Did you know radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking? Radon is an invisible, odorless, and tasteless gas—and the only way to know if it’s in your home is through testing. Elevated radon levels can significantly increase your risk of lung cancer, which is why radon testing is a national standard for home safety. The EPA recommends that all homes below the second floor be tested to ensure healthy indoor air quality.

Catskill Mountain Home Inspections provides comprehensive well water testing for fecal coliform, E. coli bacteria, lead, nitrates, and nitrites. Using certified collection methods and specialized sampling containers, we take water samples from the nearest point of entry—typically a kitchen or bathroom faucet—following strict protocols tailored to each test. For accurate results and peace of mind, contact us today to schedule your water quality test.

WOOD DESTROYING INSECT ANALYSIS

Catskill Mountain Home Inspections will conduct a thorough analysis of the structure looking for evidence of wood destroying insect activity. This may be live insects, of course, but also includes dead insects, boring activity, exit holes, frass (powdery excreta of insects), sawdust, or shelter tubes. Visible damage due to wood destroying insects will be documented.

Septic dye testing is a non-invasive way to assess the condition of a home’s waste system. By introducing a fluorescent dye into the system, Catskill Mountain Home Inspections can trace its flow to uncover leaks, system failures, or capacity issues. This test helps identify whether the septic system can safely manage the current volume of waste—and whether repairs, upgrades or further evaluation may be needed.
