Find a home inspector you can trust with Home Inspection Pro

Purchasing a new home also means buying that home's problems. With a pre-purchase home inspection you can see exactly what you're buying. Problems discovered during the inspection could allow you to renegotiate to offset the costs of repairs — potentially saving you thousands of dollars. We'll even help you become familiar with the property.

Sometimes selling your home can be just as much of a roller coaster as buying one. Getting a pre-listing home inspection can help ensure a quick and smooth transaction. You can enter the selling process with confidence that there won't be any nasty surprises. You'll also avoid delays, which could last for weeks or even months.

Don't release your builder from their warranty until you've had your home thoroughly examined by an experienced inspector. An end of home warranty inspection is a great opportunity to fix problems from faulty workmanship or materials — problems the builder should be accountable for. Many items we find are difficult to notice and could become a major safety or financial concern over time, leaving you to deal with the mess.

It's easy to overlook the septic system when buying a new home, largely since it's buried underground. But this also makes it difficult to tell when there is a problem, and failing septic systems are notoriously expensive to repair. A septic inspection includes evaluating the site for proper grading and drainage, accessing and opening the septic tank, and evaluating the level, flow, and leaks into or out of the mainline, tank, distribution box, and drain field. I am certified by the North Carolina Onsite Wastewater Contractors & Inspectors Certification Board. My grade level and certification number is: INSPETOR 9046I.

A sewer scope inspection is a video inspection of the sewer line leading from the house to the sewer system or septic tank. We'll check for obstructions, damage, or other issues such as root penetration, holes or cracks, pipe separation, and more. Some issues may not be affecting performance yet but could cause failure later as the problem worsens over time. I am InterNACHI certified to perform Sewer Scope Inspections.

Some mold growth can be toxic, and mold spores can cause symptoms of mold exposure in some people. A mold inspection will tell you if your home has a mold problem, and identify the moisture source that is causing it. If you are selling your home, then it's important to have your home pre-inspected for mold to avoid delays for remediation, which could take a month or longer. I am certified by InterNACHI and by the International Association of Certified Indoor Air Quality Consultants (IAC2) as an Indoor Air Quality Consultant. I am also mold certified and can perform mold inspections and mold sampling and testing. Certification ID: IAC2-93724.

Most of us are familiar with the dangers of outdoor air pollution. But what about the air quality inside our homes? High humidity, pet dander and other allergens, mold, and various chemicals trapped in our homes can expose us to far worse air conditions than those found outside. We can test the quality of the air in your house and make recommendations for a healthier, more comfortable home.

Water quality testing is important to verify that the water in your home is not tainted by any dangerous or offensive contaminants such as certain strains of bacteria, lead, nitrates/nitrites, other heavy metals such as arsenic, and more. Water quality tests should be performed regardless of whether the water comes from a public source or a private well.
