The Home Inspector Difference!

Different Home Inspectors have different qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and yes, different pricing. We have been providing Home Inspection Services in Kansas City for over 20 years. Our Inspectors will work for you to provide you the highest quality inspection at a reasonable price!

All of our ASHI home inspections include pictures, web access to your report, and a very detailed report with maintance tips. We will print and present a “Summary Overview” at the end of the inspection, highlighting the concerns with pictures of the issues. We feel we have the best report available to home owners.

Whole House Inspections

A whole-house inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation.

Our report will cover the condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; the foundation, basement, and structural components.

PE Licensed Structural Engineer for Foundation Inspection

The advantage of using a Licensed Engineer (P.E.) for your home inspection:

  • The PE will perform the foundation inspection
  • No need for 2nd Inspection of Suspect Structural Components
  • Gives the repair contractor the specifications for structural repairs if needed
  • A More Qualified Structural Analysis
  • 3rd Party Neutral Opinion (we do not perform repairs)

Radon Testing

Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas. You cannot see radon and you cannot smell it or taste it, but it may be a problem in your home. This is because when you breathe air-containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Testing is the only way to find out about your home’s radon level. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing of all homes below the third floor for radon.

It takes a minimum of 48 hours to perform a Radon Test.

We are Certified Residential Measurement Providers by the National Environmental Health Association National Radon Proficiency Program “A nationally recognized certification program for radon professionals maintaining the highest level of ethics and quality”.

Warranty Inspections

Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. Generally during this period of time the buyer develops a “punch list” of corrections for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent to obtain our home inspector’s list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal down the road.
