Home Inspection in Washtenaw County, Michigan

We inspect throughout Washtenaw County — from historic Ann Arbor neighborhoods to new construction in Saline, Chelsea, and Dexter, plus older Ypsilanti homes that need a careful eye. Plan on a 30–45 minute drive from our Farmington Hills office; we schedule Washtenaw inspections in dedicated daily blocks.

Ann Arbor's housing stock is dominated by pre-1950 historic homes in the central neighborhoods (Burns Park, Old West Side, Water Hill) and 1950s–70s ranches and split-levels in the surrounding neighborhoods (Pittsfield, Scio). Inspections in Ann Arbor frequently uncover original cast-iron drain stacks, knob-and-tube remnants, and asbestos-wrapped basement piping.

Ypsilanti and Ypsilanti Township have a mix of historic Depot Town homes, mid-century ranches, and a large rental inventory that hasn't always been well-maintained. We routinely find deferred maintenance issues, roof systems past their useful life, and moisture/grading problems in basements.

Western Washtenaw — Saline, Chelsea, Dexter, Manchester — is largely newer subdivision construction interspersed with rural farmhouse properties. Rural homes here often have private wells and septic systems, and we always recommend independent well-water testing and septic inspections through licensed providers.
