Home Inspection in Cleveland, Ohio
Licensed, InterNACHI-certified home inspections for Cleveland home buyers, sellers, and homeowners.
Your Cleveland Home Inspector
From century homes in Tremont and Ohio City to doubles, bungalows, and new construction across the city’s neighborhoods, Cleveland has some of the most diverse housing in Northeast Ohio. Lock Home Inspections helps Cleveland buyers, sellers, and investors understand exactly what they’re buying.
We serve Cleveland and the surrounding Cuyahoga County communities with buyer’s inspections, pre-listing inspections, new construction inspections, radon testing, mold testing, and more. Evening and weekend appointments are available, and you’re always welcome to attend your inspection.
What We Look for in Cleveland Homes
Older Cleveland homes may have knob-and-tube wiring, aging electrical panels, galvanized or cast iron plumbing, deteriorated chimneys, and foundation or basement water issues. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. For two-family and rental properties, we inspect each unit and its systems.
After your inspection, you’ll receive an easy-to-read Spectora report the same day, with photos of every item we discussed, so you and your agent can move forward with confidence.
