Services
Home Inspections
Our comprehensive home inspections examine all major systems including structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. We use thermal imaging to detect hidden issues and provide detailed reports with photographic documentation. Clients receive clear explanations of findings and repair recommendations to support informed purchasing decisions.
Sewer Scopes
Sewer scope inspections utilize advanced camera technology to evaluate underground sewer lines. This diagnostic process identifies cracks, blockages, or root intrusion in piping systems. Our inspectors provide real-time video analysis and written documentation of pipe condition to prevent future plumbing emergencies.
Infrared Inspections
Infrared technology detects temperature variations in building materials to identify moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies. Our Level 1 certified thermographers produce detailed thermal maps that reveal hidden structural issues not visible during standard inspections.
Radon Testing
Professional radon testing uses continuous monitoring devices to measure radon gas levels in residential properties. We follow EPA protocols for 48-hour testing periods and provide clear results with mitigation recommendations when elevated levels are detected.
Commercial Inspections
Tailored commercial property assessments evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, and regulatory compliance for business properties. Our reports include maintenance cost projections and life expectancy analysis for major building components to support commercial real estate transactions.

Heartland Home Inspections is my go to place for home inspections. Hank is very thorough at what he does and he explains things to you in layman's terms. He saved me from buying a supposedly total rehab that just had a cosmetic fixed. I truly appreciate the work that he does.

As a first time homeowner, I really appreciated how Hank took the time to explain everything to me, and he went above and beyond checking everything possible in the condo. He even recommended service providers and explained why I should or shouldnt care about x, y, or z. Would definitely recommend him and Heartland Home Inspections to anyone!

Hank was very helpful when we planned to sell our house and in buying our new house. Hank did an inspection on our existing house and pointed out a number of items for us to handled. Once we we put it up for sale and the buyers inspector came, they had very few items that asked us to fix up. Also when inspecting our new construction house he pointed out a few things that we brought up with our builder. Hank was very professional and really educated us on a number of things that has helped us continue to keep our house in tip top shape.
