Work directly with a Certified Master Inspector for thorough residential and commercial inspections plus specialized testing — mold & air quality, radon, thermal imaging, and sewer scope — across Southern Middle Tennessee and North Alabama.
Whether you're buying, selling, building, or maintaining a property, accurate information is everything. Lighthouse Home & Property Inspection Services delivers thorough inspections from Lane Ragsdale, a Certified Master Inspector (CMI®) licensed in Tennessee and Alabama. Every inspection is documented with photos and delivered in a clear, color-coded report that separates the major concerns from the minor ones — no confusing jargon.
From full buyer's and commercial inspections to specialized mold, radon, thermal imaging, and sewer-scope testing, Lighthouse covers everything you need through a single point of contact.
A complete, top-to-bottom evaluation of the home you're buying — crawlspace, structure, roof, attic, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and more — documented with photos in a clear, color-coded report.
Buying a home is one of the largest investments you'll ever make. A buyer's inspection tells you exactly what you're getting — what's solid, what needs attention, and what could become an expensive surprise — before you close.
The same thorough inspection a buyer would order — done for the seller first, before the home goes on the market.
When you know what a buyer's inspector will find before they find it, you're in control. You can make repairs on your own terms, price the home accurately, and avoid last-minute surprises that stall or sink a deal.
Independent inspections at the key stages of a new build — foundation / pre-pour (before any cement is poured), pre-drywall (before the walls close up), pre-close / final walk-through (before you close on the home and move in), and the 11-month builder warranty inspection before your warranty expires.
Even brand-new homes have defects and unfinished work. Independent inspections catch those issues while they're still the builder's responsibility — including that critical warranty check before your coverage runs out.
A thorough evaluation of commercial and investment properties — structure, roof, systems, and safety — with clear, well-organized documentation.
A commercial purchase is a major business decision. A detailed inspection gives you the facts to negotiate, budget, and move forward with confidence — before the money changes hands.
Mold inspection and indoor air-quality testing (IAC2 Certified) that identify mold growth and the airborne conditions affecting the health of everyone in the home.
Mold and poor air quality can cause real health problems — and often point to hidden moisture behind the scenes. Testing tells you what you and your family are breathing before you commit to a home.
Certified radon testing that measures levels of this invisible, naturally occurring radioactive gas inside the home.
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and you can't see or smell it. Testing is the only way to know a home's level — and much of the region sits in elevated-radon country.
Infrared thermal-imaging scans that reveal what the naked eye can't — hidden moisture, electrical hot spots, and missing or wet insulation — by detecting subtle temperature differences.
Some of the most important problems in a home are invisible on the surface. Thermal imaging adds a layer of detection that finds issues behind walls and ceilings before they turn into expensive repairs.
A camera inspection that runs a video probe through the main sewer line to reveal its true condition underground.
Sewer-line repairs are among the most expensive surprises a homeowner can face. A scope uncovers blockages, root intrusion, and damage before they become a costly emergency.
Inspection of pools, spas, and their equipment — plus detached garages, shops, and other outbuildings on the property.
The features beyond the main house carry real value and real risk. Having them inspected means no part of your investment goes unchecked before you close.
Thorough manufactured and mobile home inspections, plus access to foundation and tie-down certifications through licensed professional engineers we work with. Lighthouse collects the required on-site photos and information, and the engineer reviews the documentation and prepares the applicable report.
Your lender may request a HUD permanent foundation certification, or your insurer may require a tie-down certification. Missing documentation can delay financing or insurance approval. Lighthouse makes the process easier by coordinating the site visit and working directly with the engineer—giving you a local point of contact from scheduling through report delivery.
Home inspections and certification services can be ordered separately or together.
From your first phone call to final report delivery, here's exactly what to expect when you hire Lighthouse Home & Property Inspection Services.
