Home Inspection Services

 

Home inspection - single-family home is $375 

 

Our standard home inspection for a typical single-family home usually takes between 3 to 4 hours. Our home inspections are extremely thorough and we use the Spectora reporting system. This reporting system is extremely modern, easy to use, and easy to understand. This report is digital providing you with HD photos and videos. While the report is digital and web-based it can easily be downloaded as a PDF and printed. You can choose between a summary or a full report. We are here to answer your questions and be a member of your team. We will never cut corners and we bring nothing but 100% honesty. 

 

Not only are our prices in line and extremely competitive with the local industry but completely easy to understand. The majority of home inspectors will ask you to call for a quote or give you a base price and then charge fees for age, square footage, and travel. We are based out of Baldwinsville NY, a suburb of Syracuse NY, and inspect homes within an hour's drive at no additional cost. Homes outside an hour from our location may receive an additional charge. I will inspect your home as if it were my home. We are looking to gain clients' and agents' trust with honesty in our reports and prices. Our services are some of the best value you can receive in Central New York.

​

Victory Inspections Is now proud to announce as of 2021 we are a verified NYS radon testing laboratory. Our Lab ID number is 12147. This means we now have the capability of doing radon testing with our own equipment thus saving time in gathering results. Gone are the days of having to mail our radon samples to an out-of-state facility and wait on results. This now saves days of waiting for results to come in and you will receive them right when we pick up our equipment after a 48 minimum test!

 

Few inspectors in our area have this capability. It's something we are very proud of as we went through an extremely thorough process, working alongside the New York States Department of Health (ELAP) as well as passing a radon data testing and collecting course.

​

Competitors charge up to $150 dollars for their radon test along with a home inspection. Why pay more for a potentially slower service? I believe in providing you with the best value possible and I'm trying to reflect that in our prices!

​

If you would like a stand-alone radon test with no inspection our price is $150 

 

According to the EPA, radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. You can’t see or smell radon. Some areas of Central New York have higher levels of radon than others. Testing is the only way to know your level of exposure. Radon can have a big impact on indoor air quality. At the time of your inspection, I will set up your canisters in the proper location of the home. Once the proper time of testing is completed, I will then ship out your Radon test immediately to the lab for evaluation. Once the lab results are concluded, I will let you know. I understand the importance of receiving your test quickly and with us, you will have them always in a timely fashion. Below is a link to the EPA website to learn more about radon.

Well Water Flow Test - $100

 

A well flow test is a test to determine if the well has enough water to supply an average family of four. In accordance with FHA standards, we operate the well for one hour at the rate of 3 gallons per minute. Therefore, the well has a minimum quantity of 180 gallons. We generally like to run this test at a bathtub in the home. A well flow test does not say whether the well is a good well or not. The only test that does that is a "recovery test" and that should be completed by a well contractor. 

 

Wood destroying organism inspections - FREE with home inspection

 

I can't understand why other home inspection businesses charge up to $125 for a separate one-page report in regards to wood destroying organisms. This is something that is always part of our basic home inspection reports and to be perfectly honest as home inspectors this is something we look for anyway. If in an area of the home, I find any signs of wood damage or pest intrusion, I will report it in the corresponding section of the report. If you still wish to have a separate section in our report dedicated to WDO I will provide it to you upon request for only $25. 

 

Commercial property inspection - call us today

 

We are now offering commercial property inspections. Please call us to set up a time and a quote.

 

Disclosure - 

All of our inspections follow NYS SOP and are non-intrusive. We ask that all areas of the home have access including attic spaces, basements, and crawl spaces. We will not be able to remove blockages (including furniture) or create access to areas. Please have all pets removed or confined. We also ask that there is a clear and dry path to the main electrical panel for our inspections. NYS does not require us to walk on roofs as part of our SOP. Please be aware that all out-houses, side buildings, pools, and sheds are excluded from our inspections. If you would like any of these added to our inspection report there is a $50 charge and they will only be checked for safety and condition. Our drone will only be used if the home inspector feels conditions for flying are safe, legal, and necessary to do so. Weather conditions and guidelines by the FAA limit our flights. Before the inspection, we have to receive FAA LAANC clearance to fly in certain locations. In order to receive clearance, we need days' advance notice. Again we follow the drone manufacturer's weather restrictions as well as the home inspector's opinion on flight conditions. The drone is not waterproof and can not fly safely in wet weather. The wind is also a large factor. Not all clients will be given a drone inspection/photos/videos.
