What is New Market Home Inspections LLC
A knowledgeable, local inspector
Finding the right inspector is a crucial component of the home inspection process. With over 20 years in the landscaping and construction industry, I have had the privilege to gain extensive knowledge about the systems and components of a home. Your home inspection needs to be a transparent and informative process that benefits your home inspection experience. I want to build valuable relationships with my clients. This is why I encourage clients to attend the inspection and ask any questions that comes to mind. Your happiness is my success.
Accurate, Reliable Inspections
Attention to detail: What does that mean to you? In a home inspection, it can be the difference between good information and misinformation. Strong attention to detail is a skill that increases effectiveness and productivity at work and decreases error. Being detail-oriented is essential to delivering high-quality work, which is why it is a highly sought-after skill in the home inspection market.
A Peace of Mind For You and Your Family
A home inspection will definitely give the buyer peace of mind and put the buyer’s mind at ease that the home is in good shape. It can also become a negotiation tool in closing, and could inform the buyer of potential future maintenance and upkeep. A seller of a home may also request a home inspection before the home is put on the market. This may assist the seller in setting a price, correct any issues with the home before it is put on the market, or merely having a pre-inspection report available for buyers informing them that the seller has nothing to hide.
Services
Buyer's Inspection
This type of inspection is the most common inspection involved with a real estate transaction that generally happens after making an offer on a property. The purpose is to get an honest, impartial report of the home's condition, to be informed of any problems and upcoming repairs, and to avoid unpleasant surprises after the sale.
Radon Testing
Radon is a radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, wellsealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. Testing takes 48 hours to complete with results available the day of completion.
Seller/Pre-Listing Inspection
The seller or pre-listing inspection is generally completed before the property is shown. This allows the seller to have the ability to make necessary repairs to his or her home so that it's market ready. While being a cost to the seller, it can be beneficial to the buyer since the home as already been inspected. Usually with a seller inspection, a follow up inspection at the buyer's request can be performed at minimal cost.
4-Point Inspection
A 4-point inspection is an examination of the current condition of a home, reviewing four major systems: roofing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. This is similar to the seller/pre-lisitng inspection in that is performed before being listed on the market. Stuctural, exterior, or interior inspection components are not included with this service and is not recommended to replace the buyer's inspection.
Pricing and Fees
Pricing starts at $300 and increases depending on square footage. There may be an additional charge for travel depending on the location of the property. Additional costs may be incurred if I have to make additional trips to the property to complete the inspection due to utilities being shut off or systems not in service at the time of the original inspection.

Here’s what to expect during a home inspection:
- A home inspector will look at things like a home’s foundation, structural components, roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, then provide a written home inspection report with results
- A home inspection generally takes two to four hours, but may take more time depending on the size of the house. After the physical inspection, the home inspector may take a couple of days to send the written report (Most can be sent within the same day if not the next morning).
- Buyers should attend the inspection so they can explore their new home in detail and ask questions during the process. This can give you more information than the report alone.
You can’t see radon, but it’s not hard to find out if you have a radon problem in your home. Radon is radioactive gas that comes from the natural decay of uranium in all soils. East Tennessee does have a higher content of radon than other parts of the country. All you need to do is test for radon. Testing is easy and takes 48 hours to complete. The amount of radon in the air is measured in “picocuries per liter of air,” or “pCi/L.” There are many kinds of low-cost “do it yourself” radon test kits you can get through the mail and in some hardware stores and other retail outlets. Performing the test with a continuous radon monitor is the most cost effective way to measure radon in your home.
It’s in your interest as a home seller to provide quick and easy access to everything on that home inspection checklist. Here are some ways you can help:
- Leave keys (for instance, for your electrical panel), and label where the inspector can find them
- Make sure all pilot lights are on for fireplaces and furnaces, even in summer, so the inspector can check the heating and other appliances
- Tidy your basement. There needs to be an unobstructed path down the steps and through to your furnace/HVAC unit/water heater and anything else that needs inspecting
- Tidy your attic same as your basement
- Clean up key areas in your yard so the inspector can easily access your crawl space, drainage access points, or septic tank
- If the home is vacant and the utilities have been shut off, have them reconnected
Being helpful won’t necessarily buy you a better report, but even professionals appreciate thoughtfulness.
