Home Inspection Services in East Texas
Whether you’re buying, selling, building or managing a property, Detect and Inspect offers inspection services across East Texas, from Tyler and Lindale to Longview, Palestine and everywhere in between. I started this business after paying for a poor inspection on my own home, so every inspection gets the time and care I’d want for my own family.
Every inspection comes with a clear, photo-backed report written in plain language, so you know exactly what you’re buying, selling or building. Pick a service below to learn more, or get your free quote.
Buying & Selling a Home
Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
A complete top-to-bottom inspection before you close: roof, attic, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior and exterior. Your report gives you the facts to negotiate repairs or walk away with confidence.
Pre-Listing Inspections
Selling? Find out what a buyer’s inspector will see before your home hits the market, so you can make repairs or disclose them up front and keep your sale on track.
Termite Inspections
Licensed wood destroying insect (WDI) inspections that check for termites, carpenter ants and wood damage. Inspection only, with no treatment sales pitch.
Roof & Attic Inspections
A close look at your roof and attic using drone photos, moisture meters and infrared imaging to find leaks, storm damage and insulation problems. Great for buyers and insurance claims.
Thermal Imaging Inspections
Infrared cameras reveal hidden moisture, missing insulation and overheating electrical parts that you can’t see with the naked eye.
New Construction
Building Phase Inspections
Inspections at key stages of construction, including foundation, framing and pre-drywall, to catch mistakes before the walls are closed and repairs get expensive.
New Build Home Inspections
An independent inspection of your brand-new home before closing. You get a photo punch list to hand your builder so problems get fixed before you move in.
11-Month Warranty Inspections
Before your builder’s one-year warranty ends, I’ll inspect the home and document defects so you can submit them while repairs are still covered.
Specialty Inspections
Manufactured Home Inspections
Inspections for manufactured and modular homes, including the underside, supports, tie-downs, skirting, roof and all major systems.
Pool and Spa Inspections
A check of visible pool and spa equipment, pumps, filters, heaters, electrical bonding, safety barriers and surfaces.
Well Inspections
For country properties, I check the visible well equipment, pressure tank and water flow, and recommend water testing when needed.
Sprinkler System Inspections
I run each accessible zone and check for broken heads, leaks, poor coverage and water spraying onto the house or foundation.
Solar Inspections
A look at visible solar panels, mounting, roof penetrations, wiring and the inverter for damage, leaks and installation concerns.
Owners & Investors
Rental Property Inspections
Inspections for landlords and investors, covering single-family rentals, duplexes and small multi-unit properties, with a focus on major systems and tenant safety items.
Commercial Inspections
Inspections of small commercial buildings for buyers, owners and investors, covering the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing and HVAC.
Home Maintenance Inspections
A yearly or after-the-storm checkup for homeowners to catch small problems before they become costly repairs.
Upon concluding the inspection, the home inspector furnishes an elaborate report that outlines their findings. This report might encompass photographs and descriptions of any identified defects or issues encountered during the inspection. The data within the report empowers the homebuyer to make informed decisions regarding the property and can additionally serve as a tool for negotiation with the seller or builder, if required.
