Home Inspections Marshall Texas

Marshall is the seat of Harrison County and one of East Texas’s most historic cities, home to East Texas Baptist University, Wiley University and the famous Wonderland of Lights each Christmas. Buyers here find stately older homes near the courthouse square, established mid-century neighborhoods, and country properties stretching toward Caddo Lake and the Louisiana line. Today I’m proud to offer home inspections in Marshall Texas and throughout Harrison County.

Many of Marshall’s homes were built long before modern codes, and decades of East Texas weather leave their mark. Pier-and-beam floors settle, original wiring gets patched over time, and humid summers push moisture into crawlspaces and attics. Even newer neighborhoods can have drainage problems on wooded lots, where gutters fill with pine needles and water collects near the foundation. Out toward Caddo Lake, properties often rely on septic systems and private wells, and outbuildings may have been added over the years without permits. Whether you’re buying a historic house near the square or a few acres in the country, I’ll walk the whole property with you and explain what I find in plain language, with photos you can share with your agent.

What I look for during home inspections in Marshall Texas

  • Historic homes. Older construction often has outdated electrical, plumbing and framing methods. I document what’s original and what’s been updated.
  • Pier-and-beam foundations. Many Marshall homes sit on piers. I check for settling, rot, moisture and missing supports in the crawlspace.
  • Humidity and mold. Harrison County’s humid climate and wooded lots create moisture problems in crawlspaces and attics.
  • Termites. Subterranean termites are common across the area. My WDI inspection checks for activity and damage.

Not at all, but it needs a realistic budget. My report shows which items need attention now and which can be planned for later.

Do you inspect homes near Caddo Lake?

Yes. Call with the address and I’ll confirm scheduling.

Can I get a roof inspection after storm damage?

Yes. My roof and attic inspection uses drone photos, moisture meters and infrared imaging, which is useful for insurance claims.
