Harmon Home Inspections is locally owned and operated. We service Sacramento and the Bay Area. We use National Association of Certified Home Inspector standards while providing digital E-reports. We use infrared technology on every inspection at no additional charge. Infrared is non-intrusive and allows us to see behind walls to find plumbing leaks, roof leaks, missing insulation, electrical hot spots and more. Harmon Home Inspections uses the state-of-the-art Home Gauge computer system which allows us to include color digital photos of your house in your inspection report. Harmon Home Inspection's E-Reports are available to our Clients and their Realtor within one business day of the inspection. Your inspection report is available to you 24/7 and can be printed and viewed as many times as necessary. All reports are password protected so that you can control access to your report. A Harmon Home Inspection is an excellent tool for you, the home buyer, to help determine not only the condition of the home, but to help foresee any immediate, unnecessary additional repairs that may go unnoticed without the help of a home inspection. Home inspections are not necessarily a prediction of future performance, but can point out existing problem areas and make "Improvement Recommendations." An inspection typically takes about 2 to 3 hours in most cases, which also includes answering your questions on site. The times may vary depending on the size, age, and the condition of the home. Harmon Home Inspections recommends and welcomes you to be present during the inspection, we will answer questions during the inspection as well as explain all of our findings to you and your Realtor at the end. Harmon Home Inspections performs home inspections 7-days a week. We also provide short-notice-inspections at no additional charge.

"Amazing. We had our realtor set up the inspection. Rob was incredibly thorough and explained everything in a way that I was able to understand (as someone with -3 experience in how a house is built, this was so useful.) We were able to take all of his notes and explanations and with the help of our realtor, our request for repairs received 0 push back because we were able to substantiate the requests with the information given to us by Rob. He was incredibly friendly."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

If you’ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn’t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home’s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional plumber near you to make an assessment.

Make it easier for your inspector to do a thorough assessment by preparing your home ahead of time. That includes:

  • Noting any signs of pests around the home

  • Removing obstacles in the way of the attic, basement, plumbing, garbage, and other key areas that inspectors will need to access

  • Keeping children and pets away from inspection areas

Living in a termite-infested home isn’t just annoying—it’s risky. These pests can quietly chew through wood, weakening your walls, floors, and even the structure of your house. On top of the safety concerns, there’s the financial stress of repairs, not to mention potential health issues from mold or allergens stirred up by termite activity.

Inspections include examining flue liners, interior walls, fireplace assembly, and materials for obstructions, build-ups, or signs of wear and recommending necessary action.

A mold inspection, especially in homes with a history of water damage or high humidity, is critical for maintaining a healthy living space. Mold can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems, particularly for individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems. Unchecked mold growth can lead to structural damage, resulting in costly repairs. A thorough inspection identifies visible mold and uncovers hidden sources to allow for timely remediation, preventing further damage and health risks.
