Home Inspection in Las Vegas
Buyer-focused home inspections overseen by a Certified Master Inspector® serving Las Vegas and Clark County.
A home inspection in Las Vegas is a visual check of a home's roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, and AC before you buy. At Absolute Home Inspections, Jason Henderson oversees every buyer inspection. He is one of only 12 Certified Master Inspectors® in Nevada.
You get your full report the same day.
That speed matters. The inspection period in a Nevada purchase contract is short. A same-day report gives you more time to talk with your agent and plan your next move. Drone roof images and thermal imaging come with every inspection at no extra cost.
Included in a Las Vegas Home Inspection
Every inspection covers more than 500 points, from the roof down to the foundation. We follow the InterNACHI Standards of Practice. Each finding comes with photos, video, and a plain-language note. Here is what we check on every visit.
Roof & Drone Imaging
We check the roof covering, flashing, drainage, and visible framing. Many Las Vegas homes have concrete tile roofs. Cracked or slipped tiles are hard to see from the ground. Our licensed drone operators take clear photos of areas we can't safely walk.
HVAC
AC units in the valley run for most of the year. We run the system with its normal controls and check the parts we can see. Thermal imaging helps us spot airflow and duct problems. We also note the age of the unit when its label is readable.
Foundation & Structure
We look for cracks, movement, and drainage problems at the foundation. Desert soils can shift. Early signs often show up as cracks in the stucco or slab. We note which cracks look cosmetic and which may need a structural engineer.
Electrical System
We open the main panel and check the breakers and wire sizes. We test GFCI and AFCI outlets. We also try a sample of the outlets, switches, and light fixtures in each room.
Plumbing and Water Heater
We run the faucets, measure water pressure, and check the pipes we can see for leaks. Las Vegas has hard water. We look closely at the water heater, shut-off valves, and fixtures for mineral wear.
Exterior, Interior, Attic, & Garage
We also check the stucco, windows, doors, walls, ceilings, attic, and garage. Thermal imaging helps us find hidden moisture and gaps in insulation behind walls and ceilings.
What to Expect
Here is how your inspection works, from booking to closing:
-
Schedule. Book online or by phone as soon as your offer is accepted. Ask your agent to confirm the water, power, and gas are on, and that we can access the attic, electrical panel, and water heater.
-
Inspect. Most inspections take two to four hours. Our team checks the roof, structure, systems, and interior with a drone and a thermal imaging camera, and records photos and video of every finding.
-
Walkthrough. Join us at the end of the inspection for a 15-30 minute walk-and-talk. We show you what we found, point out shut-off valves, and answer your questions.
-
Get your report. Your full report arrives the same day, color-coded so you can see what is urgent and what can wait.
-
Plan your next step. Use the report with your agent to ask for repairs or credits. Call us any time with questions, now or years from now.

Who We Help
Our buyer inspections are built for anyone making a decision on a Las Vegas home:
-
First-time buyers: We explain each finding in plain language. We also show you how the home works, from the main water shut-off to the breaker panel.
-
Move-up and repeat buyers: You get a clear picture of big-ticket items like the roof, AC, and water heater, so you can budget for what comes next.
-
Buyers moving to Las Vegas: Coming from a cooler climate? We point out desert-specific issues you may not know to look for. Our photo-rich report helps if you can't attend in person.
-
New-construction buyers: We inspect before closing, so the builder can fix items while you still have leverage. See our new construction inspections and 11-month warranty inspections.
-
Real estate agents: Same-day reports and color-coded summaries help keep your clients' inspection period on track. Our goal is always to inform, not scare our clients.
We inspect single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and resale homes all across the valley.
Built for Las Vegas Homes
Homes in the Las Vegas metro area face conditions a generic checklist can miss:
-
Sun and heat: UV rays age the roof underlayment faster than the tile on top.
-
Long cooling seasons: AC units and ducts wear out sooner than in milder places.
-
Desert soils: Soil movement can show up as stucco and foundation cracks.
-
Hard water: Mineral buildup shortens the life of water heaters and faucets.
-
Backyard pools: Pool and spa equipment is common and costly to fix.
An inspector who works the valley every day knows where these problems hide.
