What to Expect From Your Inspection

Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your home, At Ease Inspections delivers professional, high-quality service from the moment you contact us. Our lead inspector, CMI® Sammy Prato, is an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector (CMI®), the inspection industry’s top professional designation, awarded only to qualifying inspectors who have demonstrated the highest level of competency. This prestigious credential requires extensive field experience, advanced certifications, and a commitment to continuous education—ensuring every inspection is performed with the highest level of expertise and professionalism.

CMI® Sammy Prato not only conducts inspections but also personally oversees every inspection performed by our team, ensuring all inspections meet At Ease Inspections’ high standards for thoroughness, accuracy, and client care. His leadership guarantees exceptional service and attention to detail on every property we inspect.

Our team of Illinois licensed and InterNACHI Certified Inspectors is committed to ensuring you fully understand the condition of your home. We will walk through the property with you, explaining as much as you want to learn about your home’s systems, components, and any areas of concern.

While we strictly follow the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, we take pride in going above and beyond whenever possible. Our inspections often exceed industry standards, ensuring a more comprehensive evaluation and a clearer understanding of the home’s condition.

During the inspection, we will also point out the locations of essential home features and provide guidance on how to operate and maintain them.

Our inspectors will explain how to safely operate these systems, offer maintenance tips, and discuss steps to help you prevent common issues related to each feature.

At Ease Inspections also uses state-of-the-art tools and technology to provide deeper insights into your property, including drones, crawlspace inspection robots, infrared cameras, moisture meters, hygrometers, natural gas and combustion meters, electrical testers for 120V and 240V outlets, and more. These tools allow us to assess areas that are often difficult to access and identify hidden issues that may not be visible during a standard inspection.

After the Walkthrough:

Once the inspection is complete, we will:

  • Explain the overall condition of the home and its major systems.
  • Discuss significant issues that may need immediate attention.
  • Identify deferred maintenance items to monitor over time.

All findings will be clearly detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, provided in both HTML and PDF formats. This comprehensive report will highlight the areas discussed during the inspection and include high-quality images and videos for clarity and reference.

We’re Here to Put You AT EASE.
