General Home Inspections in Brownsville, NY

What We Typically Find on General Home Inspections in Brownsville

General home inspections in Brownsville mostly cover 1- and 2-family attached brick houses interspersed with mid-century low-rise apartments. The recurring findings on the older stock: fuse panels and 60-amp services still in operation on pre-1950 homes, knob-and-tube remnants in plaster wall cavities, original cast-iron drain stacks at end-of-service life with rust-through at the basement transition, oil-to-gas conversions where the chimney was never properly relined, basement moisture along north walls where modern waterproofing wasn't standard, and roof recoats stacked deep on the flat-roof attached homes. Sewer-line tree-root infiltration in the century-old laterals from basement to curb is universal — we recommend a sewer scope on every Brownsville pre-purchase.
