What Milwaukee homes ask of an inspector
Milwaukee's charm is its older housing stock, and older homes reward an experienced eye. Here is where our inspectors focus in this market.
Pre-1978 homes and lead paint
A large share of Milwaukee's housing was built before the 1978 federal ban on lead-based paint. If you are buying an older home, especially with children in the picture, lead-based paint testing is a smart add-on to the inspection.
Basements and foundations
Full basements are the norm here, and they have lived through a century of freeze-thaw cycles. We evaluate foundation walls, water intrusion signs, grading, and drainage on every full home inspection.
Aging sewer laterals
Clay laterals in older neighborhoods can crack, root, and settle. A sewer scope puts a camera down the line before you close, because lateral repairs are among the most expensive surprises a buyer can inherit.
Radon and air quality
Radon occurs naturally across Southeast Wisconsin and has nothing to do with a home's age or condition. Testing during the inspection window is the only way to know a home's level, and mitigation is very fixable when caught.
All of Milwaukee County, every day
From the lakefront to the county line, our inspectors cover every community in Milwaukee County.
