Home Inspector in Raleigh, Cary & Durham, NC

We are Certified in all types of home inspections. Whether your building new, buying a resale or just need things checked out.

No matter your situation, our comprehensive home inspection is an intensive visual examination of all accessible components and systems. Accessible roofs will be walked; all accessible areas of the crawlspace and attic will be entered. A report of approximately 30-50 pages with full color photos of all areas of concern will be prepared. Most reports will be available that same evening, always within 24 hours emailed directly to you.

Pre-Listing Inspections:

Are you getting your home ready for sale or maybe you’ve been in your home for a while and want to get everything checked out. We provide a thorough inspection to help you understand a home’s condition and what you may need to be concerned about in the future. If you are getting your existing home ready for sale a pre-listing inspection can help you avoid any last minute trouble.

Pre-drywall inspections:

If you’re having a new home built, we look to find all the things that get missed by the builder and the municipal inspectors that need to be corrected before the drywall is installed. You should schedule your pre-drywall inspection right before the insulation is installed.

Builder’s Warranty inspections:

A warranty inspection, performed just before your new home warranty expires, ensures the builder fixes any issues that came up in the first year and if you didn’t have your home inspected before closing, this inspection is critical.

A sewer scope reveals the hidden condition of the lateral drain underground.

Using a 150-foot, high-resolution video camera, we inspect the lateral line from your foundation all the way to where it connects to the municipal sewer, or to the entrance of your septic tank. Don’t get stuck with a $5,000 to $15,000 underground pipe repair bill after closing day. Problems can be found before you buy, not after.

Thermal imaging reveals what’s hidden behind your walls, ceilings and floors.

Using a high-resolution infrared camera, we scan your home for temperature differences invisible to the naked eye — signs of moisture intrusion, missing or damaged insulation, air leaks, and electrical components running hotter than they should.

It’s a fast, non-invasive way to catch problems before they become expensive repairs, whether that’s a slow roof leak, an under-insulated attic, or a breaker panel connection that’s overheating.

Radon can be in any home – old or new construction and with any foundation – slab, basement or crawlspace.

The U.S. Surgeon General recommends ALL homes be tested for radon gas

A Certified Radon Specialist should test your home for radon

Termites are everywhere in our state and a thorough inspection of a home you are considering purchasing is a must.

Did you know that while the termite inspection is frequently called a pest inspection it is NOT a pest inspection?

In addition to the termite inspection, we offer a service that others don’t – A more comprehensive pest inspection to uncover evidence of wildlife, snakes, bugs and other critters that don’t belong in your home. For slightly more than the cost of the standard termite inspection you will receive a comprehensive report informing you of all the wild things that might be in your home.

It can be extremely important to know if there is any mold present in your home

In the State of North Carolina home inspectors do not report on the presence of any suspected adverse environmental condition or hazardous substances such as mold. We feel that this is a very important service so we have gone above the State standards to become certified to offer this very important service to our clients.
We are unbiased inspectors and not interested in selling repair and remediation services. We are only interested in helping you determine if any mold is present in your home and if possible, helping uncover the underlying conditions that allowed it to occur.

Whether your home has a well or not – It is extremely important to know about the water supply

When purchasing a home with a well it is extremely important to have the water analyzed for contaminants. Homes with a municipal supply may have concerns with old metal supply systems, lead solder or corroded pipe fittings that can adversely affect your drinking water.

It wasn’t until 1986 that Congress prohibited the use of pipes, solder or flux that were not “lead free” defined as solder and flux with no more than 0.2% lead and pipes with no more than 8% and then it wasn’t until 2011 that the level of lead was lowered from 8% to a weighted average of 0.25%.

That means a lot of our homes have lead in the water supply

Homes with wells add to the concern due to environmental contaminants that can be in the water. Homes on or around former or current agricultural or industrial properties can be highly susceptible to chemical contamination.

We offer multiple water testing options including: FHA water testing, Radon in water testing, Bacterial water testing, PFAS water testing and a lot more. 

The laboratory we work with has several options.

If you don’t see what your looking for, we can probably get it for you.

Home Inspection FAQs


What does a home inspection include?

Our comprehensive home inspection is an intensive visual examination of all accessible components and systems, whether the home is brand new or just new to you. Accessible roofs are walked, and all accessible areas of the crawlspace and attic are entered. You receive a report of approximately 30 to 50 pages with full color photos of all areas of concern.

How long does a home inspection take?

Most home inspections take about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the home. We take as much time as is needed to do the job right.

When will I get my inspection report?

Most reports are available the same evening, and always within 24 hours. We email the report directly to you.

What other inspections and testing do you offer?

We offer termite and pest inspections, radon testing, mold testing and air sampling, water testing and well inspections, thermal imaging and sewer scopes. All of them can be added to your home inspection, and radon, mold, water testing and sewer scopes can also be scheduled on their own.

I’m having a home built. Which inspections do I need?

We recommend a pre-drywall inspection right before the insulation is installed, a full home inspection when the home is finished, and a builder’s warranty inspection just before your new home warranty expires, so the builder fixes any issues that came up in the first year.
