About us

If you are buying a residential or commercial property and need to know the condition of the property, it is important to check out the credentials of the inspector you are considering. Is the inspector well trained? Does he stay current with continuing education? Does he have a passion for his work and a commitment to high ethical and professional standards? While there are some good inspectors out there, why wouldn't you want the best inspector you can find? Bill Loden is the only inspector at Insight Home Inspection and we encourage you to check out his credentials before you go any further. Here are some highlights: Nationally recognized home inspection expert and was the 2014 National President of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Bill was recently featured in an ABC Nightline Special Report on new home construction titled "New Home Heartbreak." (Nov. 2016) Other publications who have used Bill Loden as an expert include Consumer Reports, Bob Villa, New York Times, Wall Street Journal. Bill has a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction from Miss. St. Over the years he has worked extensively at both the state and national level to raise the standards for professional home inspectors. Bill currently works as a consultant with the Alabama Building Commission to review complaints against home inspectors. At the national level Bill has been heavily involved with the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) since 2003 serving in various capacities including chairing the Ethics Committee, serving on the Board of Directors and serving as national President in 2014. Bill has also worked as an expert for the Examination Board of Professional Home Inspectors (EBPHI) to define and write test questions for the National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE) This is the licensing exam for the State of Alabama and 24 other states. Bottom Line: If you can find a home inspector with stronger credentials in North Alabama, hire them.

Description of Work: Performed a pre-purchase home inspection. Provided a nice written report with pictures. Identified a few issues that needed to be addressed, but missed a very serious problem with the siding on the rear exterior of the house.

Response from Insight Home Inspection LLC
Upon reviewing the report for this Angie's List client I find there are a few issues that should be clarified. First, the "nice report with pictures" was 28 pages long with a 3 page summary of the items that needed attention. My average report is about 21 pages long. The report details 22 individual problems, consisting of 8 minor repairs, 4 issues that needed further evaluation, 1 major repair, and 9 safety hazards that if not addressed could lead to injury or death I also noted significant condensate issues in the crawl space along with signs of water entry and damage to the wood floor structure at the rear of the house that I stated was from a leak in the hardboard siding around the chimney. Because the wood was dry I stated it was possible the leaks had been repaired but the area needed to be monitored. In addition, I documented that the siding was in contact with the ground at the rear of the house and that this could lead to problems if not addressed. Those were the only issues with the siding along the rear of the house that were visible at the time of the inspection. It should also be noted that the client believes the inspection was carried out on April 3, 2012 when it was actually performed on August 1, 2012. This leads me to believe that the client may have lost his report and doesn't remember that I documented these issues in the report. Though I have no idea what serious problem has occurred in regard to the siding in the 23 months since my inspection, it is important to note that I can't predict future failures that are not visible at the time of the inspection.
