Specialized Testing & Add-On Services

Radon Testing

Monmouth County has varying radon levels, and older foundations can be susceptible to trapped soil gases. Our NRPP-certified testing uses continuous digital monitors that record readings over 48 hours, providing EPA-compliant results with clear guidance.

Drone Roof Inspections

Fair Haven features many tall, historic colonials and homes with steep roofs or delicate materials. Our FAA-certified drone operators capture detailed aerial imagery and detect hidden defects or storm damage safely, without foot traffic on your roof.

Wood-Destroying Insect & Environmental Checks

Proximity to the river means higher moisture levels, which can attract pests. We check for evidence of termites, carpenter ants, and powderpost beetles, along with visible signs of mold or asbestos. Detecting these early helps prevent costly future repairs.

Local Expertise That Matters

Fair Haven’s mix of riverfront properties, historic neighborhoods, and modern renovations presents unique inspection challenges. Homes situated near the Navesink River face high humidity, river winds, and potential moisture risks. Meanwhile, century-old properties in town may show expected foundation settlement, remnants of older wiring like knob-and-tube, or outdated HVAC systems.

Our inspectors know what’s normal for Fair Haven homes and what’s not. You’ll get a calm, honest perspective no exaggeration, no confusion, just clear answers about your property’s true condition.
