Services

What we do

Every inspection follows the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and the State of Ohio inspection standards. Prices are listed below — book online, or call or text and we'll get you on the schedule.

Buyer's home inspection

A top-to-bottom visual inspection of the house you're buying — roof to foundation, systems and appliances — with a written report and photos delivered by email.

Radon testing

Radon is common in Central Ohio and you can't see or smell it. We can run a radon test with your inspection so you have the numbers before you close.

Termite / wood-destroying insect report

A separate wood-destroying insect (termite) report can be arranged with your inspection — often required by lenders.

Water testing

On a well or just want to know what's coming out of the tap? We can collect a water sample at your inspection and send it to an outside lab.

What's inspected

A standard inspection covers

A home inspection is a visual inspection of readily accessible areas on the day of the inspection. It is not a code inspection, an appraisal, or a warranty. Items like wells, septic systems, pools, and environmental testing beyond radon are outside a standard inspection — ask and we'll point you to the right specialist.

How it works

Simple from start to finish

  1. Book online or call

    Pick a time online, or call or text with the address and your inspection deadline. We'll confirm by phone.

  2. Agreement & invoice

    Sign the pre-inspection agreement right here online, and pay the invoice we email you.

  3. The inspection & walkthrough

    Plan on a few hours. Come toward the end and I'll walk you through what I found. You're welcome to stop by earlier and look around, too.

  4. Your report

    A written report with photos, emailed to you. Start with the General Summary — it lists the items that matter most.

The signed agreement is due before the inspection begins. Payment is due no later than the time of the inspection.

About

Kenneth Jackson, licensed Ohio home inspector

The Inspection Connection is a family business based in Galloway, just west of Columbus. I'm a licensed Ohio home inspector and I also own and manage rental property in Central Ohio — so I look at a house the way an owner does, not just the way a checklist does.

I inspect to the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and the State of Ohio standards, and I write reports in plain English: what the issue is, why it matters, and what to do about it. If something needs a specialist, I'll say so.
