Certified Home Inspectors

Bringing Peace of Mind on the Investment You Will Make in Western North Carolina, Including Asheville

Protect your investment with our comprehensive inspection reports

 We provide a comprehensive inspection report that goes beyond the basics. You'll find detailed notes, high-resolution photographs, and explanations in layman's terms – everything you need to make an informed decision on investments you'll make into purchasing a new house or to help you understand the condition of your current home. The digital report includes all the information you need regarding the condition of your home, highlighting areas of concern and maintenance issues.

Comprehensive Residential Inspection Services

We inspect properties according to the rigorous Standards of Practice required by the state of North Carolina. Our reports are digital, detailed, and written in plain English, complete with high-resolution photography.

The 4-Point & Structural Inspection

We meticulously assess the visible and accessible components of the home’s physical structure and critical systems:

  • Structural Systems: We inspect the foundation for cracks, settling, or other issues that could compromise the structural integrity of the home. 
  • Roofing & Exterior: We assess the condition of your roof, looking for signs of wear, leaks, or potential storm damage.
  • HVAC Systems: We evaluate the heating and cooling systems for efficiency and functionality. 
  • Electrical System: We ensure your electrical system is safe, minimizing the risk of electrical fires. 
  • Plumbing System: We check for leaks, corrosion, and proper drainage throughout the plumbing system. 
  • Interior Components: We inspect walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and built-in appliances for any damage.

By identifying potential issues early on, you can avoid costly repairs down the road, negotiate a better price with the seller, and budget for any necessary future maintenance. Our detailed inspection report will equip you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your potential home.

Environmental & Ancillary Testing Services

Many hazards in a home are invisible. We offer specialized testing to ensure your indoor environment is safe.

Radon Testing in Western North Carolina

Is your home safe from radioactive gas? Radon is a Class A human carcinogen naturally occurring in the soil and rock. Due to the granite-heavy geology of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Asheville area, radon levels here frequently exceed EPA safety guidelines.

  • Our Process: We utilize continuous radon monitors placed in the home for 48 hours.
  • The Result: A certified report detailing average pCi/L levels and recommendations for mitigation if necessary.

Water Quality Testing

If your property relies on a private well or spring, water quality is not guaranteed by the municipality. We collect samples for laboratory analysis to detect:

  • Coliform Bacteria (E. coli)
  • Lead and Heavy Metals
  • Nitrates/Nitrites
  • Turbidity and pH levels

Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspections

Termites and wood-boring beetles are common in humid North Carolina climates. While we do not perform treatment, we coordinate WDI Reports (Termite Letters) through licensed third-party pest control professionals to ensure your wood framing is free of infestation.

Septic & Mold Services

For homes that rely on a septic system for wastewater disposal, a proper inspection is essential. At Affordable Inspections Inc., we understand the importance of a healthy and functioning septic system for your home's overall well-being. While not included in our standard inspection, we can coordinate a septic inspection with a qualified professional upon your request.

  • Septic System Inspection (available upon request): We coordinate functional load testing and tank inspections with qualified septic contractors.
  • Mold Testing: Air quality sampling and laboratory analysis available for properties with moisture concerns.

We believe in honest, upfront pricing based on the total square footage of the heated living area.

Jodi Foster 6/13/2025

Chad Bryant of Affordable Inspections was EXCELLENT! His inspection of my house was very thorough and he took the time to show me some of his findings. He explained anything I didn’t understand and entertained all questions. The final report was so much more than I was expecting, it was very detailed with photos documenting everything. In my opinion, the rates were a bargain and I would happily have paid more, and obviously highly recommend!

Arlene Pink 1/6/2025

I was very pleased with the inspection on the home I was purchasing. The inspector went over everything he noticed while I was right there with him. They were friendly, courteous and completely understanding when I had questions about something in the home. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a home inspection. I would definitely use them again if needed

Brett Robison 7/31/2023

Chad was excellent! His thorough inspection uncovered a problem with the master bath shower that allowed us to get an $8,000 credit at closing! The report he filed was very detailed including routine maintenance items we will need to be on top of as new home owners. I can't think Chad and Affordable Inspections enough for their highly professional execution. Highly recommend using their services for your next home purchase!

Jeff B 7/26/2023

It may seem pricey at first, but the level of expertise, the detail, and the thoroughness of the inspection more than made this the best home inspection we have ever ordered. Austin communicated well and was able to perform the inspection and generate the report quickly enough to meet our tight schedule. He handled the house, septic and well testing, eliminating two other tests we would have to order, saving is time and hassle. I highly ... continue reading

Leslie Leighton 7/25/2023

Austin is a great inspector, very thorough and complete. After the inspection he was also very available to answer questions. Probably the best inspector I have ever had for a home inspection.
