Home Inspection in St. Louis, MO

Home Inspection in St. Louis, MO

Buying a home is one of the largest financial decisions you’ll ever make. A professional home inspection from SafeSpec gives you a complete, unbiased picture of exactly what you’re getting — before you close.

SafeSpec Home Inspections serves buyers, sellers, and investors across St. Louis City and County, St. Charles County, and Jefferson County. Every inspection is performed by Mike Hostetter, an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) with additional certification through the International Code Council (ICC) — the same standard used by municipal building departments.

What’s Included in a SafeSpec Home Inspection

A home inspection is a thorough visual evaluation of the property’s major systems and components. Every SafeSpec inspection covers:

• Roof — shingles, flashing, gutters, fascia, soffits, and drainage
• Structure — foundation, framing, crawlspace or basement conditions
• Electrical — panel, wiring, outlets, GFCI/AFCI protection, grounding
• Plumbing — supply lines, drain lines, water heater, fixtures, shutoffs
• HVAC — heating and cooling equipment, ductwork, filters, venting
• Attic — insulation, ventilation, sheathing, signs of moisture or pest activity
• Interior — walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, stairways
• Exterior — siding, grading, walkways, decks, porches, and attached structures
• Garage — structure, door operation, fire separation, electrical

What Makes SafeSpec Different

Mike brings a background most inspectors don’t have — three years as a municipal building inspector with ICC certifications. That means he’s evaluated properties against actual building codes, not just industry checklists. He knows what should have been built to code, and he knows how to find what wasn’t.

Every inspection also includes thermal imaging at no extra charge, using infrared technology to detect hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots behind walls and ceilings that a standard visual inspection would miss.
