General Home Inspection

What It Is

A complete, top-to-bottom evaluation of a home's structure, systems, and safety. Every general inspection from Advanced Home and Property Inspection evaluates all interior and exterior components and gives you a clear, photo-documented understanding of the property's condition — explained in plain language you can actually use.

Why You Need It

Buying a home is one of the largest and most important investments most people will ever make. A thorough inspection from an experienced inspector removes the emotion from the decision and replaces it with facts — the true condition of the roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and every other major system. You walk away knowing exactly what you're buying.

What's Inspected

  • Roof, attic, insulation & ventilation
  • Plumbing & electrical systems
  • Heating & cooling systems
  • Walls, ceilings, windows & doors
  • Foundation & structural components
  • Basement & crawl spaces
  • Garages & driveways
  • Decks, porches & exterior features
  • Siding & the lot

Radon Testing

What It Is

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can seep into homes from the soil — and it's common across the Tennessee Valley. Radon testing measures the level present in a home so you know whether it's within a safe range or needs mitigation.

Why You Need It

Radon is the kind of risk you can't see, smell, or taste — and prolonged exposure is a serious health concern. Because elevated radon is widespread in this region, testing during your inspection gives you the facts you need to protect your family before you ever move in.

Why It Matters

  • Invisible, odorless — only testing reveals it
  • Common across the Tennessee Valley
  • A serious long-term health risk
  • Know levels before you buy
  • Identifies whether mitigation is needed
  • Peace of mind for your family

Mold Inspection

What It Is

A focused inspection for moisture intrusion and mold growth — checking the areas where hidden moisture tends to collect and identifying conditions that allow mold to take hold. Mold often hides where you can't easily see it, behind walls, under flooring, and in crawl spaces.

Why You Need It

Mold can damage both a home and your health, and it spreads quietly when moisture goes unaddressed. Catching mold and the moisture problems that feed it early lets you address them before they become a larger, more expensive issue — and before they affect the people living in the home.

What We Look For

  • Visible mold & staining
  • Hidden moisture intrusion
  • Crawl space & basement conditions
  • Areas of poor ventilation
  • Conditions that allow mold to grow
  • Problem areas documented with photos

Advanced Technology

Thermal Imaging

What It Is

Infrared thermal imaging uses temperature differences to reveal problems hidden behind walls, ceilings, and floors — things a standard visual inspection alone simply can't see. It's a powerful, non-invasive tool that adds an extra layer of detail to your inspection.

Why You Need It

Some of the most costly home issues stay out of sight until they've done real damage. Thermal imaging helps catch moisture intrusion, missing or failed insulation, and electrical hot spots early — giving you a more complete and accurate picture of the home's true condition.

What It Reveals

  • Hidden moisture intrusion
  • Missing or failed insulation
  • Electrical hot spots
  • Energy-loss areas
  • Problems behind walls & ceilings
  • Non-invasive & photo-documented

Roofs & Hard-to-Reach Areas

Aerial Drone Inspection

What It Is

Aerial drone technology lets us get a close, detailed look at steep, high, or hard-to-reach roofs and upper exterior areas — without the limitations and risk of physically climbing every roof. The drone captures clear, up-close imagery of areas that are otherwise difficult to evaluate.

Why You Need It

Roofs are one of the most expensive systems in any home, and the hardest to inspect well. Drone inspection means steep pitches, multi-story homes, and fragile roofing get a thorough, safe evaluation — so nothing on the roofline gets overlooked just because it was hard to reach.

What It Covers

  • Steep & high-pitch roofs
  • Multi-story & hard-to-reach areas
  • Roofing condition & damage
  • Chimneys, flashing & vents
  • Upper exterior & gutters
  • Safe, close-up aerial imagery

For Investors & Rentals

Investor Inspection

What It Is

A thorough inspection geared toward investors evaluating a rental, flip, or income property. Tim gives you a clear, honest picture of a property's true condition — the kind of straight information you need to run the numbers and make a smart decision.

Why You Need It

An investment property lives and dies by the numbers, and surprises after closing eat directly into your return. An experienced inspection up front helps you understand what you're really buying, budget accurately for repairs, and walk into the deal with eyes wide open.

What You Gain

  • Honest picture of true condition
  • Accurate repair budgeting
  • Confidence in the numbers
  • Full system & structural evaluation
  • Photo-documented findings
  • Hard copy & electronic report
