EXPERIENCE TRAINING TECHNOLOGY
Tennessee Building Inspections is a full service real estate inspection and consulting firm specializing in the inspection of residential and commercial properties. The company services all of TN and is a recognized leader in residential property inspection in the area. Tennessee Building Inspections combines a focus on customer service with the utilization of technology to provide clients with the highest quality and fastest delivery times in the market.
Our company began as Tennessee Building Inspection Services in 1989 as one of the area's first private home inspection services. Over the past 18 years we have grown by adding commercial inspections, environmental screenings, testing, diagnostics, and more recently pre-listing inspections, consulting, and thermography services. What makes us different is our rehabilitation certification and experience. We can provide our clients with corrective answers to the problems our inspectors discover. This saves time and money and gives a clearer picture of how to deal with a defect. We are Tennessee state licensed and insured for your peace of mind. Our goal is to leverage the 18 years of training and experience to inform and assist the home purchase and selling needs of our clients.
EXPERIENCE - Our company has a broad range of experience on both residential and commercial real estate. We have over 18 years of continuous service and performed over 5000 inspections, surveys and diagnostic tests.
TRAINING- The many different services we offer require continuous training on inspection and equipment techniques. We are licensed by the state of Tennessee as Home Inspectors and have been certified code inspectors of the ICC and SBCCI for 18 years. We are also members of the International Associaton of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) and the ASNT (American Society of Non Destructive Testing). Phil Henderson is the first Certified Master Inspector® in east Tennessee, a designation that requires over 1000 inspections and high standards of continuing education and ethics. It is the home inspection industry's highest level designation. Phil is also an ICC (International Code Council) Certified Housing Preservation Inspection, a designation that requires extensive education and training in the areas of building materials and construction techniques and how they are affected by deficiencies. This training gives us the unique ability to diagnose most building related problems and suggest solutions for repair and rehabilitation.
TECHNOLOGY- We have always embraced the latest in any technology that would make a significant difference in the quality of inspections we provide to our clients. Believe it or not .....there are still inspectors who possess little more than a flashlight to help them conduct a home inspection.
This is our new high resolution Infrared Imaging Camera that allows us to literally "See though walls" to see defects not found by conventional inspection methods.
