What Michael Finds in Westwood Homes
Westwood home inspections reveal the standard Pascack Valley post-war system concerns: oil heating systems with aboveground tanks in the older housing stock, galvanized supply lines with flow restriction in pre-1970 homes, aging electrical panels from the 1950s and 1960s, and radon — which is recommended for testing in all Westwood purchases which NJDEP places in Tier 3, its lowest radon potential category, with about 3 percent of tested homes at or above the EPA action level (NJDEP 2015 Radon Tier Assignment Report).
No matter what Michael finds, his job is to give you a complete, honest picture of your Westwood property — so you can negotiate from knowledge, not guesswork. Schedule your inspection today.
