Home Inspections Chandler Texas
Chandler sits on Highway 31 between Tyler and Athens in Henderson County, just west of the Neches River and close to the north end of Lake Palestine. The small town has grown steadily as families look for lake access, larger lots and a quieter pace within an easy drive of Tyler. Today I’m proud to offer home inspections in Chandler Texas for lakefront homes, country properties and new construction.

What I look for during home inspections in Chandler Texas
- Lakefront moisture. Homes near Lake Palestine deal with humidity, wind-driven rain and runoff. I check for leaks, rot and mold, and I use infrared imaging to find what’s hidden.
- Sloped lots and drainage. Lots that run down toward the water can push runoff under or against the house. I trace drainage paths and look for erosion.
- Decks and exterior stairs. Lake homes usually have big outdoor living spaces. I check framing, fasteners and railings for safety.
- Rural systems. Septic and private wells are common. I’ll note what needs a specialist evaluation.

Chandler Texas home inspections FAQs
What’s different about inspecting a lake home?
More moisture exposure, more outdoor structures and often septic systems. I spend extra time on the exterior, decks and crawlspace or slab edges.
Can you inspect a home I’m building near the lake?
Yes. Phase inspections during construction catch problems before they’re covered up.
Do you check for termites?
Yes. Wooded lake lots are prime termite territory, and my WDI inspection is inspection-only with no treatment sales.
