Reliable Home Inspection Service

Reliable Home Inspection Service is a home inspector in Pike Creek, DE. The company has been family owned and operated since 1993, serving homeowners across Delaware and into nearby communities in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Their services include full home inspections, new construction inspections such as pre-drywall, final, and 11th month warranty inspections, and post-purchase inspections for home buyers. They also provide radon testing, radon mitigation, mold testing, and lead-based paint testing. The team consists of ASHI-certified home inspectors and DEP-licensed radon technicians who live in the neighborhoods they inspect. Inspectors are background checked, attend educational classes regularly, and adhere to the American Society of Home Inspectors standards of practice and code of ethics.

Reports are computer-generated and delivered on-site, typically the same day, highlighting safety concerns and maintenance recommendations. The company offers 24-7 availability for scheduling and customer service. Inspectors have specific local knowledge, such as identifying moisture-related wood rot in coastal Sussex County, spotting improper flashing on town-home roofs in northern New Castle, and understanding how radon tends to accumulate in Pennsylvania basements. They also note common framing oversights by newer builders in Wilmington and known structural issues in certain Newark neighborhoods.

With more than three decades of hands-on experience, the company provides thorough, photo-illustrated reports that outline the condition of the structure, foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC. Their approach emphasizes direct communication with knowledgeable professionals who can answer questions in plain language and explain what to expect during the inspection.
