General Home Inspection

A home inspection helps provide buyers peace of mind by giving valuable information on the investment they are about to make. An AmeriSpec® inspection provides a visual examination of more than 400 items in a home from the foundation to the roof. Our inspectors are trained to perform a professional inspection that meets the highest standards in the industry and follow the technical guidelines established by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).

Our 400+ item inspection findings are packaged in an attractive, easy-to-reference, three-ring binder. The AmeriSpec ReportTM - acknowledged by Realtors® as the gold standard for home inspection reports - features a comprehensive evaluation of the home, a 193 page Home Maintenance Manual, a seasonal maintenance checklist, and a variety of home-related services from our ServiceMaster® partner companies.

AmeriSpec® inspectors go through extensive training and continuing education, always striving to enhance the quality of each inspection conducted. AmeriSpec® offers the best training in the industry by combining classroom instruction and hands-on technical training in our state of the art training facility. To enhance training in the classroom, AmeriSpec uses a complete educational training system developed specifically for AmeriSpec by Carson Dunlop and Associates, one of the most respected names in professional home inspection training.


Radon Testing

This inspection includes the placement of testing devices to measure the ongoing level of radon in the habitable areas of the home. These measurements evaluate the level of radon to determine if any form of improvement is required.

The EPA document A Citizen's Guide To Radon (Third Edition) provides the basic information everyone should know about Radon. For more information on how to reduce your radon health risk, use the following links to the EPA website for copies of these guides:

Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon

Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction

If you plan to make repairs yourself, be sure to contact your state radon office or visit our publications site for a current copy of EPA's technical guidance on radon mitigation, "Application of Radon Reduction Techniques for Detached Houses."

Water Quality Analysis

This service is a sampling of drinking water within the home. The purpose of the inspection is to provide information about the quality of the water in the home at the time of the inspection.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Testing

This service determines if the combustible appliances in the home are releasing harmful levels of carbon monoxide. Exposure to carbon monoxide reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen. Often a person or an entire family may not recognize that carbon monoxide is poisoning them. The chemical is odorless and some of the symptoms are similar to common illnesses. This can be particularly dangerous because carbon monoxide's deadly effects are rarely recognized until it is too late to take action against them.
