Home Inspections in Camden County, NJ
Thorough home inspections, radon testing and WDO inspections for buyers and sellers across Camden County, from a carpenter-owned South Jersey company.
Your Inspector for Camden County
Camden County sits right across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, and few places in South Jersey pack so many kinds of houses into one county: century-old rowhomes and twins, post-war suburbs, and newer developments and townhouse communities.
I'm Antwine Jones, born and raised in South New Jersey. I'm the owner of C&C Home Inspections and an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector, and C&C is carpenter-owned, with more than 20 years of construction experience behind every inspection. I walk the property, climb into the attic and crawlspaces, check the roof and exterior, and test every operational system.
Camden County Homes, Era by Era
Older Rowhomes and Twins
Closest to the river and the city, many homes are attached rowhomes and twins from the early 1900s. Shared walls, flat or low-slope rear roofs, older wiring and plumbing that has been updated in pieces, and damp basements are what I look at most closely.
Post-War Suburbs
Much of the county was built out after World War II with capes, ranches, split-levels and colonials. At this age the roof, furnace or boiler, water heater, windows and electrical panel may all be original or on their second round, and I note where each one stands.
Newer Homes and Townhouses
Newer developments and townhouse communities still deserve a full inspection. I check the grading and drainage around the house, attic ventilation and insulation, and the workmanship details that builders sometimes rush.
What I Watch For in South Jersey Homes
Water in Basements and Crawlspaces
Basements and crawlspaces are where moisture shows up first: efflorescence on block walls, staining, sump pumps that run often, and damp framing. With 20+ years in construction, I can tell you whether it looks like a gutter problem or something bigger.
Termites and Carpenter Ants
Wood-destroying insects are common in South Jersey, and sill plates and porch framing near the soil are where they do the most damage. A WDO inspection can be added to the same visit.
Radon
Radon levels vary from one house to the next, even on the same street, and the only way to know is to test. I use a calibrated continuous monitor for a minimum of 48 hours.
Heating Systems and Old Oil Tanks
Many older homes heat with boilers or furnaces that have been converted from oil. If there are signs of an old fill pipe or vent, I point them out so you can have a specialist check for a buried tank before closing.
Add radon testing or a WDO / termite inspection to your home inspection and everything is done in one visit.
