Home Inspection Services in Eastern North Carolina

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, and a good inspection can save you from costly surprises down the road. Advanced Termite and Pest Control has performed more than 10,000 home inspections across Eastern North Carolina, giving buyers, sellers and homeowners the facts they need to move forward with confidence.

Every inspection comes with a full digital report within 24 hours, complete with photos, video and the HomeGauge Create Request List tool. We’re a family-owned company, and we take the time to walk you through what we found so nothing gets lost in translation.

Why Choose Us for Your Home Inspection

A lot of inspection companies rush through the job and hand you a generic report. We do it differently. Our inspectors are also trained in pest control, so we catch what other inspectors miss, like moisture damage in crawl spaces, wood-destroying insect activity and drainage problems that lead to bigger trouble later.

Every job includes a free drone roof inspection, so you get a clear look at the roof without anyone climbing up there. When we’re done, we sit down with you, go over everything we found and answer every question you have.

  • 10,000+ inspections completed across Eastern NC

  • 24-hour report delivery with photos and video

What Every Inspection Includes

Free drone roof inspection

Our FAA-certified drone pilots capture high-resolution photos of the roof, so you see its condition and any problems without anyone climbing up there.

Infrared scanning

An infrared scan comes with every inspection at no extra cost, to help us spot problems the eye can miss.

Moisture meter readings

We check for moisture with a meter, so damp framing, leaks and crawl space problems make it into your report.

Report within 24 hours

Your full digital report arrives within 24 hours, with detailed findings, photos and video for every part of the home.

Repair request list

HomeGauge’s Create Request List lets you pick findings and build your repair request right from the report, on your computer, phone or tablet.

Pest control know-how

Our inspectors know pest control, so wood-destroying insect activity and the conditions that invite it don’t slip by. Add a termite (WDI) report and save $30.

Additional Inspection Services

Beyond the standard buyer’s inspection, here’s everything else we inspect and test for.

Pre-listing inspection

Selling? Have your home inspected before you list it. You’ll get the chance to fix problems that might otherwise be overlooked and make negotiations with buyers harder.

Sellers get a wood-destroying insect report at no extra charge with a pre-listing inspection.

Pre-drywall inspection

This one happens after the framing, plumbing, electrical and HVAC rough-ins are done but before the drywall goes up. It checks that the house is being built safely, to the approved plans and to code, and it catches problems while they’re still cheap to fix.

Performed to the Inspector Nation Standard of Practice for Pre-Drywall Home Inspections.

11th month warranty inspection

Bought a new home? Your builder likely gave you a limited one-year warranty. We inspect while it’s still active to find defects that have shown up since closing, so you can ask the builder to cover the repairs.

Why order one

New construction inspection

Call us before the builder’s final walkthrough. We inspect the finished structure and the installed mechanical systems and tell you what we find, so problems get fixed before they become your repair bills.

Home maintenance inspection

Keeping up with a home is easier with a plan. We inspect for existing maintenance issues, then give you advice on handling them so your home stays in good condition.

4-point inspection

Many home insurers want to see the condition of four key systems, the roof, plumbing, electrical and HVAC, before they’ll write a policy. Our 4-point report should satisfy most major insurers.

About the 4-point inspection

Re-inspections

If your repair requests were granted, call us once the work is done. We’ll come back to the property and confirm the repairs were made, so you can move forward without loose ends.

For buyers only. One re-inspection per property, before the buyer takes possession.

Commercial property inspection

Available for most light commercial properties, from small business spaces to restaurants and warehouses. We go over the building’s strengths and weaknesses so you aren’t blindsided after closing.

Mold inspection and sampling

We inspect for possible microbial growth, high humidity and water intrusion, check the humidity in each room and take an air quality sample from your HVAC system. Based on what we see, we take swab or tape lift samples and send them to EMSL Analytical.

Our inspectors are Inspector Nation Certified Mold Inspection Specialists and follow its Standard of Practice for Mold Inspection and Testing.

Radon testing

You can’t see or smell radon without special equipment. We measure the radon levels inside the home with a state-of-the-art radon monitor, so you know whether mitigation is needed.

Performed to the Inspector Nation Standard of Practice for Radon Measuring and Testing. IN Radon Inspection Specialist Proficiency Certification No. CRS02987.

Radon in the home

Moisture control and remediation

Hot summers and high humidity make high wood moisture common in Eastern NC. We control and monitor it with vapor barriers, foundation venting or crawl space encapsulation with a dehumidifier, which makes your home more energy efficient and helps prevent mold.

Crawl space moisture control

Termite (WDI) report

Many lenders require a wood-destroying insect report before closing. Ours is $30 off when you book it with your home inspection.

Termite inspection reports

General pest control

Our pest control is built around your home. We assess your property, find current or potential pest problems and set up a treatment plan for long-term protection, with minimal disruption.
