Meet Your Inspector
Michael Wilson
With over 30 years of hands-on construction experience and as a Certified Master Inspector®, I’ve seen the hidden issues that can cost homeowners thousands after closing.
My background in construction allows me to recognize structural concerns, installation defects, and system problems that less experienced inspectors may overlook. Every inspection is performed with the goal of giving you clear, honest information about the true condition of the home.
Commander And Chief Home Inspection is committed to helping buyers move forward with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.
✅ Detailed, easy-to-read inspection reports
✅ Same-day reports available in most cases
✅ Sewer scope, radon testing, and advanced services
✅ Experience and integrity you can trust
Your home purchase is too important to rely on guesswork. Choose an inspector with real construction experience on your side.
What We Inspect and Why
Before you buy a home, you deserve to know exactly what you’re walking into. A professional home inspection can uncover hidden problems that may cost thousands after closing.
Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. A professional home inspection helps reveal the true condition of the property before you commit.
At Commander And Chief Home Inspection, we perform a thorough visual evaluation of the home’s major systems and structural components including the roof, attic, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundation, and more.
With over 30+ years of hands-on construction experience, we understand how homes are built and where problems are most likely to develop. That real-world knowledge allows us to identify issues that may not be visible to the untrained eye from minor maintenance concerns to significant safety or structural defects.
That’s why Commander And Chief Home Inspection is committed to giving you the knowledge and confidence you need before moving forward with your purchase.

Sewer Scope Inspection
Hidden Sewer Problems Can Cost Thousands
Many homebuyers never think about the sewer line when purchasing a home. Unfortunately, sewer problems are often hidden underground and cannot be seen during a standard home inspection.
A damaged sewer line can lead to sewage backups, major plumbing issues, and repairs that can easily cost $10,000 or more.
A sewer scope inspection uses a specialized camera to inspect the main sewer line from the home to the city connection. This allows us to detect costly problems before you buy.
Our sewer scope inspections can reveal:
✔ Tree root intrusion
✔ Cracked or collapsed pipes
✔ Pipe sagging or “bellies”
✔ Offset pipe connections
✔ Blockages and hidden damage
At Commander And Chief Home Inspection, we provide professional sewer camera inspections and clear video evidence so you can understand exactly what’s happening inside the line.
This is why many buyers choose to add a sewer scope inspection before closing.
