Why Work With Cuyahoga Valley Inspections?
We provide reliable, in-depth home inspections for homeowners and buyers in Lorain and the surrounding area. Our inspections cover all the essentials—roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and foundation—so you have a complete understanding of the home. More than just handing you a report, we walk you through our findings and answer your questions clearly and honestly.
Radon Testing in Lorain
Radon can affect homes throughout Northern Ohio, and Lorain properties are no exception. Since this invisible, odorless gas can build up indoors and pose long-term health risks, testing is the only way to know if your home is safe. We use precise, professional testing methods to provide accurate results. Radon testing can be done as part of your inspection or on its own.
Mold & Indoor Air Quality Testing
The proximity to Lake Erie and Ohio’s humid climate can lead to moisture issues in basements, crawlspaces, and attics. Over time, this can result in mold growth and air quality concerns. Our testing identifies mold spores and hidden problem areas so you’ll know if your home’s air is healthy. If we find an issue, we’ll explain what steps can be taken to fix it.
Sewer Scope Inspections
Many Lorain homes still rely on older sewer lines that may be vulnerable to cracks, shifting, or root intrusion. With a sewer scope inspection, we use a camera to evaluate the main sewer line and spot problems before they turn into major repairs. This inspection is especially valuable for older properties or homes showing signs of drainage issues.

What to Expect from Your Inspection
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Cuyahoga Valley Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.
After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference. In addition, our home inspections include complementary floorplans.
