Buying a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions you’ll ever make. It’s exciting — but also nerve-wracking — especially when you start wondering what’s hiding behind the walls, under the floors, or on top of the roof. That’s where a trusted home inspector makes all the difference.
Across West Tennessee, from Jackson to Martin, Bolivar to Somerville, more homebuyers are turning to Upchurch Inspection for reliable, thorough, and honest inspections. Our clients know that we don’t just check boxes — we explain what we see, why it matters, and how to move forward with confidence.
A Local Inspector Who Understands West Tennessee Homes
Every region has its quirks, and West Tennessee is no exception. Our area has humid summers, clay-heavy soils, and a mix of new subdivisions and century-old farmhouses. A home inspector who understands those conditions can spot problems others might miss — from foundation movement caused by swelling clay to moisture buildup in crawl spaces or improperly vented attics.
At Upchurch Inspection, I’ve spent years inspecting homes in Madison, Weakley, Fayette, Hardeman, Tipton, and Shelby Counties. That local experience matters because no two parts of Tennessee are exactly alike. What’s typical in a Memphis bungalow may be a red flag in a Martin ranch home.
Inspections That Go Beyond the Basics
A home inspection shouldn’t be rushed, and it shouldn’t be vague. My goal is always to deliver a detailed, photo-documented report that explains what’s happening in plain language. Clients often tell me that what sets Upchurch Inspection apart is how much they learn during the process.
Every inspection includes a full evaluation of the home’s structure, roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and interior. But I don’t stop there. I also offer specialized inspections that most buyers won’t find bundled elsewhere in the region:
- Mold Testing – Indoor air samples and surface swabs to identify potential mold or moisture issues.
- Water Testing – Ensures the home’s water supply is safe for use, especially for private wells.
- Radon Testing – Detects harmful gas that can enter through foundations, even in Tennessee homes.
- Sewer Scope Inspections – A camera-based look inside underground drain lines, revealing clogs, roots, or damage.
- 11-Month Warranty Inspections – For homeowners approaching the end of their builder warranty, to catch issues before coverage expires.
Each service adds another layer of protection for your investment — and gives you real information, not speculation.
Trusted by Home Buyers, Homeowners, and Agents
One of the greatest compliments I receive is when a buyer calls me back a year later — not because something went wrong, but because they want me to inspect the home they’re buying next. That repeat trust means more than any advertisement ever could.
Real estate agents across West Tennessee also appreciate how Upchurch Inspection operates: detailed reports, clear communication, and no alarmism. I don’t exaggerate problems — I explain them, prioritize them, and give everyone the information needed to move forward with confidence.
Helping You See the Whole Picture
A home inspection is about more than finding defects. It’s about understanding the condition of a home. My clients walk away knowing which issues are urgent, which can wait, and which are just normal parts of home ownership.
That clarity helps buyers negotiate fairly, homeowners plan repairs responsibly, and agents guide their clients without unnecessary stress.
