Kent Home Inspection Services
Home Inspections in Kent, OH
Kent’s housing stock ranges from classic homes near downtown and campus neighborhoods to modern builds in surrounding areas. Whether you’re buying your first home, preparing to sell, or keeping up with regular maintenance, a detailed home inspection gives you the knowledge you need to make smart decisions and avoid unexpected costs.
Why Choose Cuyahoga Valley Inspections?
We provide professional home inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Kent. Our inspections cover all major systems—roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical—so nothing important gets overlooked. More than just a checklist, we explain our findings, answer your questions, and give you a clear understanding of your home’s condition.
Radon Testing in Kent
Radon gas is a concern throughout Portage County, including Kent. Since radon is invisible and odorless, testing is the only way to know if it’s present in your home. We use accurate, professional testing equipment to measure levels and let you know if mitigation may be needed. Radon testing can be added to your inspection or scheduled as a separate service.
Mold & Indoor Air Quality Testing
With Ohio’s humid summers and damp winters, mold can develop in basements, attics, or anywhere moisture collects. Our mold and indoor air quality testing checks for visible and airborne spores to ensure your home’s environment is safe. If mold is detected, we’ll provide clear next steps so you know how to address it.
Sewer Scope Inspections
Many Kent homes, especially those built decades ago, may still have aging sewer lines that can crack, shift, or clog over time. A sewer scope uses a specialized camera to examine the main line and identify potential issues before they turn into costly repairs. We recommend this inspection for any older property or if there are signs of plumbing concerns.
Living in Kent
Kent is known for its vibrant mix of college-town energy and small-city charm. With Kent State University at its heart, the city offers music, art, dining, and cultural events year-round.

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.
