Inspecting homes in Geneva

The homes around Third Street and the Geneva Historic District include Italianate, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival construction dating to the 1800s. Many are protected, beautifully kept and structurally sound. They also carry the systems questions every century home does: what's behind the plaster, how the original service was upgraded, whether the stone foundation has been repointed, and how a basement built before modern waterproofing handles a wet spring.

We take longer in these houses, and we tell clients that up front. A 130-year-old home with three additions is not a two-hour inspection.

Geneva also has newer construction on the west side where the concerns are entirely conventional — grading, attic insulation, HVAC age, and the condition of the original roof.

Radon testing is strongly advised throughout Geneva, as with all of Kane County.

Neighborhoods we work in: Geneva Historic District, Fisher Farms, Eagle Brook, Mill Creek, Williamsburg and Wheeler Park, and throughout the 60134 ZIP codes.

Why radon matters here

Kane County is EPA Radon Zone 1.

Northern Illinois has the geology to produce elevated indoor radon, and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency recommends that every home be tested below the third floor. Two houses on the same Geneva street can test completely differently, so a neighbor's result tells you nothing about the home you're buying.

We test with a continuous radon monitor over 48 hours rather than a charcoal kit — you get hourly readings, tamper detection and a result that stands up in a real estate transaction. The monitor is placed during your inspection and collected two days later, which fits inside a normal contingency window.

Hardik was our inspector and we have nothing but amazing things to say. He took his time explaining every detail of our home and answered all our questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional — I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Jessica Moreno
Buyer · Elgin, IL

Hardik did a wonderful job inspecting our first home. He took his time and explained everything in detail. Thanks to his inspection we were able to negotiate many needed repairs to the home and feel satisfied and confident with our purchase.

Priya Patel
First-time buyer · South Elgin, IL

We did a pre-listing inspection and fixed the four things he flagged. The buyers' inspector found nothing new and we closed at asking with no credits. Best money we spent on the sale.
