Robbie did a great job on our inspection. He was thorough, friendly, and had our report out to us the same day. He is very knowledgeable on current code standards, and what it takes to avoid issues in the future. We live out of state and wanted the inspection to determine if we should pursue the property we were interested in. From the beginning the process was very easy. Our inspection was scheduled for the next day and Robbie spent several hours going through the property. He called us afterwards and went through his findings with us over the phone, taking time to answer all our questions. Unfortunately, the property had more issues than we wanted to take on, but Robbie’s inspection gave us all the information we needed to make that decision. My husband and I feel we were able to pass on the property without feeling like we let a diamond in the rough get away based off the information Robbie gave us. Payment was very easy as well, and the price was reasonable.

Chris Turnbow was terrific, very thorough, and found key issues in the home in which I was interested. Because of Chris, I was able to make an informed decision about whether or not to make a purchase. He was friendly and answered all questions. 5 stars.

Robbie did a good and thorough job inspecting our future home today. He was punctional, professional and pleasant, engendering our confidence. We observed his quality service when he inspected our home for our new buyers. He did such a good job for them, I hired him to inspect on our behalf. He was even willing to go out of his normal region to serve our need. Thanks Robbie!

During our search to purchase our first home we used East Texas Home inspection inspectors to help us. We liked the first report so much we had them look at 2 more homes, and they were very accommodating. We had the pleasure to work with their inspectors Robbie and Adam each at different properties, and they both brought the same great customer service and knowledge. They were very thorough and did not seem to mind that we were there, and polite enough to explain things to us if we had any questions regarding their findings. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.

Wanted to share that the inspector didn’t even ask me to post, but he did such a fantastic job, I wanted to give other home buyers a heads up!We had recently hired an inspector through GreenWorks to check out a home before we purchased it. That inspector called out a few things. However, after purchasing the home, we started noticing items the inspector hadn’t called out.We asked for Evan to come by and do an inspection (we had worked with him on another home we were considering buying). The difference in the level of detail in the inspection reports was shocking.Evan will not only call out issues to address, but also things that are functioning well in your home. He called out multiple big issues that the other inspector completely missed, including areas of wood rot and potential issues with our AC system.Would 100% recommend using him to check out any home you buy, because he will be extremely thorough and give you all the details to make an informed buying decision.

I can say with 100% certainty that I would use this service again. Mr. Turnbow was very professional and personable, and he explained every question that was asked. The inspection was very thoroughly done and I will certainly be using his service again when I need another inspection.

Visual Septic Inspections

Our most common service, the Visual Septic Inspection, focuses on the visible and accessible parts of your septic system. This includes a detailed assessment of:

This type of inspection is ideal for buyers or homeowners seeking a quick overview of the septic system’s general health without extensive excavation or pumping.

Certified Septic Inspections

For a more in-depth analysis, we offer Certified Septic Inspections. This service involves a comprehensive inspection before and after a licensed septic company pumps the system. It is crucial that the tanks are not pumped before the initial on-site inspection, as the inspector must evaluate the system in its working state prior to pumping.

Once the initial evaluation is complete and the tanks are pumped, the inspector returns to examine:

The condition and integrity of internal tank components
The sludge and scum levels
Functionality of distribution boxes, filters, and other components
System response post-pumping

Note: Buyers are responsible for hiring a licensed septic company to perform the pumping. Coordination between the pumping service and East Texas Home Inspection is essential to ensure the inspection is conducted properly.
