We run plumbing fixtures. We check the HVAC system. We look at the outside, foundation, and easy-to-access interior. You get a digital report the same day or the next morning. It comes with photos and plain language.

Winston-Salem Housing and Radon Context
Winston-Salem has homes of many ages. Older areas like Old Salem, West End, Ardmore, and Buena Vista include historic craftsman and mid-century homes. In an older home, your inspector may see older wiring or plumbing worth a closer look. New construction keeps growing in Clemmons, Lewisville, and western Forsyth. Every home is different. We report what we find on the day.
Forsyth County sits in EPA Radon Zone 2 (moderate). That does not tell you the level at any one home. It just means testing here is worth it. Home Spectors offers short-term radon testing. The test runs at least 48 hours. It meets the EPA / AARST-MAH floor. See our radon testing page for how the test works and what the results mean.
Services Often Coordinated with Your Inspection
Buyers in Winston-Salem often ask about these add-ons:
- Termite / WDIR-100. Some lenders or loan programs may ask for a WDIR-100 report. NC law requires a W-phase-licensed person to do it. We can add this to your inspection when it fits. WDIR and termite details.
- Sewer scope. For homes with older mainlines — especially those built before 1975 — a sewer scope shows the pipe from the cleanout to the connection. Sewer scope details.
- New construction / pre-drywall. For new builds in Clemmons, Lewisville, and western Forsyth, a pre-drywall inspection catches items before drywall goes up. New-construction and pre-drywall details.
These are usually scheduled together when the timing and the property allow. Same-day work is not a guarantee on every home.
