What areas do you serve?

What types of inspections do you offer?

Why should I get a home inspection?

A professional home inspection helps identify existing or potential issues with a property, allowing buyers, sellers, and owners to make informed decisions and avoid unexpected repairs.

How long does a home inspection take?

Most inspections take between 2–4 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property.

Will I receive a report after the inspection?

Yes. You’ll receive a detailed digital inspection report with photos, findings, and recommendations—typically delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.

Do you inspect log cabins and mountain homes differently?

Yes. Log cabins and mountain homes have unique construction and environmental challenges. We focus on moisture intrusion, wood deterioration, foundations, roofing, and systems affected by mountain weather.

What is radon and should I test for it?

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can pose serious health risks. Radon testing is the only way to determine levels in a home and is strongly recommended for properties in East Tennessee.

Do you use advanced tools during inspections?

Yes. We use thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, drones (when applicable), and endoscopes to identify issues that may not be visible during a standard visual inspection.

Should I attend the inspection?

While not required, buyers are welcome to attend the inspection near the end to ask questions and better understand the findings.

How do I schedule an inspection?

You can schedule by calling or texting 865-658-1050, emailing [email protected], or using our online contact form.
