Thorough general home inspections and nationally certified radon testing for buyers and sellers across Northeast Tennessee — with a clear, photo-filled report the same day.
At its heart, Certified Home Inspection LLC does one thing exceptionally well: thorough general home inspections, performed personally by Brian Tankersley and explained in plain language. Paired with nationally certified radon testing, that's what most Northeast Tennessee home buyers and sellers need.
That same full inspection can be tailored for sellers, new construction, 11-month builder's warranties, and manufactured homes, and Brian also offers focused four-point, foundation, and HUD inspections. Explore each service below, or call for a free consultation.
A complete, top-to-bottom inspection of the home's visible and accessible systems and components — from the roof and attic to the foundation — performed personally by Brian, a State of Tennessee Certified Real Estate Inspector (License #1277). You're welcome to walk along, and you'll receive a detailed report with photographs the same day.
A home can look perfect on a showing and still hide a failing roof, a plumbing leak, or an electrical hazard. A thorough inspection gives you the facts while you still have time to negotiate, ask for repairs, or walk away. Brian's reports clearly separate routine maintenance from the items that deserve a closer look — without the scare tactics.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps up from the ground into homes. It has no color, odor, or taste, so a test is the only way to know your home's level. Brian provides nationally certified radon testing, and it can be added to any home inspection.
The EPA identifies radon as the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and recommends testing every home. Elevated levels have been found in homes throughout East Tennessee. The EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher, and testing during your inspection window lets you address it before closing.
Pre-listing, new construction, 11-month warranty, and manufactured home inspections are all Brian's full general home inspection — performed for a seller, timed for a new build, or adapted to a different type of home.
Brian's full home inspection, ordered by the seller before the home goes on the market. You get the same detailed, same-day report a buyer's inspector would produce — just on your schedule instead of theirs.
Surprises found during a buyer's inspection can lead to last-minute renegotiation or a lost sale. Knowing your home's condition up front lets you make repairs on your terms, price the home accurately, and give buyers confidence from the first showing.
An independent inspection of a newly built home, either before you move in or just before the builder's first-year warranty ends. It's Brian's full home inspection, focused on catching defects while the builder is still responsible for them.
Even brand-new homes have defects, and builders' own walkthroughs aren't independent. One of Brian's clients reported that their building supervisor called his report one of the better ones he'd seen. An 11-month inspection documents problems before warranty coverage runs out, so the builder pays to fix them — not you.
Brian's full home inspection, adapted for how manufactured homes are built and set — with extra attention to the support system, the underbelly, and the plumbing and ductwork beneath the floor.
Manufactured homes depend on their piers, tie-downs, and skirting, and many of their most important components are underneath the home, out of sight. A thorough inspection finds those problems before you buy.
Targeted inspections for specific needs. A four-point inspection reviews the four core systems many insurers ask about. A foundation inspection assesses structural concerns and signs of shifting. A HUD inspection verifies a property meets HUD safety and sanitary requirements.
Sometimes you don't need a full home inspection — you need a specific answer for an insurer, a lender, or a structural concern. These focused inspections give you the documentation and clear findings you need, from the same certified inspector.
