Independent Home Inspection has been serving Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana since 1997.  Our mission is to work strictly for our clients to avoid possible conflicts of interest and to provide them with as much information as possible on the property they are buying or selling, so that they can better make informed decisions.

At present, the State of Ohio has no regulation for the Home Inspection industry. Anybody with a notepad and a business card can represent themselves as a Home Inspector.  An incorrect evaluation by an unqualified inspector could have serious consequences for a potential homeowner.

Approximately one third of new home inspectors will be out of the business after one year. Many get into the business with minimal training or experience.

Our inspectors have an average experience level of 25 years in all phases of home construction, renovation, and  inspection. Our inspectors have been certified by both The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and The National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI), the two most respected home inspection trade groups in North America. Both ASHI and NAHI have strict requirements for their members as far as competence, standards, ethics, experience, and continuing education. Our inspectors are licensed in Kentucky to perform home inspections and are also licensed to do termite and wood destroying insect inspections.  Licensed Radon monitoring is also available.

Most home inspections are conducted by a team of two inspectors. This results in a faster but very thorough inspection, while minimizing inconvenience to both buyers and sellers. A team inspection on an average size house typically takes 2 hours, about half the time that one person should spend on a complete inspection. Our inspectors arrive with all tools and equipment necessary to do a complete inspection, including ladders, assorted electrical testers, pressure gauges, gas leak and Carbon Monoxide detectors, moisture meters, measuring devices, as well as other hand and specialty tools.

Our home inspection covers all major components, from foundation to roof, as well as hundreds of other smaller, but important items. Our inspections meet or exceed standards set by both NAHI and ASHI and are protected by errors and omissions, workers comp, and general liability insurance.

Our home inspection includes a computer generated inspection report that evaluates all components of the house with emphasis on any significant items that were found. The report is detailed, but concise and easy to follow. There are no long narratives to sort through, complicated codes to interpret, or handwritten comments to try and decipher.

We are always available during and after the purchase process to assist you or answer any questions that may arise with the inspection itself, or with general repair or maintenance issues.
