Home inspection in Chicagoland
A home inspection is a methodical, system-by-system review of a property, covering the foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, windows, doors, and structural components. We use thermal imaging and moisture detection along with careful visual checks to catch problems that are easy to miss. Because we inspect one home per day, you get our full focus rather than a rushed walk-through. Our reports list an average of around seventy items with photographs and priority levels so you k...

Commercial properties call for a closer look than a typical house, and our commercial inspections are built for that. We evaluate structural condition, roofing, electrical service, plumbing, commercial HVAC, fire safety systems, parking areas, and accessibility features. We also note compliance concerns with building codes and ADA requirements, and how well the systems can handle the intended use. Our reports focus on repair priorities and the remaining life of major systems, which helps with ne...
Radon testing in Chicagoland
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can seep into homes from the soil, and it is a real health concern in many parts of the Chicago area. We use professional-grade digital monitors to measure radon levels accurately in your home. Testing is simple to arrange and the results come with a clear explanation of what they mean. If levels are high, we discuss mitigation options and can refer you to trusted contractors. Radon testing is often added to a home purchase or offered on its ow...
Sewer scope inspection
A sewer scope inspection uses a high-resolution camera fed through your sewer line to reveal what is happening underground. It can show cracks, offset joints, root intrusion, and blockages that would otherwise stay hidden until they cause a backup or an expensive excavation. We record video of the inspection so you can see the condition of the pipe for yourself. Many buyers add this service because older homes in the area often have aging clay or cast iron lines. After the inspection we review t...
Chimney scan inspection in Chicagoland
A chimney scan looks at the flue, liner, and masonry to determine whether the chimney is safe to use. We check for cracks, deterioration, blockages, and signs of water damage, using camera equipment and thermal imaging where it helps. Problems with a chimney can lead to fire or carbon monoxide risk, so this is a useful check before you light your first fire in a new home. Our report explains what we found and how urgent any repairs are. If a chimney sweep or masonry repair is needed, we can reco...
Pool inspection in Chicagoland
A pool inspection covers the equipment, safety features, and surrounding structure of a backyard pool. We look at the pump, filter, heater, plumbing, and electrical connections, and we check the safety features such as barriers, covers, and drains. We also watch for signs of water loss, leaks, or damage to the shell and deck. Our report tells you what is working well, what needs attention, and what the likely cost of repairs might be. Buyers of homes with pools often rely on this inspection to a...

“As first-time homebuyers, we truly appreciated how patient and informative Glen was throughout the inspection process. He took the time to clearly walk us through what needed our attention, what was urgent versus what could wait, and thoughtfully answered our follow-up questions afterward. His guidance made the experience feel far less overwhelming. We would absolutely recommend his services to anyone looking to purchase property in Chicago.”

“We had a great experience with this inspection company from start to finish. Scheduling online was incredibly easy, and their website was far more professional and well-maintained than other companies we researched. All of the email and online portal communication was clear, direct, and very informative, which made the entire process stress-free. Our inspector, Tim, was fantastic. He was flexible with his schedule when we had a last minute issue, communicated promptly and kindly, arrived right on time, and treated everyone with respect. He did a very thorough job and explained things in a way that was easy to understand while staying humble and approachable. He answered all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. We also received a very timely and extremely thorough report. Highly recommend! Price assessment Reasonable price Services Service not listed”
