Residential Inspections
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly.

A pool inspection is one of the most important steps in owning a swimming pool. We are licensed and insured to inspect residential swimming pools and spas, commercial swimming pools and spas, and water features such as fountains and whirlpool tubs.
Crawlspace Inspections
A crawlspace inspection is a crucial aspect of maintaining the health and safety of your home. This often-overlooked area, situated beneath your home’s foundation, plays a significant role in ensuring structural integrity and preventing costly issues. A top of the line tracked inspection robot is used for all crawspace inspections. Providing you with a full spectrum view of the crawlspace with 1080 p pictures and video.
Mold Inspections
There are over 400,000 types of mold, and while there are only a few dozen that are toxic, exposure to many molds can lead to health problems. It can also cause structural damage to your house.
Pre-Listing Inspections
A pre-listing inspection can not only help expedite the selling process but potentially even increase the property's sale price. Additionally, they can help reduce the chances of a sale falling through due to unexpected issues with the property being discovered during the negotiation or buyer's inspection.
1 Year Warranty Inspection
Most builders offer a one-year warranty on a new home. We perform a full home inspection before the builder’s warranty expires. Just because your home is new, doesn’t necessarily mean it is defect-free. At your 11-month mark, take advantage of your last chance to take advantage of your warranty!

While Hard Knox Home Inspections encourages our clients to walk through the home with us, we understand that you may be too busy, and may not have time to do so.
Regardless of whether or not you attend the inspection, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, which includes all of the information you need to determine the condition of the home.
We will deliver our report within 24 hours of the conclusion of your home inspection, so that you can quickly access a full overview of our findings – and discuss them with us and your agent.

Home inspections generally take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration of a home inspection depends on many factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the ability to access certain areas of the home (roof, crawl space, attic, etc.).
Should I attend the inspection?
Although it is not necessary, we do recommend that you attend the inspection so you can ask questions and learn more about the home. You will learn a lot from the inspection report, but we always encourage you to attend!
What if the inspection report reveals problems?
It is important to note that no house is perfect. At the end of the home inspection process, we will provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property, with images and videos highlighting what may need repair or replacement. The information provided is to allow a potential buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward with the transaction. It is not pass or fail.
