Serving Portage County
A house is the biggest purchase most people ever make. A home inspection is how you learn what you are actually buying, while you still have time to ask questions, negotiate or walk away.
Dan Anderson is an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector. He walks the home from the roof down to the foundation, tests what can safely be tested, and explains what he finds in plain language. Your report includes photos and notes on what matters most.

Homes in Portage County
Rental and older homes
Homes near Kent are often older and may have been rentals. Wear, past repairs and updates all get a close look.
Rural properties
Out in the county, homes may have outbuildings, longer drives and more exposure to weather. The inspection covers the home and its visible systems.
Damp basements
Wet springs and below-grade spaces can mean moisture. Moisture is also where mold starts, so it pays to look closely.
Common questions
Should I attend the inspection?
Yes, if you can. Coming for the last part of the inspection lets Dan walk you through the main findings in person and answer questions on the spot.
Does an inspection mean the house passes or fails?
No. A home inspection is not a pass or fail test. It is a report on the condition of the home on the day of the inspection, so you can make an informed decision.
Can I add radon or mold to my home inspection?
Yes. Radon testing and mold inspection can be scheduled with your home inspection so everything is done in one visit.
