Home Inspection Services in DFW & Austin
Infrared Thermography - uses an infrared camera to detect moisture intrusion, electrical issues, plumbing leaks, and defective areas of the home that may be causing energy loss.

Pre-Listing Inspection
Scheduling an inspection service before listing your home can significantly benefit the negotiation process and make the transaction less stressful. We will examine the readily accessible areas of your home and identify any defects or maintenance needs. This will allow you to make any necessary repairs and improvements before listing. Even if you choose not to work on the home before listing, you can still be transparent with prospective buyers about the findings of our inspection. This will help you avoid any undesirable consequences during negotiations with buyers.
New Construction Inspection
Buying a brand-new home is an exciting time, but it’s still necessary to take precautions that will ensure the home is in good condition before moving in. You should schedule this inspection prior to the builder’s final walkthrough so that we can comprehensively evaluate the home before the transaction is final. If we happen to turn up any issues related to safety or defective materials, there will still be a window of time to seek out solutions.
Additional Inspection Services
Mold Inspection - Mold inside a home can cause a host of health issues, and often, that mold isn’t even visible—making it tough to draw the connection between the two. For this inspection service, we’ll assess a home for the existence of mold and the moisture that allows it to thrive. We’ll then guide you on what can be done to eradicate the mold from the property and to prevent future issues.
New Construction Phase Inspection - Includes an investigative inspection of new construction after the home has been framed and once more at final closing. Having the new home inspected at these intervals creates an opportunity to catch mistakes and to diagnose defects before construction is completed—making it significantly easier for the builders to fix problems and for you to have peace of mind with your investment.
Re-Inspection - When our initial home inspection returns an inspection report that flags certain items as defective, you may want to consider scheduling this follow-up inspection service before final negotiations to buy the home. If the seller agrees to seek out corrections for the issues we discovered, we’ll return to the property afterward to make sure that repair work is successful and that replaced components are installed properly.
