Get the right answer the first time, not the same answer twice.
Why Ryan sticks to what he does best, and how going straight to the right specialist saves you time and money.
Many buyers end up paying twice
Some home inspectors offer add-ons like sewer scopes, radon tests, mold sampling or well and septic checks. It sounds convenient: one appointment, one bill.
But those systems are specialties of their own. When a general inspector flags a problem, lenders, sellers and repair companies often want a licensed specialist to confirm it and say what it'll take to fix. So the buyer pays the inspector for the add-on, then pays the specialist to look at the same thing again.
You shouldn't have to pay twice to get one real answer.
Add-on inspection vs. the right specialist
The add-on route
- Pay your home inspector for an add-on inspection
- They find a possible issue outside their core expertise
- Pay a licensed specialist to inspect it again
- Finally get an answer you can negotiate with
The 2M route
- Ryan inspects the home and flags anything that needs a closer look
- He can recommend a trusted local specialist
- You may avoid paying for a duplicate inspection
Honest about what he does, and who does the rest best
Ryan has spent 20+ years focused on the home inspection itself. Rather than stretch outside that, he'll tell you when a system needs a specialist and point you to companies he trusts in the valley. Recommendations are offered as a courtesy; you're free to choose any qualified provider.
Sewer scope
A plumbing or sewer company runs a camera through the line and can tell you what a repair would actually involve.
Well inspection
A well company can test flow, check the pump and equipment, and handle water quality testing.
Septic inspection
A septic company can pump, inspect the tank and drainfield, and evaluate its condition.
Radon & mold testing
Certified testers and labs measure what can't be seen. Ryan still calls out any visible mold or moisture he finds during your inspection.
