Home Inspection Expert Witness

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.

Court-Ready Inspection Testimony

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.

30+ Years Inspecting Properties

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.

We had Casey for our home inspection prior to purchase and he was GREAT!! Kind, knowledgeable and willing to explain anything that might have looked off or concerning about the home. Casey arrived early (!) and didn’t waste any time getting to work. As always there are things in a home that need to be repaired or fixed but Casey gave us explanations and solutions that matched what came in the report later. The report was detailed based on what was assessed and contained pictures pointing to possible repairs. If there was an item of concern a description was provided and sometimes if possible a repair price was noted as well. Here’s my only note about home inspections. What is not visible they will not inspect. It is in the agreement you sign and unfortunately you can’t dismantle a home before you buy it. Now for some people not diving in deeper is a big concern but knowing the level of inspection you’re getting before you go into it is what you need to prepare for. Overall we are satisfied with our inspection and have a great contact for any home questions we might have for the future

Steve did a great job helping us with our new home. Didn't skip anything and took time to go over areas of concern that I had. Report was detailed clear and it was nice to have radon and WDI included with his services. Would use again!

Steven was able to explain the inspection process thoroughly and in a way that was not overwhelming or condescending at all. He included humor, easy ways to remember things and did a thorough and non-biased inspection. I highly recommend Inspection Professionals!

I was impressed with the service and quality delivered by my inspector. He was great, providing extremely helpful insight, and thorough detail throughout the inspection and in the final report. The deliverables were turned around the same day. The value was well worth the reasonable price and provided the piece of mind needed. Would highly recommended.

We had a wonderful experience with Inspection Professionals. Throughout the whole inspection, Steve checked in with us to explain several of the findings in real time. He was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. The results of the inspection highlighted several extremely necessary things that needed repair. These findings were a major part of our post inspection negotiation. I would not hesitate to use Steve again.
