"Hillside homes and wooded lots where San Antonio meets the Hill Country: Daniel Windler brings a Master Plumber's eye and 35 years in the trades to every Cross Mountain inspection."
Cross Mountain is an unincorporated community in northwest Bexar County, near Helotes, where the edge of San Antonio gives way to the limestone hills of the Hill Country. It offers the best of both: wooded lots, rolling terrain, and long views, with the conveniences of the city a short drive away. Homes here range from established properties on larger lots to custom homes built into the hillsides, many with pools, decks, and outdoor living areas that take advantage of the setting. ATD Property Inspections, owned and operated by Daniel Windler, a TREC Licensed Professional Inspector (#21665) and licensed Master Plumber, serves buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Cross Mountain.
Building on a hillside changes how a home performs. Water runs downhill, so grading, gutters, drainage, and retaining walls have to move it away from the foundation. Soils in this area can shift from solid limestone to clay within the same lot, which can cause uneven foundation movement. Decks and elevated areas common on sloped lots deserve a close look at their supports and connections. Daniel checks each of these carefully.
Some properties outside city service rely on private wells and septic systems, which Daniel can evaluate as a certified septic inspector and licensed Master Plumber. Heavy tree cover means leaves in gutters, limbs over the roof, and conditions that invite termites, and the area's hail and storms are hard on roofs. Daniel inspects the home and the property around it and explains every finding in plain language, with no unnecessary alarm and no sales pressure.

Answers to the most common questions Cross Mountain homeowners ask before scheduling a property inspection.
Yes. Daniel inspects visible deck supports, connections, railings, and stairs, and notes retaining walls that show leaning, cracking, or poor drainage.
It depends on the property. Check the seller's disclosure or ask your agent. If it's on septic, Daniel can inspect the system as a certified septic inspector.
On wooded Hill Country lots, it's worth considering. Hail, overhanging limbs, and clogged gutters all shorten a roof's life. A roof inspection documents condition and estimated remaining life.
