West Islip Home Inspection Services

Looking for an inspector with hands-on construction background for a home inspection in West Islip?  You have come to the right place.

Meticulous Home Inspection has performed many home inspections in West Islip, and along the entire South Shore of Long Island and the surrounding areas.

We have been inspecting homes and commercial buildings since 2005.

See a blog post from a recent home inspection in West Islip.

During a West Islip home inspection everything from roofing/siding, to doors/windows, and grading and drainage are checked. We examine attached decks, walkways/patios, garages, entire plumbing and electrical systems. The service panel is always opened to see wiring inside the panel to determine if any issues exist.

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. We check for leaks at valves and pipe connections, and check for proper operation of all plumbing fixtures.

Inspection of steps and railings are also part of the inspection to determine if any trip hazards exist, as well as headroom in stairwells. Old homes sometimes have railings that are too low, or have too much space between spindles.

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.
