About Us
Welcome to Discover Home Inspections!
Our story is built on passion, expertise, and a commitment to raising the standards of property inspection. With a background in wood science, plumbing, electrical work, and house flipping, we understand the complexities of homes and have faced the same concerns you have.
We know the disappointment when hidden issues dim the excitement of a potential dream home. Our personal experiences drive our mission to transform the property market, creating a transparent and trustworthy environment for every transaction. That’s why we inspect every home as if we were buying it ourselves.
At Discover Home Inspections, we prioritize professionalism and accuracy. Our inspectors are certified and receive ongoing training to stay up-to-date with the latest standards and practices in the industry. This ensures we provide the most reliable and comprehensive assessments.
Home inspections are not yet widely practiced in South Africa, and we aim to change that. Recognizing their value in countries like the UK and the US, we strive to bridge the gap and normalize this essential service in South Africa.
With our services, we empower you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed property decisions, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
