We inspect properties throughout Macomb County and the surrounding Metro Detroit communities. Being local is not a marketing line here — it determines how quickly we can be on site when a homeowner smells something in the basement or a buyer needs an answer before a closing date.
Macomb County
Our primary service area, covering:
- Sterling Heights — extensive 1960s–80s subdivisions with finished basements; condensation and foundation seepage are the recurring findings.
- Warren — older housing stock with original drainage; grading and downspout issues drive much of what we find.
- Clinton Township — a wide mix of eras, including newer construction where tight building envelopes trap interior humidity.
- Shelby Township — larger newer homes, often with substantial finished lower levels that conceal moisture until it is well established.
- Macomb Township — rapid recent development; sump systems and high water tables come up frequently.
- St. Clair Shores — lakeside humidity and older basements, a combination that produces condensation problems without any leak.
- Roseville, Eastpointe, Fraser — established neighborhoods where aging plumbing and original roofing are common sources.
- Chesterfield, New Baltimore, Harrison Township — proximity to Lake St. Clair raises ambient humidity year-round.
- Utica, Washington Township, Romeo, Armada, Richmond, Ray Township, Bruce Township — including rural properties with well systems, crawlspaces, and outbuildings.
Surrounding Metro Detroit
We also serve neighboring communities in Oakland and Wayne counties, including Troy, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, Madison Heights, Ferndale, Grosse Pointe, Harper Woods, and the surrounding areas. If you are near the county line, ask — we likely cover you.
What We Inspect
- Single-family homes — the majority of our work.
- Condominiums and townhomes, including shared-wall moisture issues that involve an association.
- Rental properties, where independent documentation matters to both landlord and tenant.
- Multi-family buildings and small apartment properties.
- Commercial spaces — offices, retail, and light industrial.
- Pre-purchase and pre-listing inspections on any of the above.
Why Local Knowledge Changes the Inspection
Housing stock in this region has patterns, and knowing them means looking in the right places first.
A 1970s Sterling Heights ranch with a finished basement has a predictable set of vulnerabilities — block foundation, original perimeter drainage, a bathroom fan that vents into the attic. A 2015 build in Macomb Township has an entirely different set — a tight envelope, high water table, and a sump system doing more work than the builder anticipated. A lakeside St. Clair Shores home fights ambient humidity that has nothing to do with any defect.
Two decades of inspecting in this specific climate — freeze-thaw cycling, ice damming, spring melt, humid summers — means we are not learning your building type on your dime.
Response Times
We respond to inspection requests within 24 hours, and can typically schedule within a few business days across Macomb County. Urgent situations — an active water event, a closing deadline, a tenant health complaint — are prioritized, and same-week appointments are usually available.
Lab results and your written report follow within 24 hours of analysis completing. Expedited processing is available when a transaction requires it.
Not Sure If We Cover You?
Our boundaries are practical rather than rigid. If you are in or near Macomb County — or anywhere in the Metro Detroit area — submit a request and we will confirm quickly. If a property falls outside our range, we will tell you plainly rather than pad a drive time into the invoice.
