Temple is home base for L7 Home Inspections, and it’s where I do a significant share of my work. I know this area well, from the newer developments pushing out from the city center to the older neighborhoods where foundation movement and aging electrical systems are common concerns.
Central Texas clay soil is one of the biggest factors in home performance here. It swells with spring rains and contracts hard in summer heat, and that cycle puts real stress on foundations, walls, and anything attached to them. I look for those patterns on every inspection.
Whether you’re buying a newer build or a home from several decades back, you’re going to get three hours of systematic, unhurried inspection with thermal imaging and moisture testing included. No rushing, no shortcuts.
In Temple, I inspect everything from newer slab construction to older pier-and-beam homes, covering all major systems including roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. Sewer scope inspections are strongly recommended here, especially on older properties where cast iron lines are still in use.
I'm the owner and the only inspector at L7. Every client gets the same thorough, attention to detail, hands-on inspection from someone who's spent 25 years understanding how buildings are actually built and where they fail.
Most inspectors charge extra for infrared camera work. I include it in every standard inspection, along with moisture meter verification, so I'm triple-checking anything that looks suspicious before I write it up.
I don't disappear once I send your report. Call me, text me, I'll answer your questions. You deserve to understand what I found, and I'm not done until you do.
