From a standard buyer's inspection to new construction phases, environmental testing and specialty diagnostics — one licensed, certified inspector for homes across Nashville and Middle Tennessee.
Home Inspections by SP&D provides residential home inspections, new construction inspections, environmental testing, specialty inspections and focused system evaluations across Nashville and every community within 60 miles. Every service is performed personally by Mark Schumacher — Tennessee-licensed, InterNACHI certified and backed by more than 40 years in construction.
Below you'll find our six core service areas. Explore any of them to see the individual inspections and tests included — and call to schedule or bundle services into a single visit.
A complete visual inspection of the home you're buying — roof, structure, systems and interior — for single-family houses, condos and townhomes, mobile and manufactured homes, multi-unit properties and VA-financed purchases.
The inspection period is your best chance to learn about a home's condition before you're committed to it. Mark's report gives you the facts you need to negotiate repairs, adjust your offer or walk away with confidence — and he's there to explain every finding.
Independent inspections of newly built homes at the stages that matter most — before the walls are closed, before you close, and before your builder's one-year warranty runs out.
Even the best builders juggle many subcontractors and tight schedules, and mistakes get covered up fast. With four decades in construction, Mark knows what to look for at every phase, so issues get documented while the builder is still responsible for fixing them.
Testing for the hidden hazards a walk-through can't reveal — radon gas, mold growth and airborne spores, indoor air quality, drinking water and private wells, asbestos and lead-based paint.
Middle Tennessee has areas with elevated radon levels, and older homes may contain asbestos or lead paint. Moisture problems can feed mold that affects your family's health. Testing gives you real numbers instead of guesses before you buy or while you live in the home.
Advanced tools and focused inspections that go beyond a standard walk-through — infrared thermal imaging, sewer line camera scopes, moisture and leak detection, and wood-destroying insect (termite) inspections.
Some of a home's most expensive problems are hidden behind walls, under slabs or underground. A cracked sewer line, a slow leak or active termites can cost thousands. These services find trouble early, while there's still time to negotiate or repair.
Detailed, focused inspections of a home's major components — the roof and exterior, foundation and structure, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, the crawl space, and the attic and insulation.
Sometimes you need a closer look at one part of the house — a roof that looks tired, a crack in the foundation, an aging furnace. Mark's construction background means he understands how each system should be built and how it fails, so you know what you're dealing with.
Inspections and advice for every stage of owning property — pre-listing inspections for sellers, investor and rental property inspections, maintenance inspections for current homeowners, pre-purchase consultations and follow-up re-inspections.
Sellers who know their home's condition up front avoid surprises that derail a sale. Investors protect their returns, and homeowners catch small problems before they turn into big repair bills. Re-inspections confirm that negotiated repairs were actually completed.
