Many of the home inspectors working in the Middle Tennessee area are unlicensed, uninsured, or unqualified to inspect your home…

By choosing just any inspector, you could end up purchasing a “nightmare”.
Your home is a big investment… Why take the risk of hiring an unqualified or inexperienced home inspector?
Buying a home can be nerve wracking and scary… and yet buying a home is exciting too…
Buying A Home Is Probably The Largest Purchase You’ll Ever Make…
And you’re excited about your new home. Everything seems to be right about this home. It’s the right location, the right floor plan, the right look and feel…
You believe that the investment you’re about to make is a sound investment…
But how do you know for sure? You’ve heard the saying ‘looks can be deceiving’. Could your house be hiding something that you’re not prepared for? Is there an unexpected problem waiting to pop up once you get into the home?
Almost every house has issues. The question isn’t whether the home you’re buying has issues or not… the question is… what are the issues and how big are those issues?
The answer to that will help you to know if the home you’re buying really is a sound investment…
Or whether the house has major repairs that are needed or soon will be… and whether or not the home has safety issues that could impact the health and well-being of your family…
Radon is Rampant In Tennessee
Unfortunately, all of Middle Tennessee is in the EPA’s Highest Radon Zones. Not many people, including most Real Estate Professionals, are aware of this issue.
Radon gas is a toxic gas that seeps into homes through the foundations. And it doesn’t matter if your home is built on a basement, crawlspace or a slab, this deadly gas can seep in and it doesn’t matter if it’s brand new construction or a 50 year old home.
It’s estimated that Radon Gas kills 24,000 Americans each and every year. As a matter of fact, Radon Gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, only second to cigarette smoking.
The good news is that Radon Gas can be detected with a simple test and if the home you’re purchasing has elevated levels of Radon Gas, it can be easily fixed. The key to the issue is Getting A Radon Test.
Then you know if the problem exists and if so, to what degree.
Please know that I personally would not live in a home in Middle Tennessee that had not been tested for Radon Gas!
The way to know whether the home you’re buying has any of these issues or many other potential issues is to hire a professional home inspector. But…
How Do You Choose A Home Inspector?
The best way to find a good home inspector is to ask the right questions…
Many inspectors conducting home inspections in the Middle Tennessee area are brand new to the business. They’re offering low prices because they are desperately trying to get your business. And many home inspectors in this area are unlicensed, uninsured, or unqualified to inspect your home.
That’s just what you want to hear, more nerve-racking stuff.
You’re ready to make the largest purchase that you’ll ever make and now you find out that you could be purchasing a nightmare because of an unlicensed, unqualified, uninsured, home inspector.
Does that scare you? It should.

How soon will you update your blog? I’m interested in reading some more information on this issue.
Sorry if this is a little off topic but this is for Ted at his request: Anyone entering the home inspection field should be trained in the unique discipline of home inspection. Assuming that the home inspector has been properly trained and has sufficient experience, they should be able to provide a satisfactory detailed inspection of a property within the scope of their education and any home inspector licensing requirements. Where licensing or certification is not a requirement, anyone can claim to be a home inspector, and there are no laws to prevent them from doing so. Basically watch your butt!—————————You’re welcome.

Bill and Kimpy,
Thank you for your thorough and professional inspection. We learned a lot about our soon to be purchased home and based upon your report were able to ask for needed repairs before we closed. Having a home inspection gave us a better understanding of what we were buying and peace of mind about issues that we had noticed. We were pleased with your work and would recommend your services.
thanks again,
Scott and Meghan
I highly recommend Ultra Sound Home Inspections when purchasing a home. Bill and Kimpy’s knowledge, detail, communication, and reporting are best in class. I am thankful for the time and care they took during the inspection. The report, in addition to their on-site review, is extensive and well put together with facts, photos, and recommendations. I appreciate Bill and Kimpy’s help.

Bill and Kimpy,
Thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful home inspection experience. You were both so thorough, and we appreciated the time you took making sure everything was good to go on our new house. It was so helpful to be able to see the pictures at the end of the inspection with all the things you found, and then to have the report emailed to us the same day. You were not only professional, but very personable and friendly as well. We will definitely recommend you to anyone in need of your services. Thank you again!

Bill and Kimpy – thanks so much for the inspection last week on the Berry’s Chapel Court house…your flexibility to do the inspection last minute was a deal saver for us! I was so impressed with the thoroughness of the inspection and your great explanation of the issues that need to be addressed in the home. It is such a relief to work with people who truly love what they do and provide great service and superior product. I was equally impressed with the emailed report and have been able to forward to all my family who will, unbeknownst to them, be helping on this project!
Thanks again…this was money well spent in my book!

Good morning Bill & Kimpy,
My husband and I wanted to thank you for such a thorough inspection that you made of our home. Not only did you thoroughly explain anything that you saw but you also provided pictures of anything that you felt may be an issue either now or down the road. We will definitely recommend you to our friends that may be buying a home in the future.
Thank you again!

Bill and Kempy of Ultra Sound Home Inspections came highly recommended by a contractor friend. Aside from providing thorough expert services, they were a pleasure to work with and spent time explaining all details of their findings in am understandable and helpful way and answering all my questions. The digital slide presentation was an added bonus in helping me truly understand their findings and the implications for me, the home buyer.
I can certainly recommend the services provided by these experts.
