Along the Nolichucky River and the Appalachian Trail, Erwin is a mountain town with a strong sense of community. Brian Tankersley inspects Erwin homes with care.
Erwin, the Unicoi County seat, sits in a mountain valley along the Nolichucky River, with the Appalachian Trail passing nearby and the Unicoi County Apple Festival drawing crowds every fall. It's a close-knit community with older homes in town, mountain properties on steep lots, and newer homes in the surrounding valleys. Certified Home Inspection LLC, owned and operated by Brian Tankersley, State of Tennessee Certified Real Estate Inspector (License #1277), serves home buyers and sellers throughout Erwin and Unicoi County.
Erwin was hit hard by the Nolichucky River flooding during Hurricane Helene in 2024, and many homes have since been repaired or rebuilt. For buyers, that makes a thorough inspection especially important. Brian looks carefully for signs of past water intrusion, moisture in crawl spaces, and the quality of repairs, along with grading and drainage on sloped mountain lots. Every inspection includes a detailed report with photos, delivered the same day.
Radon is found in homes throughout East Tennessee, so radon testing is worth adding to any Erwin inspection. Rural properties served by private wells or septic systems may call for additional evaluation, and Brian can talk you through your options during a free consultation. Brian walks you through every finding in plain language. Call or text 423-360-7203 to schedule your Erwin inspection.
