Southwest Genesee County inspection file
Chad Fisher comes from a family of builders, and that is how he looks at a house. As a home inspector in Swartz Creek since 1997, Fisher Home Inspections checks every major system, from the roof to the electrical panel, and includes thermal imaging on every residential inspection.
Swartz Creek is a quick trip down I-69 from our Flint base. If you searched home inspector near me from a subdivision off Miller Road, we can be there soon.
Chad's grandfather built custom homes for more than 65 years, and there is still a general contractor in the family. Chad has been in the trades since he could say hammer. That background changes an inspection. He knows how a house is supposed to go together, so he notices when it didn't.
For a buyer, that means findings explained the way a builder would explain them, with a sense of what is cosmetic and what is structural.
We inspect the roof, attic, framing, foundation, electrical service and wiring, plumbing supply and drains, water heater, furnace, air conditioning, windows, doors, decks and grading. Any home inspector in Swartz Creek should cover that list. Our full home inspection covers all of it, and the report puts safety items and big-ticket repairs at the top.
A lot of Swartz Creek's housing went up in the last few decades, in subdivisions spreading toward Gaines and Mundy townships. These homes are now old enough that original roofs, furnaces and water heaters are wearing out, and settled grading starts sending water toward the foundation. We flag what is near replacement so you can plan or negotiate.
Thermal imaging is standard with us. On a newer home, it shows insulation gaps the builder missed and duct leaks into ceilings. On an older one, it finds hidden moisture and hot electrical connections. Either way, it is part of the inspection, not an extra line on the invoice.
New homes are still going up around Swartz Creek. We do construction draw inspections for lenders, confirming work is complete before the next payment is released. For buyers of a finished new build, a home inspection before closing is still smart. New does not mean perfect.
Finished basements are popular in Swartz Creek, and radon collects in the lowest living space. We set up radon testing during the inspection and handle the results ourselves, so there is no second company to coordinate.
The creek the city is named for winds through town, and homes on lower lots nearby can see more groundwater. We check basements and crawlspaces for staining, efflorescence and sump performance. If something points to a hidden problem, we can add mold testing on the same visit.
Homes on larger lots in the surrounding townships often run on septic. Our septic inspection service checks the tank and drain field so you are not inheriting a failing system. Well water testing is available on the same trip.
Businesses along Miller Road and near the Morrish Road exit off I-69 change hands too, and our commercial building inspection covers them. For homeowners, we follow up the report with preventive maintenance pointers. Hiring a home inspector in Swartz Creek from us means help after the inspection, not just during it.
