The "trained by" person doesn't have the years of experience to know what to look for and see what's there. I provided tons of info, there was evidence of moisture, had many health symptoms of mold and still he found nothing, it was all a-ok (???) Next testing, did not fall for the "trained by" listings and hired an owner that found it all, because he spotted the things that were there all along. It would have been nice to know then instead of waiting.... Plus there is no savings in hiring a "trained by" because the charges are the same. Could use that wasted cash for the present cleanup.

Hi Folks, I am writing this review to apprise you of the…read more"Blessing" that Larry Smyj from Aurora Home Inspections was to me and my little family. I am a single mom and I am in the process of purchasing my very first home for my and my family. I asked several folks at Mass if they could recommend a highly "competent" and extremely honest home inspector that would guide me and direct me since I am totally clueless. Several of the men from Mass stated that Larry Smyj from Aurora Home Inspection was my "go to guy" for a highly detailed and professional inspection report. This is the 3rd time that I have utilized Larry Smyj and his professional services. Back in the Fall of 2017 I put a bid of $160K on a wonderful two story home in a historic town here in Jersey. The home was 185 years old. It is on the National Registrar of Historic Homes. No wonder why it was so low the home was falling apart at the beams. The home was originally constructed using the lumber from the local area. However, the lumber was never treated. The lumber, from basement to attic, was riddled with Powderpost Beetles. Powderpost Beetles are a group of seventy species of wood boring beetles classified in the insect subfamily Lyctinae. Wikipedia Scientific name: Lyctinae Higher classification: Bostrichidae Rank: Subfamily (Did you know: Powderpost beetles are small, brown insects usually less than 1/4-inch in length that attack seasoned hard-woods. psu.edu) The few dollars that it cost for a termite inspection could NOT possibly compare to the $160K PLUS that is would have cost me to purchase and then replace the beams in the basement, walls, and attic. Larry went to touch the beam and it crumbled and turned to sand right in his hands. Needless to the OUTSTANDING and DETAILED Inspection Report brought me freedom. I graciously backed out of the contract for said home. No questions asked! The second time I used Larry Smyj from Aurora Home Inspections was in January 2018. This home was much newer and built around 1959 / 1960. The sellers were asking $225K. This home is in the same town as the first town. It had been neglected by its owners who had filed for bankruptcy. This home was in dire need of extensive repairs. It had all the original windows and doors, a second layer of shingles, boiler - furnace, reeked of heavy smoke from both owners. The hot water heater and most of the appliances were all well past their useful life. The finished basement had been built without permits and inspections. The owners made a second and private apartment for the themselves and moved their adult son upstairs. The illegally put in an electrical box and wired the home without proper supervision. The threw a gas stove over in the corner with no ventilation, the covered the basement jacks utilizing fake columns.They called the columns "decor". Guess what? Termites were found all on the outside of the home. But they could not fool a trained inspector like the one and ONLY Larry Smyj of Aurora Home Inspection.Yep! I backed out of this home too. Yep! I received my $5K deposit back as well. I just worked with Larry Smyj again on Friday June 29, 2018 for a 3rd time. Three times a charm! Right? Right! This last (hopefully) inspection was oh so worth it! I found a good home! This home on the outskirts of the other homes. Since we love the area we wanted to stay close to our Catholic Church and school activities. Once again because of Larry's sharp eye and expertise he deemed the furnace shot and in dire need of a replacement since it was purchased in 1980, the electrical box is loaded with corrosion, the roof leaked into the attic, and a list of other items that require immediate attention. My attorney just submitted a Letter of Repair Request and a copy of Larry's 48 page detailed and professional Inspection Report to the sellers attorney today. Guess what?? No termites! This house is a keeper! Thank you Larry Smyj from Aurora Home inspection for you professionalism and expertise! Your patience is a Blessing too because you have to tolerate folks like me! God Bless!

They listened to my concerns about the toxic mold growth on my walls following a water leak, and came out the next morning to do air and surface sample testing. The next day they had lab results and emailed me detailed PDFs with the lab report and their recommendation protocol for mold remediation. Ryan also called me to talk through their findings. Powers Environmental LLC is third-party and independent, so hiring them prevented a conflict of interest with the mold remediation company. My situation was particularly complicated, because I wound up having problems with one remediation company and switched to another, and everything had to involve the property managers. There was a lot of disagreement between the property managers and me, and Powers Environmental LLC went above and beyond in helping explain the dangerous mold situation and remediation process to the property management company. It was a multi tiered process, and I felt so protected knowing that Powers environmental 100% had my health and safety as their sole priority. I watched Ryan work when he came for the clearance testing, and I appreciate his methodical and detail oriented approach. I wish everyone was as conscientious about testing and following biosecurity as this company is. Bill and Ryan always replied to my messages within an hour or less and were very patient with my many questions. I give this company my highest praise, respect, and recommendation.

He put my mind at rest and I appreciated that greatly. I would highly recommend the Powers Environmental team.

Phil was a great inspector from start to finish. The first time I called him he asked for a bunch…read moreof details about the house and immediately started walking us through what he will be taking a look at given the age of the house. He walked us through all of the services he provides and the cost and answered all of our questions in detail. Other inspectors gave very brief descriptions of services provided, so we felt more comfortable going with Phil. We had the general inspection, wood destroying insect, radon, sewer camera, and oil tank sweep all done through Phil. On the day of the inspection, we were half an hour early but Phil was already there looking at the exterior of the house. He explained his process and invited us to shadow him and ask questions about anything we didn't understand. He was very detailed in his inspection, and took the time to explain to us any issues that needed immediate attention. The inspection lasted almost 4 hours, which I guess is uncommon because both real estate agents thought it would only take 2 hours. We closed on the house last week and have used the report a number of times when hiring contractors. Phil pointed out some structural issues in the basement which we are now getting fixed, and are slowly working through the rest of the items in his report. His detailed report makes it easy for us to send to other contractors so they know the scope of the issue. We would highly recommend Phil for any first time homebuyer with lots of questions about their new house!
