Professional Home Inspection Company, HomePro Inspection, Inc. serves the Greater Chattanooga Metropolitan and the North Georgia Areas. As a professional Home Inspector since September 1994, I look forward to working with you on the purchase of your home and performing a thorough home inspection for you.. I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT I SEE! Why is a Home Inspection so Important? With over 20 years experience as a professional Home Inspector many clients ask if I have seen it all. You might think so, but the FACT is almost every week and no less than once a month I discover that someone has invented a New Way to do it WRONG! Most needed corrections discovered during a Home Inspection are to prolong the life of the building, many are for general safety and in some cases the corrections are needed to prevent the loss of the structure or for life safety. With advancing technology and engineered building products installation instructions have become quite complicated and are ever changing. I call it job security because the number of weekend warriors and contractors that do not bother to stay current with their trade far exceed the number of homes that I can inspect each year. If more people would read the provided directions I very well could be out of a career, but not to worry, that will not happen any time soon. As a seasoned Home Inspector I do occasionally see great workmanship. I truly appreciate the hard work and impressive results that our area craftsmen take the time to perform. They are few and far between and deserve every ounce of respect and praise for a job well done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Roger was very thorough and informative. He didn't mind me attending the entire inspection and asking lots of questions. My realtor also confirmed that he is the toughest, most thorough inspector she knows. Very satisfied and impressed, recommend highly."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, many providers include video copies for your records. Confirm with your contractor.

At a minimum, landlords typically perform an apartment home inspection before tenants move in and after they move out. Most lease agreements include a “right to entry” clause allowing for “inspection by the landlord.” They do this to check for damage, identify repairs and maintenance needs, and ensure tenants are following property rules.

If the anode rod is no longer protecting your tank, you’ll spot telltale signs when you turn on a faucet. A bad anode rod can cause discoloration in your water, a rotten egg smell, intermittent hot water, and air in the water lines. Since these are symptoms of sediment damage to your water heater, don’t wait for them to occur before checking on the anode rod. 

Homeowners insurance usually doesn’t cover foundation cracks. They are considered normal wear and tear that every home undergoes. Your foundation in general is likely covered for things like fire and water damage, but most companies don’t insure damage caused by settling, shifting soil, earthquakes, and floods, which commonly lead to foundation cracks.

Sometimes, issues with the HVAC system or an unbalanced washing machine could be the reason your house feels like it’s moving, but it could also be other factors. If a large truck passes your house or there is construction in the area, your house may feel like it’s moving, but it will be short-lived and not a sign of a larger issue.
