Cambridge Home Inspection — Certified & Bilingual

Cambridge is one of the most competitive real estate markets in Massachusetts — and one of the most complex to inspect. The majority of its housing stock dates to the 1880s–1930s, with triple-deckers and brownstones that have been converted to condos, subdivided, and modified over generations. A skilled inspector in Cambridge needs to understand not just what systems are present, but how they've evolved over 100+ years of modification.

Condo inspections are our most common service type in Cambridge. Buildings near Harvard Square, Inman Square, and Kendall Square are overwhelmingly condo-converted older properties with shared plumbing stacks, split electrical panels, and common heating systems that may or may not be well-documented in the condo association's records. We inspect your unit thoroughly and flag everything we observe about shared infrastructure — information that can be critical when assessing reserve funds and future costs.

Cast iron drain lines are nearly universal in Cambridge's older buildings, and most are showing their age — scale buildup, partial blockages, and occasional root intrusion at foundation connections. Older electrical systems that predate modern load requirements are also routine findings.
