Structural Systems
Foundation, grading and drainage, roof structure and attic, interior and exterior walls, ceilings and floors, doors and windows, stairways, fireplaces and chimneys, porches and decks.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your home, True South Home Inspection brings the same professional, plain-English approach from the moment you call.
On inspection day, Kevin inspects every accessible area of the property — interior, exterior, attic, crawlspace, and roof — in accordance with the Standards of Practice established by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). Clients are welcome to join for as much or as little of the inspection as desired.
The more time spent walking through the inspection, the more is learned about the home — where the main water shut-off is located, how the HVAC system operates, and why certain areas may need attention. It’s a unique opportunity to have a credentialed inspector point things out and explain what they mean. Take advantage of it.
After the inspection, a walkthrough of the home’s overall condition is provided. Items needing more immediate attention are clearly identified, along with areas to monitor for deferred maintenance.
Clients leave with a clear understanding of the findings — before ever opening the report.
Within 24 hours of the inspection, a full online report with interactive features is delivered, along with a downloadable PDF. Every finding is clearly documented with photos and written in plain English, with helpful reference material for the items discussed on site.
The report is structured so it can be easily converted into a repair request — no parsing, no decoding, no waiting days for clarification.
