Old Town, REO Town and the Eastside: Lansing's Older Houses

Much of the city was built for auto workers between 1910 and 1950. Settled front porches, block and fieldstone basements, two-prong outlets, and furnaces that have been swapped three times. A Lansing home inspector sees the same patterns street after street and knows where to look first.

Our whole-house inspection runs from the footings to the roof, with infrared scans for moisture and missing insulation behind the walls.

BWL Water Service and Plumbing Inside Older Lansing Homes

The Lansing Board of Water & Light finished replacing its lead service lines back in 2016, which surprises a lot of buyers from other cities. That covers the line to the house. It does not cover what is inside.

Galvanized supply pipe, old cast iron drains and mixed repairs under the kitchen sink are still common in the older neighborhoods. We check water pressure, drainage and visible piping in every room with plumbing.

Lansing VA, FHA and USDA Loan Inspections

Plenty of capital-area buyers are first-time owners using FHA, VA or USDA financing, and rural lots around Mason and Williamston can qualify for USDA or RD loans.

We perform VA, FHA, RD, USDA, MICHDA and HUD compliant inspections, including the VA NPMA-33 wood destroying insect report, so the lender's checklist is covered.

MSU Rentals and Multi-Family Buildings in the Capital Area

Student housing around Michigan State and the older apartment buildings in Lansing proper both turn over often. Lansing and East Lansing each require rental registration, so condition problems found early cost less than ones found by the city.

Our multi-family inspections check every unit you want seen along with the shared roof, foundation, laundry and mechanical spaces.

Investor Inspection Plans for Lansing Landlords

Landlords in the capital area tend to own several single-family rentals rather than one big building. Comparing them is easier when every report reads the same way.

Set up a rental investor inspection program and each property gets the same format, so you can see which roof or furnace needs money first.

Basement Mold After Grand River and Red Cedar High Water

The Grand and the Red Cedar meet just east of downtown, and low-lying blocks near both rivers have a long history of wet basements in spring. Moisture that sits in finished basements turns into mold behind paneling and carpet.

A NAMP certified mold inspection with lift tape, swab or spore trap air samples gives you lab numbers on viable and non-viable growth.

Commercial Buildings Near the Capitol and Along Michigan Avenue

Offices near the Capitol, storefronts along Michigan Avenue, small strip centers on Saginaw Street. Lansing's commercial stock ranges from brick buildings over a century old to 1980s office boxes with tired rooftop units.

We handle commercial building inspections up to 100,000 square feet for buyers, investors and lenders.

Radon Tests and Thermal Scans for Ingham County Homes

Basements are where most capital-area families do laundry, store things and sometimes sleep. That makes air quality down there worth testing.

Thermal Scans Included at No Charge

Infrared imaging is part of every inspection and finds wet insulation, air leaks and hot electrical connections.

48-Hour Radon Test Option

An ion air exchange radon test can start the same day as your inspection.

Indoor Air Lab Work

IAQ testing with VOC and TMVOC lab analysis for newly renovated or freshly painted homes.

Sunday Inspections Available

Sundays from 9 to 3, Saturdays 8 to 5 and weekdays 8 to 8.
