South Huntington Home Inspection

Home Inspection South Huntington 11746

During a South Huntington home inspection everything from roofing/siding, to doors/windows, and grading and drainage are checked, as well as walkways and driveways. We examine attached decks, garages, plumbing, and the electrical system, as well as staircases and railings inside and outside the home. We determine if any trip hazards exist, as well as low headroom in stairwells that could cause injury. Older homes sometimes have railings that are too low, or have too much space between spindles, and generally recommend updating if too antiquated.


The service panel is always opened to see wiring inside the panel to determine if any issues exist such as vintage ungrounded wiring. We explain and demonstrate GFI receptacles to you so you know how to test them, and if the home does not have these safety devices, it is logged into your report. GFI receptacles (with the reset buttons) should exist in all 'wet' areas such as outdoor areas, kitchen counters/islands, bathrooms, laundry areas, and even in garages


Older homes from the 1960's and previous are know to have galvanized steel drain piping which rusts internally causing slow drainage, and we generally recommend updating of this original drain piping. Some houses also have a galvanized water main pipe which has the same problem - internal rust which can affect water pressure. 


Houses from the 1920's-30's can also have a lead water main which we always recommend updating, but this can be a costly update. We check for leaks at valves and pipe connections, and check for proper operation of all plumbing fixtures like tubs and showers.


Near the end of the inspection we operate the heating and cooling systems to determine their functionality, and log in any defects or deficiencies found.

South Huntington is the birthplace of Walt Whitman, and the Walt Whitman Shops Mall is nearby. It is also home to St. Anthony's High School, Walt Whitman High School and the South Huntington Public Library. The Walt Whitman Shops were previously known as the Walt Whitman Shopping Center. The department store chain Abraham & Straus purchased 45 acres in South Huntington in 1956 to build a shopping mall and parking lot. An A & S store would be built as the centerpiece of the mall.  The groundbreaking ceremony for the shopping center took place on April 20, 1961.


The first store to open, on March 28, 1962, was Abraham & Straus, followed by Macy's on September 18, 1962. The official opening for the entire shopping center was in November 1962. It was the first enclosed shopping center on Long Island. The mall had 75 stores, lighted fountains, and a reflecting pool. The parking lot had spaces for 5,000 cars.
