Buyer Beware! Inspect Before You Buy!
@ Olympian, our clients thank us for the thorough
pre-purchase inspection service we provide.  We
have uncovered what would have resulted in unwanted
and costly surprises for countless prospective homeowners:

  • Cracked foundations

  • Hidden building sections with little support

  • Termite damage totaling many thousands of dollars

  • Defective heating systems

  • Leaky roofs

  • Environmental hazards

  • Hazardous electrical aluminum and lead wiring

  • Inadequate water pressure

  • Drainage problems

  • Fire hazards

  • Major, hidden structural fire damage

  • 1000's of potential problems are searched for during our routine inspections

Hire an independent Company:

Hiring a company affiliated with a real estate
agency does not necessarily provide an
honest and thorough inspection.  Hiring
an independent company stacks the
odds in your favor.

Olympian is the #1 Independent Company!

Our inspections on a small structure
average about 2 hours and are the most
honest and thorough inspections available.

Our reports, ready within 24-48 hours, are
computer typed, not computerized, use
laymen's terms so you and
your lawyer will understand
everything.

Our inspections run from the foundation
to the roof and
include a free home warranty,
a mold sample (internet special),
a licensed termite inspection,
a visual inspection for
asbestos siding, pipe insulation
and boiler covering by a
Certified Asbestos Inspector /
Supervisor, and notice
about suspected
mold & lead based
paint hazards.

As another added bonus clients will
receive a coupon good for

10% off at LOWES good
for up to up to a $5,000
purchase, a $500
savings; it's like
getting the inspection for free.

Manhattan Home Inspections


There are all kinds of different properties within Manhattan. Some of the structures are new and some of them are old. However, it doesn't matter their age when it comes to needing a home inspection. Even the most beautiful and fit of homes needs to have an inspection when being purchased. There could be underlying plumbing, electrical, or heating and air issues that cannot be seen by the average person. Only a home inspector can see certain problems within a home. That is why many real estate contracts require that an inspector is hired to inspect the home before the purchase ever goes through.


More reasons for a home inspection


When we speak of Manhattan real estate, we associate it with high dollar properties. It is true that some of these properties are quite expensive. There are structures that once housed immigrants who were struggling financially. Now the same structures cost upward of $10,000,000 to buy, which is where many of the high-priced doctors, lawyers, and celebrities live. However, these properties are old and can have some underlying issues. Chances are, when these doctors, lawyers, and celebrities bought these properties, they had them inspected by home inspectors who are independent from the real estate agency.


The reason why you want to hire an independent home inspector in Manhattan is because their evaluation is unbiased. In some cases, not all, the inspector may alter the results to benefit the real estate agency. Although not all inspectors do such a thing, it is still safe to hire one outside of the real estate agency's own inspector. With such a high price tag, it is very important to make sure the investment is the best investment. Even on homes without such a price tag, the investment is still a very important and expensive one, so it is good to cover all angles.


That way issues such as:


• Electrical problems can be evaluated and brought to your attention. Electrical problems are very dangerous because they are fire hazards. The inspector will inform you of the problem, tell you it needs to be repaired, and may tell you how what avenue to take to repair it.

• Water damage can be assessed and addressed. Water damage can result in moist conditions that promote the growth of mold and mildew, which can be a health hazard.

• Plumbing leaks that can lead to water damage can be brought to your attention. Floors, walls and ceilings can be weakened by leaks and promote mold and mildew growth in places you cannot see. Leaks also result in higher water bills.

• Ventilation problems that impact the quality of your air can be pointed out. Air quality is important to stay healthy.

• Structural cracks that can compromise the stability of the structure can be addressed.

• Heating and air conditioning problems that can be dangerous or lead to costly repairs can be made aware of.


There are other issues that a home inspector can bring up such as problems with cracked sidewalks and other safety issues, as well as problems with the roof of the home. This allows the buyer to know their home inside and out, if they go through with the purchase. If they don’t go through with the purchase, then they can look for another Manhattan home with no or fewer problems.
