Specialized Testing & Add-On Services

Radon Testing

Monmouth County has varying radon levels, and older foundations can be susceptible to trapped soil gases. Our radon 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 document visible roof conditions and signs of 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 moisture or suspected mold growth. 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century-old properties in town may show expected foundation settlement, remnants of older wiring like knob-and-tube, or outdated HVAC systems.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.

River-Area Homes and Older Additions in Fair Haven

Fair Haven homes may sit near the Navesink or Shrewsbury River and often include established landscaping, older construction, additions, and updated systems. The inspection should look at grading, roof drainage, foundation and lower-level moisture, siding, decks, windows, and the transitions where an addition meets the original home. If a property has a sump or drainage equipment, document its accessible condition and ask for maintenance records rather than assuming it will handle every storm.
