We have been in business for over 10 years and have inspected over 5000 homes and buildings in the Rio Grande area. We were the first by over 6 years in South Texas to offer energy audits and Energy Star for homes compliance inspections. We have a large variety of tools and specialized training that goes far beyond what is required of an inspector in Texas. Some of the special tools we have include drones, bore-scopes, thermal imaging cameras, electrical voltage analyzers, generators, air conditioner duct testers, blower doors, spore trap pumps, allergen vacuums, and combustible gas detectors. These tools allow us to inspect areas that would not be normally accessible and give much better information to protect you and your family on their next home purchase. Our services do not stop with the inspections though. On our Residential Home Inspection, we will give a bound, detailed report that includes photos of the items found. In most cases we provide this report onsite. We also rather you be present at the inspection so we can show you a slide show, go through the report, and answer any questions you may have. We understand you may not be able to be there so we also can e-mail you the report and discuss it over the phone as well. We accept most forms of payment would be happy to work with you .

"Very thorough inspection. Chris was very informative, Carlos was focused on his / our inspection. We were concerned about pet markings from the owners dogs. I asked if he had a LED Light to detect urine markings in the master bedroom were there was carpet and to check if there was any moisture in the pad. Chris had what was needed in his magic bag. Pet urine is not included in the report but We and our agent have it in our report. Chris and Carlos were very professional and went above and beyond. We we’re shown the pictures as they explained to us the issues and areas of concerns We were also given great advise on making our home more energy efficient. The inspection took four hours we got the report the same day."

"I had a bad computer board in my oven. they said they would not cover it because they found a roach. This is Florida we have some roaches. i do not have a bug problem. It has nothing to do with a bad computer board. This company looks for a way to deny claims. i had one other claim and they tried to deny it as well. Save yourself some agravation and stay away. They must post their own positive reviews. They took my $65.00 fee and did nothing"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, an inspection contingency is likely a good idea, regardless of if you’re buying a new or older home. It can give you a set number of days to respond to objections that might have been found in the inspection so you can make an informed buying decision.

You can check your home's humidity in a few ways. A simple option is to use a hygrometer, which you can find at a hardware or big box store. Your smartphone may also have an app that can measure humidity. Modern thermostats, particularly smart thermostats, are also able to measure humidity levels.

You can call a professional septic company to inspect your tank and leach field if you suspect too much weight has been on it. An inspection is a good idea if you recently purchased the home and the septic system isn’t working like you expected. The professionals can determine whether a previous owner damaged it by placing too much weight on it.

If you’re in the market, you might think twice before buying a home with a cesspool on the property. You’ll need to factor in the costs of either maintaining the cesspool (such as with aeration, pumping, and cleaning) or dismantling the system and replacing it with a septic tank or sewage line connection. It might still be a good idea to buy that home, but you’ll need to decide for yourself if the costs and hassle are worth it.

You might consider demolishing a house if it has a faulty foundation, widespread mold or pest damage, or other significant issues. Older homes with outdated wiring systems or dangerous materials could also be good candidates for demolition. Or, if you’re planning to remodel the entire home, you might find that it’s more cost-effective to tear it all down and start from scratch.
