What Our Clients Say About Their Inspections
Mirtha Martinez
I just had a home inspection with Chuck, and he was great. He was very thorough and explained everything clearly as he went through the house. He answered all my questions, pointed out things I wouldn't have noticed, and even offered to look up additional info afterward. He made the process easy to understand and much less stressful. I'd definitely recommend Chuck to anyone buying a home.
Bahar Ansari
Chuck was fantastic to work with. He was thorough, patient, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He is genuinely knowledgeable and reliable inspector. I highly recommend Chuck to anyone looking for a thoughtful, careful, and trustworthy home inspection.
Laura Apperson-Pink
Chuck is great to work with. He's inspected two houses my husband and I have offered on and his report saved us from investing in a home with serious water problems in the basement, and helped us feel reassured about the second home we offered on. He's also taught me a lot, and as a new homeowner, that's especially valuable! Thanks Chuck!
Casey Cracolici
Chuck is amazing! First time meeting him and it felt like you knew him forever! Replied quickly and was able to get me within short notice. Did a septic inspection for me and was very knowledgeable within the field. Would highly recommend him to anyone doing a home/septic inspection.
Cynthia Lopez-Arroyo
Chuck was amazing. Meeting him for the first time he demonstrated a great deal of knowledge with home inspections. He explained what he was looking at. What was problematic and of no concern. He took his time and was very thorough. He answered all the questions we had and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole inspection.
Alana Bosland
As first-time home buyers, we really appreciated how thorough Chuck was with our inspection. He explained everything in detail, answered all of our questions, and made the process easy to understand. He even got us scheduled the very next day after we called. Highly recommend Above Grade Home Inspections!

Who Owns the Sewer Line in New City
In Clarkstown, which includes New City, the town owns the sewer pipe to a house only from the street main to the edge of the right-of-way, the public strip along the road. The pipe from there to the house belongs to the homeowner, who pays to fix it. Any repair on that stretch is the buyer's after closing. Ask the seller about any backups or repairs on the line to the street.

Frequently Asked Questions

Seven of the eight high-risk flood areas in New York's Hackensack River study are in Clarkstown hamlets: one in West Nyack, two in New City, and four in Nanuet. Find out whether the street sits in one of those high-risk areas before you buy.
During Ida in 2021, the Hackensack River gauge at West Nyack hit 11.5 feet, tying its record from Irene in 2011. Basements across the region flooded. Ask the seller whether water came in during either storm.
Veolia supplies much of Rockland County's tap water, about 70% from wells and 30% from reservoirs. Its New City well (well 24) is rated highly vulnerable to every kind of contamination the state checks for, which is a risk rating, not a test result. Read Veolia's latest report for the Rockland system.
Lake DeForest, the reservoir in Clarkstown, supplies up to about 10 million gallons a day of Veolia's Rockland water. Veolia blends it with water from its wells, so ask the seller whether the house is on Veolia water.
