From Long Beach Island (LBI) to Wildwood, draws countless residents and visitors to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea. Owning property in these picturesque locations, such as Ocean City, Brigantine, Margate, or Sea Isle City, offers unparalleled lifestyle benefits. However, coastal living also presents unique challenges that require specialized expertise. At New View Home Inspections, we understand the specific needs of homeowners along the Jersey Shore and provide top-tier inspection services tailored for coastal properties.
The Coastal Property Advantage – And Its Challenges
Living by the coast comes with perks: ocean breezes, breathtaking views, and access to some of the most sought-after real estate in New Jersey. However, the proximity to saltwater and exposure to the elements create unique wear and tear on homes that inland properties might never face. Salt air can accelerate corrosion on metal fixtures, siding, and HVAC systems, while wind-driven sand can wear down paint and roofing materials. Additionally, the risk of flooding and storm damage requires vigilance to ensure your property remains safe and sound.
Specialized Inspections for Coastal Properties
At New View Home Inspections, we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Our inspections are specifically designed to address the nuances of coastal living:
- Foundation and Structural Integrity
Coastal homes often face challenges such as shifting sands and moisture intrusion. We meticulously inspect for signs of foundation settlement, cracks, and water infiltration that could compromise the structural integrity of your home. - Moisture
High humidity and salt air create the perfect environment for moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and mildew. Our inspectors use advanced tools like moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden moisture issues before they become major problems. - Roofing and Exterior Reviews
From wind-driven rain to salt exposure, coastal roofs and exteriors endure a lot. We thoroughly examine shingles, flashing, siding, and gutters to ensure they’re holding up against the elements. - HVAC and Electrical Systems
Salt air can corrode HVAC units and electrical wiring. We carefully evaluate these systems to ensure they’re functioning efficiently and safely. - Flood and Storm Preparedness
We assess flood-prone areas and evaluate how well the property is equipped to handle storm surges and heavy rains, including sump pumps, drainage systems, and flood barriers.
