Local Home Inspection Experience in Corpus Christi
As the owner and inspector of Corpus Christi Home Inspections, I have personally inspected residential properties throughout Corpus Christi and the surrounding Coastal Bend. My experience includes documenting roofing and flashing deficiencies, stucco and exterior cladding concerns, drainage conditions, and issues involving electrical, plumbing, and heating and cooling systems.
Homes in Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend are exposed to high humidity, salt-laden coastal air, strong winds, heavy rainfall, soil movement, and prolonged cooling demands. These conditions can contribute to deterioration of building materials and systems. During inspections, I document observed deficiencies with photographs and clear explanations to help clients understand property conditions and determine when additional evaluation or repairs may be appropriate. Examples of conditions documented during local inspections include damaged roof flashing, deteriorated roof-ventilation components, exterior openings that may allow moisture intrusion, windows that do not close or lock properly, plumbing leaks, damaged interior components, and visible drainage or cracking concerns.

A very thorough and detailed synopsis of the inspection was given to me with pictures and diagrams to show. Correct build functions vs showing you how it was done wrong. I was able to send the whole report over to the builder and now I’m awaiting to see builder correct all issues found.
