What Michael Finds in West Caldwell Homes
West Caldwell home inspections address radon as a primary concern — western Essex County’s geology consistently produces elevated radon levels, and Michael recommends testing for every West Caldwell purchase. Oil heating systems are common in older homes from the 1950s through early 1970s, with aboveground basement tanks that should be evaluated for age and condition. HVAC systems in homes from the 1970s and 1980s may be nearing or at end of service life. Electrical panel capacity may be limited in homes with original 100-amp service.
No matter what Michael finds, his job is to give you a complete, honest picture of your West Caldwell property — so you can negotiate from knowledge, not guesswork. Schedule your inspection today.
