimney on roof has been severely damaged by tree branches. This defect was partially hidden by the tree branches. Major chimney repair can be expected.

Electrical system defect. A dangerous safety hazard is found behind the dead front cover of the service panel. Every electric panel cover will be removed during our standard inspection.


Termite Inspection Service:
 
Termites,
carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and some species of beetles are the common wood destroying insect pests that can cause structural damage to houses if left uncontrolled. A NJPA "Credentialed Inspector" will visually inspect all accessible areas of the building for any evidence of  wood-destroying insects.

Evidence may include wood damage or even just signs of past treatment. All accessible areas will be entered including basements, crawl spaces, and attics. Our standard "termite report" report is accepted by all mortgage companies including the FHA.

All findings will be explained to you during the inspection. If for any reason non-accessible areas are located, these areas will be noted on a graph and additional recommendations will be given.  A "Wood Destroying Insect Report" will be issued at the time of the inspection.

FEES:
$75 for WID Report Only or $50 if report is added to a basic home inspection.
