From a full general home inspection to specialized Radon testing and Foundation Certifications for manufactured homes — Rock Solid covers everything East Tennessee buyers, sellers, and homeowners need.
Every home is different, and every inspection should be too. At Rock Solid Home Inspections, Adam Boggess brings Certified Master Inspector credentials, 20 years of inspection experience, and 23+ years of hands-on construction background to every service we offer — so you get the complete picture of your property, every time.
The general home inspection is a complete, top-to-bottom evaluation of a home's structure, systems, and safety. It's the service Rock Solid performs most often — and the foundation of every confident home purchase across East Tennessee.
Buying a home is probably the largest and most exciting investment you will ever make. A thorough general inspection removes the emotion from the decision and replaces it with facts — the true condition of the roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and every other system. You walk away knowing exactly what you're buying.
Radon testing is a professional measurement of the radon gas levels inside a home using advanced digital radon test equipment. Rock Solid uses the Breeze continuous radon monitor — delivering fast, reliable, accurate results that real estate transactions and health-conscious homeowners can trust.
East Tennessee's geology produces some of the higher indoor radon risks in the country. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. You cannot see it, smell it, or taste it — the only way to know your home's levels is to test. Rock Solid recommends radon testing on every home purchase.
A Foundation Certification is a professionally-documented inspection confirming that a manufactured home's foundation meets HUD standards and lender requirements. Rock Solid is proud to offer Foundation Certifications for Manufactured Homes across East Tennessee — trusted, certified, and reliable when you need them most.
Foundation Certifications are typically required for FHA, VA, and USDA loans on manufactured homes — and are often needed during real estate transactions for peace of mind. Whether you're buying, selling, or refinancing a manufactured home, a lender-ready certification from a credentialed inspector keeps your closing on track.
A structural inspection is a detailed evaluation of a home's foundation and supporting elements — identifying cracks, settling, bowing beams, compromised joists, and any signs of structural concern that could threaten the safety or value of the property.
Structural issues are among the most expensive problems a home can have — and they rarely fix themselves. Catching foundation movement, load-bearing concerns, or settlement early can save tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs and protect you from buying a home with hidden structural problems.
A thorough roof assessment including the covering condition, flashing, chimneys, dormers, pitch areas, gutters, and drainage — all inspected for performance, remaining life, and potential concerns.
East Tennessee roofs take a beating. Heavy summer storms, winter ice, hail, wind, and year-round UV exposure all shorten a roof's life. A professional roof inspection tells you exactly how much life is left on the covering, whether past repairs were done right, and what to expect in the years ahead — before you sign the paperwork.
A thorough evaluation of the area beneath a home — basement or crawlspace — to identify moisture issues, foundation concerns, insulation problems, ventilation failures, pest activity, and structural concerns that a surface-level inspection may miss entirely.
Basements and crawlspaces are where some of the most expensive problems quietly live. Rotted joists, failing piers, mold, moisture intrusion, broken vapor barriers, and termite damage all happen out of sight — until they start affecting the floor above. Adam's 23+ years in construction means he knows exactly where to look and what to look for below.
A mold inspection is a visual and moisture-based assessment of a home to identify mold-prone conditions, existing growth, and the water intrusion pathways that allow mold to thrive. Rock Solid identifies problem areas and advises on prevention for East Tennessee's humid climate.
East Tennessee's humid summers and older housing stock make mold a real concern. Mold is a health hazard, a structural risk, and a potential deal-breaker on a home purchase. Whether you're buying, selling, or troubleshooting a musty smell, a professional mold inspection gives you the answers you need — and a path forward.
A septic inspection is a professional evaluation of a home's septic system — the tank, the drain field, distribution lines, and supporting components — to confirm the system is operating properly and has reasonable service life remaining.
Across rural East Tennessee, a properly operating septic system is absolutely vital — and a failing one is one of the most expensive surprises a new homeowner can face. Replacement costs can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Rock Solid evaluates the system before it becomes your costly problem.
A Builder Warranty Inspection is a detailed pre-expiration evaluation performed near the end of your builder's one-year warranty period. Rock Solid creates a thorough punch-list of items to present to your contractor — documented, photographed, and organized — before the warranty expires.
Once the warranty window closes, every repair is on you. A Builder Warranty Inspection catches the items your builder is still responsible for — from settling cracks to faulty finishes to systems that aren't performing as they should. Catching these issues during the warranty period can save you thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket repairs.
