About us

Welcome! Whether you are purchasing your first home, dream home, vacation house or anything in between, let us help put your troubles at ease. Buying a home can be a stressful time as a lot of things happen so quickly. Our job as your home inspector is to remove some of the concern and anxiety of purchasing a home and replacing it with knowledge. There are many components to a home and we will do our level best to inform you on the current condition of your home and potential hazards or expenses that may occur in the near future. Following the latest Standards of Practice (SOP) guidelines and official inspection form put in place by TREC, continuing our education through standards set in place by NACHI.org, and utilizing tools and technology far above the industry standard, you can be sure you are receiving a quality inspection. With a General Home Inspection, the structure is evaluated thoroughly from roof to foundation and everything inbetween. The foundation is tested utilizing a level capable of detecting elevation differences as small as one-eighth inch throughout the slab surface or finished floor surface. Many aspects within the home are then inspected utilizing a Flir Thermal Imaging camera which far surpasses the industry standard. These tools coupled with a good working knowledge of construction practices leads to a thorough and concise inspection report that we believe you will be more than impressed with. At that point we are still availabe for any questions you may have because we do not disappear when you receive your report! We service the greater DFW area and have flexible scheduling six days a week. We are looking forward to doing business with you. 1st Alarm Inspection is owned and operated by an off duty firefighter and is a small, focused business. As well as being trained through AHIT (American Home Inspector Training) and licensed through TREC, there are over 12 years experience in general contracting and over 10 years as a structural firefighter to add to the experience. 1st Alarm Inspection carries insurance above industry standards and is bonded. We are located in Mansfield, Texas and proudly serve the greater DFW area. WDI (termite inspections) can be subcontracted out upon request.

Very professional. Arrived on time (before me actually) for home inspection. Thoroughly inspected the home and took the time to explain his findings. A home inspection can be overwhelming for a first-time homebuyer, but Chris made the experience as comfortable as could be. I'd definitely refer him to family and friends and I look forward to working with him again on our next purchase.

Inspector was quick to respond and prompt on inspection day. As a Realtor I often recommend this inspector because of their professionalism and the quality of their inspections. As a real estate investor, this is the first call I make after entering a contract to make a purchase. The inspection report provided has helped negotiate repairs and, in some cases, a reduction in the purchase price. Having a knowledgable inspector is very important and hands down this inspector has been the most reliable in every way.
Description of Work: Home inspection for purchase.
