Inspection Day: What to Expect
An inspection appointment begins with a walkthrough of the property’s interior and exterior. Inspectors use a combination of digital tools, moisture meters, and visual assessments to examine each system.
Clients are encouraged to attend. This allows for real-time discussions and on-site clarification of findings. Inspectors remain available to answer questions and explain any visible concerns. Within 24 hours, a full digital report is sent via email, complete with photos, notes, and prioritized recommendations.

Local Experience That Matters
Houston’s unique housing market includes aging bungalows, modern townhomes, and sprawling suburban developments. Each property type presents different risks—soil movement, storm drainage issues, humidity-driven wear on systems, and more.
SEI Home Inspections incorporates this context into every inspection:
- Checking for signs of slab movement common in clay-heavy soils
- Monitoring attic moisture linked to Gulf Coast humidity
- Reviewing flashing and seals due to high wind exposure
- Evaluating flood zones and proper drainage placement
Local knowledge allows inspectors to identify regional issues that might be missed by out-of-area providers.
