Trusted Expert Witness Testimony for Property Disputes

At Inspection Professionals, most of our work involves buyers and sellers who need an independent evaluation of a property’s condition. But sometimes a home inspection reveals — or fails to reveal — issues that lead to legal action. Construction defects, contractor negligence, undisclosed damage and insurance disputes all create situations where a court needs a qualified expert to examine the property, document the facts and provide testimony. With 30+ years and more than 15,000 inspections behind us, our team brings the field experience and professional credibility that attorneys and courts demand.

Perhaps a contractor performed substandard work that caused water damage or structural compromise. Maybe a seller failed to disclose a known defect. Whatever the specific legal situation, there are times when a plaintiff or defendant needs the support of an experienced property inspector who can clearly explain technical findings to a judge and jury. Our inspectors have provided expert testimony in construction-defect cases, insurance claim disputes and real-estate litigation across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

If there is a claim that subpar work was done on a property or that a contractor’s actions damaged a major system or component, we have the expertise to examine the property, document every relevant finding with photographs and deliver a clear, defensible report.

Putting Our Expertise to Work for You

If you are pursuing or defending a lawsuit, there is typically a great deal at stake. When it comes to expert testimony on construction and property matters, you need someone whose qualifications and track record can withstand cross-examination. That is exactly what Inspection Professionals delivers.

This is where our 30+ years in the residential and commercial property inspection field becomes your greatest advantage.

With over 15,000 inspections under our belt, we get to the bottom of any property issue and document it thoroughly for your court case.

Perhaps a contractor installing a new bathroom failed to waterproof the shower properly, causing hidden water damage. Or maybe a roofer used substandard materials that led to premature failure. These are exactly the kinds of defects our inspectors identify, photograph and explain in detailed reports that stand up in depositions and at trial.

Our inspectors — Tom Southwell, Steven Hunn and Casey Gates — are ASHI members, licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We serve attorneys and homeowners throughout Bucks County, Montgomery County, Philadelphia, Delaware County, South Jersey and Delaware. Contact us or call (215) 947-1000 to discuss your case.

My fiancé and I had our first ever home inspection done by Inspection Professionals and from the very start it was a positive experience. Scheduling was easy and whoever I spoke with on the phone was very friendly and walked me through the scheduling process. We had Casey for the inspection and he was AMAZING, very informative explaining everything to us in detail and really took his time to make sure he covered everything with us. He got up on multiple roofs and in the crawl space and everything! Thank you Casey!!

My home inspection went so smoothly with Inspection Professionals. I wasn’t able to be there in person but with the help of my realtor, I was able to hop on a FaceTime call and be present during the whole inspection that way. The service was quick, efficient, and my inspector was very well versed on all the questions I had. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends and family!
