NPI inspectors are trained to perform an unbiased, visual home inspection with detailed reports. Our professional inspectors assess the home from roof to foundation and everywhere in-between to report safety hazards and explain current conditions of every part of the home. Our home inspectors allow you a private walk-through with details on major issues and findings. After the initial inspection, you are set to receive a clear and concise inspection report for your records. Our records are appropriate for all purchase and sale inspection negotiations, warranty repairs or any future repairs. We are your professional Ohio home inspector.

We encourage all our clients to attend the inspection and take the time to walk the house with our inspector. Your real estate agent or broker is also invited to be on site but we prefer the seller not be present in a purchase and sale due to the conflict of interest and the buyers confidentiality.

The following are some of our professional services and terms in performing building inspections:

• Homebuyer’s Inspection
  Often referred to as a "whole house inspection", this type of inspection is typical in a purchase and sale agreement contingency. Our inspection report gives a clear view of the safety and current condition of the home. The detailed report is available to the potential homebuyer to use for negotiations and to understand the current condition of the home.
• Homeseller’s Pre-Listing Inspection
  This inspection is great for sellers considering listing their home but wish to be aware of any issues ahead of time and address them accordingly. This type of home inspection in Dayton and the surrounding areas will also give potential buyers confidence that the seller is concerned about any safety issues and plans on correcting them ahead of time.
• New Construction Phase/Draw Inspection
  The construction type inspection is for homeowners or construction lenders during the construction process. Our inspectors report on the home in various stages of the construction to assess the quality and condition of the work being done. This typically allows for the next phase of completion to be performed. The timing and reports for these inspections are customized to fit the needs of the client.
• Home Energy Audit/Inspection
  A home energy evaluation or energy audit allows the homeowners to upgrade the energy efficiency of their Ohio homes, with the goal of lowering their energy bills and increasing their home's comfort level and value. Many times the amount of energy saved far exceeds the energy evaluation inspection costs. Call for a free quote.
• Thermal Imaging/Infrared Thermography Inspection
  In a thermal imaging or infrared inspection, our inspectors use a specifically-designed camera that records images of the infrared light waves emitted from different objects and surfaces. All surfaces project different normal temperatures that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Our camera's lens can record this light, which provides our inspectors with information about what may be happening behind the wall or above the ceilings. Thermal imaging can help detect: missing insulation, water leakage, hot spots in electrical wiring, drafts around doors or windows, improperly installed ductwork, pest infestation and storm damage.
• New Home Builder’s Warranty Inspection
  Many brand-new home builders provide home buyers with a 12-month Builder’s Warranty. This allows the homeowner to have a professional inspection to find any potential issues and discuss these with the builder prior to the warranty expiration.  If repairs are not needed, it provides peace of mind regarding the quality of the new home to the homeowners.
• Employee Relocation Home Inspection
  Time is generally of the essence when a family is relocated for business purposes. Prior to beginning negotiations for purchase of a home, relocation companies generally order a home inspection to determine the need for repair and maintenance.
• Radon Testing
  Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that comes from the natural radioactive breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water.  It can also lead to the cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.  Both the U.S. Surgeon General and the Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov) recommend that radon levels in all homes be tested and inspected.  Tom Trotter is licensed to perform radon testing in Ohio.  Setting up a radon test in your home takes just a few minutes. The testing then takes about 48 hours.  Clients receive a final report indicating levels of radon in the home.  Testing should be performed to keep you and your family safe from this dangerous gas.
