I am a NY licensed home inspector with over ten years of contractor and real estate experience. A home inspection provides a written report of the systems and components of a residential building, including, but not limited to the: heating system, cooling system, plumbing system, appliances, electrical system, structural components - foundation, roof masonry structure, exterior, and interior features. My background has provided me with a comprehensive insight into all aspects of the home inspection process. You will receive a detailed, understandable narrative report that includes color photos within 24 hours that you can use to make the critical decision about the state of the property. Please read my customer reviews at https://www.thumbtack.com/profile/services/319685502292222060/reviews. I am available to schedule a home inspection at your convenience.

I strive to be thorough and efficient in all my home inspections. I got into different aspects of the real estate world a few years ago and was shocked at the amount of misinformation floating around. Buying a home without knowing everything about it is a daunting experience. When I heard about the innovative and effective teaching methods at CATS of Albany I jumped at the opportunity. I am always learning and always looking for ways to better serve you. I look forward to helping you during this stressful time.

Adirondack Home Inspection Services, proudly serving the residents of New York state. I am a New York State licensed home inspector and a member of the International Association of Home Inspectors. I adhere to the New York State Home Inspector Code of Ethics, and Standards of Practice. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT from the pack of local inspectors is my unique and comprehensive experience. I spent over a decade renovating homes so my knowledge is deep and first hand. Checking off items on a checklist is important but I am able to put observations into context because I have done the work. My years as a licensed real estate agent taught me that the best inspectors offered honesty but also perspective. Communication is vitally important. My breadth of knowledge stands behind every inspection.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Homes should be checked for mold annually, especially if you live in an area with high humidity or frequent rainfall. Inspections are crucial following flooding, roof leaks, or plumbing issues. More frequent checks are necessary if your home has a history of mold problems or water damage. Regular inspections help detect mold early, preventing costly remediation and minimizing health risks, especially in moisture-prone areas such as basements and bathrooms.

If the anode rod is no longer protecting your tank, you’ll spot telltale signs when you turn on a faucet. A bad anode rod can cause discoloration in your water, a rotten egg smell, intermittent hot water, and air in the water lines. Since these are symptoms of sediment damage to your water heater, don’t wait for them to occur before checking on the anode rod. 

Depending on location, sellers are often legally required to disclose a home’s defects to buyers, even if the home is being sold as-is. Certain types of defects, such as asbestos, mold, previous water damage, structural issues, and other safety risks, may be required to be disclosed, so check local laws to see what needs to be disclosed and what doesn’t.

You can determine if your ductwork needs rerouting by looking for common signs of issues. Uneven heating or cooling in different areas of your home, unusual noises from the ducts, and a noticeable increase in energy bills may all indicate problems with your duct system. Additionally, if you've recently renovated or there are structural changes in your home, it's a good idea to assess whether your current ductwork layout is still efficient. 

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.
