Why Choose USTA Home and Sewer Inspections
What makes USTA different from other home inspection companies?
At USTA, we deliver more than a standard home inspection. We provide expertise, depth of knowledge, and services that most companies simply can’t match.
Here are 10 reasons truly sets us apart:
1. We Train the Next Generation of Inspectors
As a field instructor for the New Jersey Academy of Home Inspector Education (NJAHI), we don’t just follow the industry standards — we teach them.
Our role in training new inspectors places us among the most trusted and experienced professionals in the region.
2. Licensed in Both New Jersey and New York
We are fully licensed and compliant under the home inspection laws and Standards of Practice for both states:
-
N.J.A.C. 13:40-15.16
-
NY Subpart 197-5
Very few home inspection companies hold dual-state licensing and operate with full regulatory compliance across state lines.
3. Certified by the Industry’s Leading Professional Associations
Our certifications exceed minimum requirements and demonstrate advanced industry knowledge. We maintain credentials through:
-
InterNACHI
-
NJ NACHI
-
NJDEP
-
UCC
This ensures our training, methods, and tools stay ahead of industry standards.
4. Sewer Scope Specialists
Many inspectors do not offer sewer scope inspections — and those who do often outsource the work.
We use in-house, professional-grade sewer inspection equipment, giving clients unmatched insight into one of the most expensive systems in a home.
5. Detailed, Easy-to-Understand Inspection Reports
Our reports are one of our biggest advantages. Every report includes:
-
Clear Condition / Implication format
-
High-resolution photos
-
Organized sections aligned with NJ and NY SOP
-
Highlights of key findings
-
Optional sewer scope video links
Clients consistently praise our reports for being thorough, informative, and easy to understand.
6. Hands-On Construction and Building Operations Background
Before home inspections, we spent more than a decade working in construction and building management — including oversight of an 88-unit residential building.
This real-world experience allows us to identify issues that classroom-only inspectors often miss.
7. Comprehensive Inspection Services — All In One Appointment
We save clients time and money by offering a wide range of services under one roof:
-
Home inspections
-
Sewer scopes
-
Radon testing
-
Termite inspections
-

-
Multi-unit inspections
-
Pre-offer evaluations
One inspector. One appointment. One detailed report.
8. Exclusive Pre-Offer Evaluation Service
In competitive markets, buyers need fast, reliable information.
Our Pre-Offer Evaluation gives clients a quick assessment of major visible concerns before submitting an offer — a service most inspection companies do not provide.
9. Experience Across Rural, Suburban, and Urban Properties
From countryside homes to suburban neighborhoods and city properties, our experience covers every type of house across:
-
Northern & Central New Jersey
-
Southern New York counties
This broad exposure gives us a deeper understanding of how local construction methods, materials, and conditions affect a home.
10. Thorough, Standards-Based Inspection Process
Every inspection follows a structured, methodical approach based on New Jersey and New York Standards of Practice.
This ensures consistency, reliability, and clear documentation of what was inspected — and what was not.
