Hey Fellow Texans!
You should never buy a home without having it inspected first. You never know whether the foundation might be cracked, whether the home might be infested with mold or termites, or other hidden problems that they naked eye can’t see.
And when you start shopping for a reliable home inspection company, try Ion Home Inspection - Houston, Katy, Sugar Land are the areas they cover.
One great thing about their site too is that under “Keys to Success” there are a ton of articles about home inspection, particularly the first one from The Wall Street Journal that points out the following:
1. There are the usual money saving structural, electrical, plumbing, and appliance issues but the increasingly important issues of how the home was used in the past come into play. For example, what if you bought a house and it was used as a Meth Lab, or crack house by the prior owner. Mold or flooding? Would you want a baby crawling around on that carpet? That is a very real issue for real estate investors as well…liability issues.
2. The poor state of new home construction.
3. Lack of state home inspection regulation in mosts of the country. Texas inspectors have to be licensed by the state, with background checks, and testing (one of the few states).
Ion Home Inspection covers millions of people in the Houston Metro region. It is easy to book an inspection online without the pushy sales talk. AND they also offer some FREE Stuff!!
