Bringing a Wealth of Knowledge and Experience to Your Family Home.
Meet Rich Roessle
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments that people make in their lifetime. It is important that home buyers have someone knowledgeable and trustworthy to inspect their future home and provide them with an unbiased and practical assessment of what you, the home buyer, are purchasing. I started this company to take my experience and apply it directly to you and your family’s home purchase. My background includes working in a variety of different industrial, commercial, and residential construction fields. I have a background in Surveying, Civil Engineering, Project Management, Gas Pipeline Inspection, Welding, Carpentry, Plumbing, High Voltage electric to name a few. My experience comes from years of working in the utility field as a surveyor, field inspector, project manager, and draftsman. I work every day with carpenters, plumbers, laborers, welders, pipefitters, laborers, and electricians and most other trades while working on industrial and infrastructure projects. I have worked With Most Governing Agencies such as MTA, Con Ed, ECS, NYC DEP, DOT, State Department, Highways, Bridges and Tunnels just to name a few.
I remember when it was time for my wife and I to buy our first home and we were getting the home inspection. I was walking around with the inspector and finding things that he was overlooking and not including on the home inspection report. I know how frustrated that made me and I never wanted anyone else to experience that frustration. Then, as friends started to purchase homes, they would ask me to come over and give them my opinion. That is where my journey to become a home inspector started. We all deserve a home inspector who is thorough and detail oriented. I wish to provide you with that service. Being a home inspector is all about helping and guiding you to make the largest and most important purchase of your life. It is about safety and quality, and I take those things very seriously. I want to arm you with all the information about your future home so that you can make logical decisions for your family.

What Services We Offer
Residential Inspections
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. This is our typical home inspection that catches common defects so you understand the investment you’re making.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Some homeowners want to make repairs to their house before they put it on the market and will make repairs using their inspection report as a baseline reference. Please understand that most buyers will still want to perform their own inspection even if the seller has already had an inspection done.
Radon Testing
Radon is colorless, odorless, and extremely carcinogenic. According to the EPA, radon is one of the leading contributors to the development of lung cancer, behind only smoking. For this reason, regular radon testing is key whether you’re a homeowner, or you’re interested in purchasing a home.
Water Testing
We work with EPA-certified laboratories to examine and assess the water quality in your home. We can check for contaminants such as lead and heavy metals, bacteria, parasites, and other organisms and contaminants. If you have concerns about your water quality, give us a call right away.
Sewer Scope Inspection
Are your sinks and tubs emptying too slowly? We use a special camera to scope the sewer line to visualize any blockages that are interfering with the plumbing system’s proper drainage. Finding and addressing such problems now can head off catastrophic and expensive repairs later.
Septic Inspection
We will inspect the Septic Tank by digging out the inlet and outlet, measure the affluent, inspect the baffles visually, and give a general overview of the condition of the Septic and its components. *note septic risers are nominally 8" cover at time of inspection if it is deemed deeper additonal time and charge will be agreed at time of discovery.
Walk and Talk
A walk and talk is a non-invasive conversation about the conditions visually seen.
Pool Inspection
