Home Inspections In Tyler Texas
Tyler, a city situated in northeastern Texas and the county seat of Smith County, was established in 1846. Found approximately 100 miles east-southeast of Dallas, the city was meticulously planned and named in honor of President John Tyler. Originally focused on agriculture, Tyler’s fortunes shifted in 1930 with the discovery of the East Texas oil field. Today I’m proud to offer home inspections in Tyler Texas, the heart of my East Texas service area.
Tyler is the heart of my service area. From the brick-street neighborhoods near downtown to the newer subdivisions off Broadway and Old Jacksonville Highway, I inspect homes across the Rose City every week. Whether you’re buying your first home near UT Tyler or a 1940s cottage in the Azalea District, you deserve to know exactly what you’re getting before you sign.
I started Detect and Inspect after paying for a poor inspection on my own home. That experience is why I take my time, walk every part of the house, and explain what I find in plain language.

What I look for during home inspections in Tyler Texas
- Foundations on East Texas clay. Tyler’s soils swell when wet and shrink in summer droughts. I check slab and pier-and-beam foundations for cracking, uneven floors and doors that stick.
- Older homes in historic districts. Homes near Azalea and Charnwood can have original wiring, galvanized plumbing and older roof framing that need a careful look.
- Tree-heavy lots. Mature pines and oaks mean clogged gutters, roof wear and limbs over the house. My drone and attic inspection catch issues you can’t see from the ground.
- Humidity and moisture. I use moisture meters and infrared imaging to find leaks around windows, plumbing and HVAC lines.
