Akron Home Inspection Services
Home Inspections in Akron, OH
Akron is full of unique homes—historic houses in Highland Square, older family homes in Firestone Park, and newer builds in surrounding suburbs. No matter the style or age, every home has things you’ll want to know about before buying, selling, or making repairs. A good home inspection gives you a clear picture of the property’s condition so there are no surprises later.
Why Work With Cuyahoga Valley Inspections?
We provide thorough, straightforward home inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners in Akron. We look at all the major parts of the home—roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling—so you have the information you need to make the right decisions. We don’t just hand you a report; we walk you through our findings and answer your questions.
Radon Testing in Akron
Many homes in the Akron area have higher radon levels due to the local soil. Radon is an odorless gas that can enter through the foundation and cause serious health problems over time. We offer reliable radon testing using professional equipment so you know if your home is safe. Testing is available on its own or as part of your home inspection.
Mold & Air Quality Testing
Moisture from Akron’s wet winters and humid summers can lead to mold—especially in basements, crawl spaces, and attics. Mold can damage your home and affect your family’s health. Our mold testing checks for hidden problems and measures airborne spores so you know exactly what’s there. If we find mold, we’ll explain your options for fixing it.
Sewer Scope Inspections
Older neighborhoods in Akron often have aging sewer lines that can crack, clog, or be invaded by tree roots. We use a camera to inspect the main sewer line and spot problems before they turn into expensive repairs. We recommend a sewer scope for any home over 20 years old or if there are signs of a possible issue.
Living in Akron
Akron offers a mix of city living and outdoor space. You’ll find art and music at places like the Akron Art Museum and Lock 3, and plenty of trails and nature in the nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

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.
