Cesspools, septic, and well water
Much of Suffolk sits outside public sewer, and some East End properties are on private wells. We flag surface evidence of a failing system and tell you when a specialist evaluation belongs in your contract timeline.

What we look for in Suffolk County homes
Wood-destroying insects and moisture
Wooded lots and crawlspaces make termite and carpenter ant activity common. As a Licensed Pesticide Technician, Robert inspects for wood-destroying insects, active moisture, and the conditions that invite them back.
Coastal exposure and older beach construction
Near the shoreline we check for salt-air corrosion on mechanicals, storm-damaged roofing and siding, elevated-foundation framing, and additions built without permits.
