Home Inspection Services in Gresham

• Buyer's Home Inspection — a detailed, top-to-bottom assessment of the home's roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, with a clear written report and time to walk you through every finding.

• Radon Testing — the Portland metro area, including Gresham, sits on ancient Missoula Flood deposits that can produce elevated indoor radon. Testing is the only way to know your home's level.

• Sewer Scope Inspection — many Gresham homes are 30–60 years old, prime age for root intrusion and deteriorating sewer lines. A scope now beats a $10,000+ surprise later.

• Home Maintenance Inspection — an annual check-up for homeowners who want to catch small problems before they become big ones.

• Repair Verification, Mold Inspection, Pool & Spa Inspection, and Well Water Analysis — see our full Services & Pricing page.

Every inspection includes infrared thermal scanning at the inspector's discretion, and drone roof inspection (FAA Part 107 licensed) when conditions call for it.

What We See in Gresham Homes

A large share of Gresham's housing — from the ranches and split-levels of Powell Valley and Centennial to the 1980s–90s subdivisions around Kelly Creek and Persimmon — was built between the 1960s and 1990s. Homes of that era in our climate tend to share a few recurring issues we pay close attention to:

• Crawl space moisture — most Gresham homes sit over a crawl space, and wet Pacific Northwest winters mean we routinely find standing water, damaged vapor barriers, and fungal growth down there. We actually enter and inspect the crawl space — not just shine a flashlight through the hatch.

• Aging roofs and gutters — moss and our long rainy season are hard on composition shingles.

• Original electrical panels — some panels common in 1960s–80s construction are known fire risks and worth flagging before you buy.

• Older sewer laterals — the mature trees in Gresham's older neighborhoods send roots into aging sewer lines. A sewer scope is cheap compared to what it finds.

Newer construction near Gresham Butte and Pleasant Valley gets the same scrutiny — new homes have defects too, they're just different ones.
