Home Inspector in Pearland

If you're buying or selling a home in Pearland, you deserve an inspection you can trust. Capstone Home Inspection Services is a locally owned, InterNACHI   

certified inspection company serving Pearland and the surrounding South Houston area. Every inspection includes infrared thermal imaging at no extra charge 

— a tool most inspectors charge extra for, or don't offer at all.

Why Pearland Buyers Choose Capstone

Pearland's rapid growth means newer neighborhoods like Shadow Creek Ranch and Silverlake sit alongside older communities built in the 1970s and 80s. Newer  

Construction often has its own set of issues — builder shortcuts, improperly installed systems, and grade-related drainage problems common to flat Gulf     

Coast lots. Older homes carry a different checklist: aging HVAC systems, outdated electrical panels, and foundation settlement from Houston's expansive clay

soil. Travis Radney has inspected homes across Pearland and knows what to look for in both.

 What's Included in Every Inspection                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

  •   Full structural assessment (foundation, framing, roof)  

  •   HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems

  •   Attic and crawl space inspection

  •   Infrared thermal imaging — detects hidden moisture, missing insulation, and electrical       hot spots invisible to the naked eye

  •   Detailed report with photos delivered within 24 hours

Common Issues Found in Pearland Homes

  • Foundation movement — Pearland's expansive clay soil shrinks and swells with rainfall, especially after drought periods. Cracks in brickwork, sticking  doors, and sloped floors are early warning signs.                                                                                                       

  •  HVAC strain — Systems work overtime in humid South Texas summers. Undersized units, dirty coils, and improper refrigerant charge are frequent findings.   

  •  Attic moisture — Improper ventilation combined with high humidity creates conditions for organic growth. Thermal imaging often reveals moisture intrusion invisible from below.

  •  Drainage grading — Flat lots in subdivisions like Mary's Creek Estates require proper grading to direct water away from foundations. Improperly graded lots are a recurring issue in newer Pearland builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

 How much does a home inspection cost in Pearland?                                                                                                           

Pricing varies by square footage and age of the home. Contact Travis for a quote — most standard Pearland homes fall in the $350–$500 range. Thermal imaging

is always included.

 How soon can I get a report?

​

You'll receive your full written report with photos within 24 hours of the inspection. For most inspections, same-day delivery is available.

Does the thermal camera find organic growth?

​

Thermal imaging detects temperature differences that can indicate moisture — a necessary condition for organic growth. It does not detect organic growtch directly, but it

helps identify areas that warrant further testing.

 How long does a home inspection take?

​

Most Pearland homes take 3 to 5 hours depending on size and age. Travis prefers buyers meet with him at the property at the end of the inspection to review findings.
