FOR MICHIGAN HOMEOWNERS

Know What You're Buying or Living In

Independent environmental testing and property inspections for Michigan homeowners. We test — we don't remediate — so our findings are never influenced by what comes next.

Why Lakepointe

The Testing-Only Difference

Most inspection companies also sell remediation services — or have referral relationships with contractors who do. We don't. Our only product is an accurate report.

Testing Only — No Conflicts

We test. We don't remediate. That means our findings are never influenced by the remediation work that follows. You get an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.

Thermal Imaging Included

Every property inspection includes infrared scanning at no extra charge. Most inspection companies charge $150–$300 extra for this. We include it because it makes the inspection more accurate.

Certified Professionals

InterNACHI, IAC2, and IICRC certified inspectors. Our certifications reflect ongoing education and adherence to professional standards — not just a one-time credential.

Fast Report Delivery

Written reports with photographs delivered within 24–48 hours. When you're working against a contingency deadline, turnaround time matters.

Clear, Actionable Reports

Reports written in plain language with photos and prioritized recommendations. You'll understand what we found and what it means — without needing a technical background.

Serving Since 2016

Ten years of inspections across Metro Detroit, Macomb County, Oakland County, and Wayne County. We know the housing stock, the common issues, and what to look for.

Common Questions

Homeowner FAQ

Do I really need an inspection if the home looks fine?

Yes. The most significant deficiencies — moisture intrusion, electrical hazards, HVAC failures, and environmental hazards like radon and asbestos — are often invisible to the naked eye. A visual inspection of a well-staged home tells you very little about what's behind the walls, under the floors, or in the mechanical systems. The inspection is not about what the home looks like. It's about what it is.

What's the difference between a home inspection and environmental testing?

A home inspection is a visual assessment of the structure and systems — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and foundation. Environmental testing is laboratory analysis of specific hazards: mold spores in the air, radon gas levels, asbestos in building materials, or lead in paint. They're complementary services, not substitutes. Many buyers do both.

Can I be present during the inspection?

Yes, and we encourage it. Being present allows you to ask questions in real time and understand the findings in context. You'll learn more about the property in two hours than you would from reading the report alone.

How quickly can you schedule an inspection?

Appointments are typically available within 2–3 business days. If you're working against a tight contingency deadline, call us directly at 586-330-0100 and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.

What happens if the inspection finds problems?

That's the point of the inspection. Findings give you options: negotiate repairs or a price reduction, request credits at closing, require the seller to remediate before closing, or — in cases of serious undisclosed deficiencies — walk away. An inspection without findings is still valuable because it documents the condition of the property at the time of purchase.
