1,847 hidden defects
found before closing

Last year alone. Every one of them would have become the buyer's problem — and expense — after keys changed hands.

Skipping the inspection is the most expensive gamble in real estate

0

Twenty-three things wrong with the average American home — and the sellers aren't volunteering that information.

Most defects are invisible to an untrained eye. Hairline foundation cracks, reversed polarity in outlets, slow gas leaks behind drywall. The inspector's job is to make the invisible visible before it becomes your mortgage.

$0

The inspection fee is $425. The average repair credit our clients negotiate back is $14,200.

That's not a typo. When we hand you a report with photographic evidence of every defect, you walk into the negotiation with facts, not feelings. Sellers lower the price or fix it. Either way, you win.

Eight in ten homes have at least one condition that poses a direct safety risk to the people living inside.

Faulty GFCI protection near water. Carbon monoxide paths from the furnace. Improper handrail heights on stairs. These aren't cosmetic — they're hazards. Finding them before closing is the entire point.

What gets inspected
when we walk through

A thorough inspection covers 400+ individual checkpoints across six major systems. You receive a same-day digital report with photos, severity ratings, and plain-English explanations for every finding.

Critical

Foundation & Structure

Cracks, settlement, water intrusion, framing anomalies — we get into the crawl space so you don't have to.

Safety

Electrical Systems

Panel capacity, grounding, GFCI protection, visible wiring conditions, and every outlet in the house.

High Priority

Plumbing

Supply and drain lines, water heater age and condition, pressure, and signs of slow leaks behind walls.

Exterior

Roof & Attic

Shingle condition, flashing, gutters, ventilation, insulation depth, and evidence of past water damage.

Mechanical

HVAC Systems

Furnace age and operation, AC cooling delta, ductwork, filter condition, and carbon monoxide risk.

Full Walk

Interior & Finishes

Windows, doors, floors, ceilings, walls — every room walked, every surface noted.

"The report landed in my inbox three hours after the walk-through. Fourteen pages, 47 photos, every defect ranked by severity. I used it to negotiate $11,500 off the asking price. The inspection cost me $425."

Margaret Sullivan

First-time buyer, Columbus OH

"I've been referring clients to Inspect for four years. My buyers close with confidence and my sellers know I'm not hiding anything. That's worth more than any commission."

David Okafor

Realtor, RE/MAX Central Ohio

"We were relocating from Denver and bought the house on FaceTime. The inspector walked every inch and called us live from the attic. When he found the cracked heat exchanger, we renegotiated the price from 1,800 miles away."

"The radon test came back at 8.2 pCi/L — nearly double the EPA action level. The seller installed a mitigation system before closing. That finding alone was worth ten times the inspection fee."

Tom Brzezinski

Buyer, Dublin OH

"As a first-time buyer I didn't know what I didn't know. Having someone walk me through the report and explain what was serious versus what was cosmetic gave me the confidence to close."

Aaliyah Washington

First-time buyer, Westerville OH

"The sewer scope found a root intrusion 40 feet out from the foundation. The seller replaced the line. Without that add-on, I'd have had a $9,000 surprise in year one."
