Proudly Serving Our Military Community 🇺🇸
Military families are at the heart of what we do. Each year, over 60% of our 400+ annual inspections are performed for active-duty service members, veterans, and military families, many of whom are relocating to or from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. We understand the unique challenges of PCS moves, tight timelines, VA loan requirements, and buying a home from out of state.
As the family of an active-duty Airman currently living outside the state, we understand firsthand the stress and uncertainty that comes with purchasing a home when you can’t be there in person. Choosing a home inspector isn’t just about certifications—it’s about knowing who you’re trusting, understanding their values, and feeling confident they will advocate for your family and your investment.
At EHI Inspection Services, our work is guided by the same principles that matter most to military families: integrity, accountability, and clear communication. When you can’t walk the property yourself, we act as your eyes and ears—taking the time to explain findings, answer questions, and provide honest, detailed insight so there are no surprises.
Our inspection process is built with military clients in mind:
VA-loan–friendly inspections and reports
Fast turnaround times to support PCS schedules
Clear communication with buyers, spouses, and agents across time zones
Detailed, easy-to-understand reports you can trust
As a thank-you for your service, we proudly offer a 10% military discount to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.

We Cover All of Your Inspection Needs
Standard Home Inspection
I’ll inspect the structure, systems, and components of the house, inside and out—from the foundation to the roof—using the latest tools and technology.
I highly encourage you to attend your inspection so that I can describe my process, explain my findings, point out important maintenance items, and answer all of your questions.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
I use a state-of-the-art infrared camera to find problems that aren’t always apparent to the naked eye. An IR camera translates the heat signatures of objects into colors on a gradient scale, with higher temperatures appearing as lighter colors, and lower temperatures and wet areas appearing as darker colors.
By evaluating these images, I can detect sources of energy loss, locate areas of moisture intrusion, pinpoint dangerous hot spots in the electrical system, and uncover other problems, such as wood-destroying pests and rodent infestations, as well as flue leaks in the chimney—which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning
Pool & Spa Inspections
Your pool and spa require proper maintenance and regular inspection so that you can enjoy them for years to come. Your pool maintenance professional is only responsible for your pool’s chemistry and cleanliness. Using a comprehensive checklist, I will inspect your pool and spa for all the other items that will ensure their proper condition and function, as well as your family’s safety.
New Home Inspection
After your home is built, I will inspect it to confirm that the work was done properly and according to your specifications and contract. I will help you devise a punch list for your contractor of any missing or deficient items before you issue final payment.
Annual Maintenance Inspection
This inspection can help you understand and plan for the demands of maintaining your home properly Some tasks are seasonal, and some items require more frequent attention. Let me help you start on the path of responsible homeownership by identifying any issues and educating you about what should be done to keep your home in top condition year-round.
Investment Property Inspection
If you’re investing in a rental property or a second or vacation home, this inspection covers the same items that are evaluated in my Standard Home Inspection, and will help you budget for any necessary repairs and upgrades due to deferred maintenance, age, and other issues.
Specialized Radon Testing
and Radon Mitigation Services
EHI Inspection Services provides professional radon testing using Sun Nuclear 1028XP Continuous Radon Monitors (CRM) to deliver highly accurate, real-time radon measurements in your home. Continuous monitoring allows us to track radon level fluctuations throughout the test period, ensuring reliable and defensible results.
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas produced by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can enter a home through foundation cracks and other openings and is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
We are fully licensed by the State of Ohio as a Radon Tester (RS642) and a Radon Mitigation Contractor (RC400), allowing us not only to identify elevated radon levels but also to provide professional mitigation solutions when needed.
Radon testing is a critical component of the home buying and selling process and is strongly recommended to help protect your family’s health and support informed decision-making.
