Meet Your Inspector

I am a mechanical engineer and home builder turned home inspector. My background as an engineer mixed with my experience owning a home building and remodeling company has made me uniquely qualified to begin offering home inspection services. I am InterNACHI certified to provide home inspections in the State of Utah as well as Idaho and Wyoming. I am also CCPIA trained in commercial inspections. I use the latest tools and software to provide clients with reports in a timely manner. I also offer in-house professional radon testing, sewer scopes, and meth testing.

Residential Inspections

Our residential home inspections are comprehensive and thorough, covering all aspects of your home, from the foundation to the roof. We will inspect the structural integrity of your home, as well as the major systems and components, such as the electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and roofing systems. We will also inspect the interior and exterior of your home for any signs of damage or defects.

Commercial Inspections

Our commercial inspections are designed to meet the unique needs of commercial property owners and buyers. We will inspect the structural integrity of your building, as well as the major systems and components, such as the electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and fire alarm systems. We will also inspect the interior and exterior of your building for any signs of damage or defects.

Sewer Scope Inspections

Sewer scope inspections are a non-invasive way to inspect the interior of your sewer line for any damage or blockage. We recommend sewer scope inspections for all homeowners, especially those who are purchasing an older home.

Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause lung cancer. It is estimated that one in five homes in the United States has elevated radon levels. We offer radon testing services to help you determine if your home has a radon problem.

Mold Testing

Mold can cause a variety of health problems, including allergies, respiratory infections, and asthma attacks. We offer mold testing services to help you determine if your home has a mold problem.

Meth Testing

Methamphetamine, also known as meth, is a dangerous drug that can leave behind toxic residue in homes where it has been manufactured or used. We offer meth testing services to help you determine if your home has been contaminated with meth.

The Best Modern Report in the Industry​

While Olympus Home Inspections encourages our clients to walk through the home with us, we understand that you may be too busy, and may not have time to do so.

Regardless of whether or not you attend the inspection, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, which includes all of the information you need to determine the condition of the home.

We will deliver our report within 24 hours of the conclusion of your home inspection, so that you can quickly access a full overview of our findings – and discuss them with us and your agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. Home inspections are designed to protect the buyer, by revealing problems they might not have noticed otherwise.

Our home inspections start at $300. The cost will vary based on the square footage of the home, the age of the home, and location of the home. Call, text, or email us for a quote today!

Home inspections generally take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration of a home inspection depends on many factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the ability to access certain areas of the home (roof, crawl space, attic, etc.).

Although it is not necessary, we do recommend that you attend the inspection so you can ask questions and learn more about the home. You will learn a lot from the inspection report, but we always encourage you to attend!
It is important to note that no house is perfect. At the end of the home inspection process, we will provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property, with images and videos highlighting what may need repair or replacement. The information provided is to allow a potential buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward with the transaction. It is not pass or fail.
