Our Comprehensive Home Inspection Services in Wayne County
We offer a full suite of home inspection services designed to cover every aspect of your property, from the roofline to the slab.
Standard Home Inspection
Our certified home inspection is a comprehensive visual evaluation of all major systems and components of your property. Delivered on-site via a web-based inspection report with photos and detailed comments, your report is ready before our inspector leaves the property, with no waiting days for answers.
What our Wayne County home inspection covers:
Exterior Inspection
The roof, chimney, gutters, downspouts, siding, trim, foundation, windows, exterior doors, landings, walkways, and driveway are evaluated for condition, safety, and performance.
Interior Inspection
Attic insulation, ventilation, roof decking, walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, kitchen and laundry appliances, fireplaces, and foundations are checked for signs of moisture, settling, and wear.
Electrical Systems
The main service entry, panel boxes, all visible wiring, light fixtures, ceiling fans, vent fans, switches, outlets, and GFCI-protected outlets are inspected to current safety standards.
Plumbing Systems
Water heater, venting, supply lines, drain lines, vent pipes, sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, flow pressure, and hose faucets are tested for function, leaks, and code compliance.
HVAC Systems
Heating unit, venting, air-conditioning unit, filter cabinet, supply and return ductwork, and room registers were operated and evaluated for efficiency and safety.
Inspection duration: Most Wayne County home inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on property size and age. We welcome you to attend and ask questions throughout.
Specialty Inspection Services Available in Wayne County
In addition to our standard inspection, Elevate Inspection Group offers a complete menu of specialty inspection services available as stand-alone bookings or bundled with your home inspection for savings.
Sewer Scope Inspection
Wayne County’s older neighborhoods, especially in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Dearborn, frequently have aging clay or cast-iron sewer lines. A sewer scope inspection uses on-site video to check for root intrusion, blockages, dips, or cracks in the main line before they become major repair costs.
Radon Testing
40% of Michigan homes test positive for elevated radon levels, a colorless, odorless gas that is the number 1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. We recommend radon testing for every property in Wayne County.
Mold Inspection
Michigan’s humidity and Wayne County’s aging housing stock create ideal conditions for mold growth. Toxic and allergenic molds can develop within 48 hours of a moisture event. Our mold inspection services identify issues quickly so you can act fast.
Pest & Termite Inspection
Some lenders require this inspection before closing. We report on termites and other wood-destroying insects (WDI) that threaten the structural integrity of your Wayne County property.
Thermal Imaging
Our thermal imaging cameras detect heat signatures that reveal hidden moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, electrical hot spots, and HVAC inefficiencies that are invisible to the naked eye.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
We test for allergens, pollutants, VOCs, and other airborne contaminants, which are critical for families with young children or anyone with respiratory conditions.
Water & Bacteria Testing
Whether your Wayne County home is on city water or a private well, we test your water supply for bacteria, contaminants, and compliance with safety standards.
Drone Roof Imaging
Wayne County winters are tough on roofs. Our drone roof imaging captures clear aerial photos of damage, missing shingles, flashing failures, and hard-to-reach areas safely and accurately.

Why Wayne County Homebuyers & Sellers Need a Professional Home Inspection
Wayne County is one of Michigan’s most diverse real estate markets. From historic Detroit neighborhoods with century-old foundations to modern suburban developments in Plymouth and Northville, every property carries its own unique set of risks and opportunities.
A professional home inspection in Wayne County protects you by:
- Uncovering hidden defects before closing so you’re not surprised by a $15,000 furnace replacement after move-in
- Giving buyers negotiating power, documented issues create real leverage at the table
- Helping sellers price a pre-listing inspection confidently eliminates surprises that derail deals
- Satisfying lender and insurance requirements many lenders require inspections before approving certain loan types
- Providing peace of mind knowing exactly what you’re buying (or selling) removes stress from one of life’s biggest transactions
Wayne County’s older housing stock, combined with Michigan’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles, means that foundation movement, water intrusion, aging electrical panels, and worn HVAC systems are among the most common issues. Our inspectors know exactly where to look.
