Waco is one of the more varied markets I work in. You’ll find new builds and homes from several decades back sitting in the same neighborhood, along with a mix of slab and pier-and-beam construction, shingle and metal roofing, and everything in between. That variety means no two inspections look the same, and I don’t treat them like they do.
Roofing is the most consistent issue I find across Waco properties. Central Texas storm patterns are hard on roofs, and the quality of installation varies widely. Foundation movement from expansive clay soil shows up in older and newer homes alike, and older homes often carry electrical systems that weren’t built to handle modern appliance loads.
I take a systematic approach on every inspection so nothing gets skipped, regardless of the property’s age or construction type.
In Waco, I inspect everything from historic homes to recent new builds, covering all major systems with the same thorough process at every property. Thermal imaging and moisture testing are included in every standard inspection. Sewer scope is strongly recommended on older Waco properties where cast iron lines and ground movement are common concerns.
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.
