Home Inspector in Terrell Hills, TX

Terrell Hills is a quiet, close-knit residential city on San Antonio's near north side, bordered by Alamo Heights and just a short drive from Fort Sam Houston. It has no commercial strip to speak of, just curving streets, generous lots, and a canopy of mature oaks. Families prize the Alamo Heights ISD schools and the small-town feel only minutes from downtown. The homes range from traditional and Colonial designs built in the 1930s through the 1950s to sprawling ranch-style houses and a growing number of custom rebuilds, many with pools, outdoor living areas, and irrigated landscapes. 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 Terrell Hills.

Established homes on big lots come with more to inspect than the house itself. There's often a pool and equipment pad, an automatic sprinkler system covering a large yard, a long run of sewer line out to the street, and sometimes a guest house or detached garage. Daniel inspects the full property, and his credentials as a licensed Master Plumber, certified pool and spa inspector, and certified backflow prevention tester let him look closely at the water systems that account for so much of an older home's upkeep.

The same oaks that give Terrell Hills its character put steady pressure on what's underground. Roots find their way into older sewer lines, and large trees draw moisture unevenly from the expansive clay soil beneath foundations, which can show up as cracked plaster, sticking doors, and uneven floors. Irrigation that sprays against the house or pools along the slab can make that uneven moisture worse. Daniel checks each of these conditions, explains which findings matter most, and does it in plain language with no unnecessary alarm and no sales pressure.
