"Established brick homes, first-time buyers, and rental properties on San Antonio's east side: Daniel Windler brings a Master Plumber's eye and 35 years in the trades to every Kirby inspection."
Kirby is a friendly, affordable city on San Antonio's east side, just outside Loop 410 with quick access to I-10 and the rest of the metro. Its neighborhoods are made up largely of brick single-family homes built from the 1960s onward, with established yards, community parks, and a strong sense of neighborhood. That combination of value and location makes Kirby popular with first-time buyers, growing families, military households, and investors looking for solid rental homes. ATD Property Inspections, owned and operated by Daniel Windler, a TREC Licensed Professional Inspector (#21665) and licensed Master Plumber, serves buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners throughout Kirby.
Foundations deserve special attention on the east side. Some of the most expansive clay soils in the San Antonio area lie east of the city, and they swell in wet weather and shrink hard in drought. Over decades, that movement can show up as cracked brick and drywall, doors that won't latch, sloping floors, and stress on plumbing lines beneath the slab. Daniel evaluates the signs of movement and the drainage conditions that drive it, and he can add a foundation elevation survey to put measured numbers behind what you see.
Homes of this age also tend to have systems approaching replacement: roofs on their second or third layer of life, air conditioners working hard through long Texas summers, and water heaters and drain lines that have been in service for years. For first-time buyers, Daniel explains what's urgent and what can wait. For investors, he organizes findings around repair costs and tenant safety. Either way, you get clear answers in plain language, with no unnecessary alarm and no sales pressure.

Answers to the most common questions Kirby homeowners ask before scheduling a property inspection.
Foundation movement is common across the east side because of highly expansive clay soils. Not every crack is serious. Daniel evaluates the pattern of movement and the drainage around the home, and recommends a structural engineer when the findings call for one.
It's a measured floor-level map of the home that shows high and low areas of the slab. It adds hard numbers to a foundation evaluation and creates a baseline for tracking movement over time.
