What does a home inspection include?

We check the home's major systems and structure, including the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, attic, insulation and appliances. You get a clear, photo-rich report showing what we found and what it means.

Should I be there during the inspection?

Yes, if you can. Jeff walks you through the findings in plain language, so you leave knowing what matters and what doesn't.

What is a sewer scope, and do I need one?

A sewer scope sends a camera down the main sewer line to look for cracks, root intrusion, sagging or blockages. Sewer line repairs can be very costly, so it's a smart add-on, especially for older homes or homes with mature trees.

How long does an inspection take?

Most inspections take two to four hours, depending mostly on the home's square footage. Larger or older homes may take a bit longer.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Collierville, Germantown, East Memphis, Cordova, Bartlett, Arlington and the surrounding Memphis area. This includes Shleby, Fayette, and Tipton counties, as well as Northern Mississippi. We're a locally owned, veteran-owned business, so this is our home too.

Can I get my report in Spanish or French?

Yes. We offer inspection reports in English, Spanish or French, so every buyer can understand their home.

When will I get my report?

You get your report the same day as your inspection, with photos and clear explanations. It's easy to share with your agent, lender or contractor.

Do you test for mold and air quality?

Yes. We offer mold and air quality testing to check for elevated mold spores and indoor air concerns. It's a good idea if you notice musty odors, past water damage or have allergy concerns.

Can you schedule a termite (WDI) inspection?

Yes. We coordinate termite inspection scheduling, so you can handle it in one call alongside your home inspection.

Do you inspect new construction homes?

Yes. Even brand-new homes can have missed or incomplete work. We inspect before closing so issues get fixed by the builder, not by you.

What is an 11-month warranty inspection?

If your new home has a one-year builder warranty, we inspect it before the warranty ends. That gives you a documented list of items to submit to your builder while repairs are still covered.

What is a pre-listing inspection, and why would a seller want one?

A pre-listing inspection finds issues before your home goes on the market. Sellers can make repairs or price accordingly, which reduces surprises and keeps deals from falling apart.

Can a home "fail" an inspection?

No. An inspection isn't pass or fail. It's an honest picture of the home's condition so you can make an informed decision.

What happens if the inspection finds problems?

Every home has some findings, even new ones. We help you understand which items are safety concerns, which are major repairs and which are normal maintenance, so you and your agent can decide on next steps.

Should I ask for repairs or a credit?

That depends on the issue and your situation, and your agent is the best guide there. Our report gives you clear, documented findings to support either request.

Do you inspect older homes?

Absolutely. Many homes in East Memphis and Germantown have decades of history, and we know what to look for in older electrical, plumbing and foundations.

Can my real estate agent attend?

Yes, agents are always welcome. We work with agents to keep the process smooth and keep your closing on schedule.

How do I schedule an inspection?

You can book online any time or call us at (901) 567-7400. We're available Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 6 PM.

Andrey was great, took the time to walk me through the areas of the house that needed work since I was a first time home buyer and explained what happened and how I would go about fixing some things
