HOUSTON, TX

Houston’s real estate market moves fast. Whether you’re buying inside the Loop, in the Energy Corridor, or in one of the master-planned communities on the outskirts, you need an inspector who can get there quickly, work thoroughly, and deliver a report you can actually act on the same day.

 

Derek Myhand has more than 20 years of hands-on construction experience and holds a TREC License (#26263) and InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) designation. He performs every inspection himself — no subcontractors — and provides a complete written report the same day.

 

What matters in a Houston home inspection

Houston sits on expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink during dry spells. That constant movement is the number-one cause of foundation issues across the metro. High humidity and intense summer heat also put heavy stress on HVAC systems, roofs, and moisture barriers. Older neighborhoods often have aging electrical panels, original plumbing, and roofs that are nearing the end of their service life, while newer construction can show grading, drainage, and workmanship concerns that only appear after the first year or two.

Derek inspects the accessible structure, systems, and components of the property — foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, interior, exterior, and more — with particular attention to the issues that show up most often in Houston homes.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I really need infrared in Houston? Yes — humidity and clay soils make hidden moisture a common issue. Infrared helps catch problems before they become expensive.

  • Will I get the report the same day? Yes. Derek delivers a clear, written report the same day so you can make decisions quickly.
