South Jersey's Premier Inspection Services
Pre-Purchase Home Inspections
A pre-purchase home inspection is one of the most important steps you can take before buying a home. Our thorough evaluation covers the structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more, giving you a complete picture of the property’s condition before you close. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, having a trusted home inspector on your side means you can negotiate with confidence and avoid costly surprises down the road.
Pre-Listing Home Inspections
Selling your home? A pre-listing home inspection puts you in control before buyers ever walk through the door. By identifying potential issues early, you can make repairs on your own timeline, price your home accurately, and prevent deals from falling apart during the buyer’s inspection. Sellers who invest in a pre-listing inspection often experience smoother transactions and stronger offers.
Commercial Inspections
Our commercial inspections are designed to give business owners, investors, and property managers a detailed understanding of a building’s condition. From small retail spaces to multi-unit complexes, our commercial inspectors evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, roofing, and site conditions. A professional commercial inspection helps protect your investment and ensures you’re making a well-informed decision before signing on the dotted line.
Radon Inspections
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can accumulate to dangerous levels inside any home. It’s also the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Our radon inspections use accurate testing methods to determine whether your home has elevated radon levels. If a problem is found, we’ll help you understand your mitigation options so you and your family can breathe easier.
Termite Inspections
Wood-destroying insects like termites can cause significant structural damage that often goes undetected until it becomes a major expense. Our termite inspections identify active infestations, previous damage, and conditions that attract wood-destroying organisms. Catching termite activity early can save thousands in repairs.
Mold Inspections
Mold doesn’t always show itself, which is why a professional mold inspection includes both a thorough visual assessment and air quality sampling. Our inspectors look for moisture intrusion, visible growth, and environmental conditions that allow mold to thrive. We have air samples analyzed by a certified laboratory to identify mold type and concentration levels, giving you the documentation you need to address health and safety concerns head-on.
Home Maintenance Checks
Homeownership is an ongoing commitment, and regular maintenance is what keeps small issues from turning into expensive repairs. Our home maintenance check is a comprehensive walkthrough of your property’s key systems and components, identifying wear, aging materials, and items that need attention. It’s an ideal service for homeowners who want to stay ahead of problems and protect the long-term value of their home.
Home Buyer Consultations
Navigating the home buying process can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. Our home buyer consultation gives you direct access to an experienced home inspector who can walk you through what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to interpret inspection findings. Going into your purchase informed and prepared makes the entire process less stressful and more empowering.
Home Seller Consultations
Before you list your home, a home seller consultation can help you understand exactly where your property stands. We’ll walk through your home with you, highlight areas that buyers and their inspectors are likely to focus on, and provide practical guidance on what to address before going to market. A little preparation upfront can lead to a faster sale and fewer negotiation headaches.
One Year Warranty Inspections
Most new homes come with a builder’s warranty that expires after the first year, and that deadline is worth taking seriously. Our one year warranty inspection is timed to catch defects and construction issues before your coverage runs out. We thoroughly document everything so you can submit a complete warranty claim to your builder and ensure any problems are resolved at no cost to you.
Re-Inspections
After repairs have been made following an initial inspection, a re-inspection verifies that the agreed-upon work was completed correctly and to an acceptable standard. Rather than taking a seller’s word for it, a re-inspection gives buyers documented confirmation that issues have been properly addressed before closing. It’s a small step that provides significant peace of mind.
Piling Inspections
Foundation pilings and below-grade structural components are critical to the stability of your home, but they’re rarely visible during a standard inspection. Our piling inspections take a closer look at subsurface supports, identifying signs of deterioration, settlement, or improper installation. This specialized service is especially valuable for homes in coastal areas, flood zones, or regions with expansive or unstable soils.
Thermal Imaging Exterior Inspections
Infrared thermal imaging allows our inspectors to detect what the naked eye simply cannot see. By measuring surface temperature variations on your home’s exterior, we can identify moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, air leaks, and possible electrical issues before they escalate. Thermal imaging adds an extra layer of detail to your inspection and is a powerful tool for uncovering hidden deficiencies.
New Home Construction Inspections
New construction doesn’t mean perfect construction. Our new home construction inspections are conducted at critical phases of the building process like the foundation, framing, pre-drywall, and final walkthrough, to ensure your home is being built to code and to the standards you’re paying for. Catching errors during construction is far less costly than discovering them after you’ve moved in.
Legal Inspections / Construction Defects
When construction defects or property disputes require professional documentation, our legal inspection services provide the detailed, objective reporting that attorneys, mediators, and courts rely on. We assess structural failures, code violations, workmanship issues, and other deficiencies with the precision and thoroughness needed to support legal proceedings. Our reports are clear, factual, and built to hold up under scrutiny.
Drone Inspections
Some areas of a property are simply too steep, high, or hazardous to access safely on foot. Our drone inspections use aerial imaging technology to capture high-resolution photos and video of rooflines, chimneys, upper-story exteriors, and hard-to-reach areas. You get a complete visual record of your roof and exterior without the safety risks of traditional ladder access.
Specialty Inspections
Every property is unique, and sometimes a standard inspection isn’t enough to answer all of your questions. Our specialty inspections are customized to your specific needs, whether you’re concerned about a particular system, material, or area of the home. Tell us what matters most to you, and we’ll build an inspection approach that gives you the targeted information you’re looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions
At Funk Inspection Services, we’re not finished until you feel confident and well-informed. If you have questions before, during, or after your inspection, we’re here to help.
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a thorough, visual examination of a property’s structure and major systems, from the foundation up through the roof. It’s designed to give buyers, sellers, and homeowners an accurate, objective look at the condition of the home before any decisions are made.
How much does a home inspection cost?
We do not display pricing on our website because inspection fees vary based on factors like square footage, the age of the property, and the specific inspection services requested. Reach out to us directly for a quick, no-obligation quote.
How long will the home inspection take?
Most standard home inspections run between two and four hours. Larger homes, older properties, or properties with additional structures like detached garages or sheds may take a bit longer.
Should I be present during the home inspection?
We always welcome clients to attend their inspection services. It’s one of the best ways to get a real feel for the property and ask questions in real time. That said, if you can’t be there, your detailed report will give you a thorough picture of everything we found.
What happens if the report identifies issues?
No property is without its quirks, and finding issues during an inspection is completely normal. Our job is to document what we see, explain what it means, and help you understand your options. The inspection is not a pass/fail process; it’s a tool to help you make well-informed decisions.
