From established mid-century residences to custom estates, lakefront properties, and newly built homes, Bloomfield Township has some of Southeast Michigan’s most diverse and complex residential properties.
Total House Inspection provides thorough, professional home inspections designed to give buyers and homeowners a clear understanding of the property—from the roof and structure to the home’s major mechanical systems.
Bloomfield Township isn’t a community where one inspection approach fits every property.
Much of the Township’s established housing was developed during the postwar decades, particularly the 1950s and 1960s. At the same time, older homes have frequently been replaced or substantially renovated to create larger custom residences. Today, buyers may encounter everything from mid-century ranches and traditional brick homes to extensively remodeled properties, newer custom construction, lakefront residences, and large estate homes.
That variety makes understanding a home’s history just as important as understanding its appearance. A beautifully renovated property can still contain older infrastructure behind the finishes, while a newer custom home can have installation or construction issues of its own.
Older properties may contain several generations of electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, roofing, and remodeling work.
Grading, drainage, foundation conditions, sump systems, basement moisture, gutters, downspouts, and signs of previous water intrusion deserve particular attention.
Larger homes can mean multiple HVAC zones, more complex rooflines, additional electrical equipment, multiple fireplaces, larger plumbing systems, finished lower levels, and considerably more components to evaluate.
Bloomfield Township’s lakes, rolling terrain, mature vegetation, and larger lots can introduce different drainage, exterior, moisture, and maintenance considerations. The Township itself describes the community as having extensive rolling terrain, lakes, streams, and larger residential properties.
We look for visible evidence of how additions and remodeling interact with the original structure and systems of the home.
A beautiful new home is not automatically a defect-free home. Independent inspection can identify concerns before closing or while builder warranty coverage may still apply.
We’re not simply checking boxes. Our goal is to help you understand what is happening, how important it is and what you may need to do next.
A high-value property often justifies checking things that a normal visual home inspection cannot fully evaluate.
More square footage doesn’t simply mean more rooms.
Large and custom homes can include multiple heating and cooling systems, complex roof configurations, several electrical panels, extensive plumbing, multiple fireplaces, finished basements, outdoor living areas, pools, additional garages and numerous other components.
The inspection should reflect the complexity of the property. Our goal is not to rush through a checklist, but to give you a clear picture of the home’s visible and accessible systems and help you understand which findings deserve your attention.

“Confidence Starts with a Solid Home Inspection”
Take a look at a real sample report before you book — clear, photo-backed, and easy to read.
A typical home inspection takes about 1.2 hours per 1,000 square feet, so a 2,500-square-foot home usually takes around three hours. Larger custom homes and estate properties in Bloomfield Township may require significantly more time because they can have multiple HVAC systems, electrical panels, fireplaces, complex rooflines, finished lower levels, pools, and other additional components. The age, condition, accessibility, and additional testing requested can also affect the inspection time.
Yes. Total House Inspection performs inspections on large, custom, estate, and luxury homes throughout Bloomfield Township and Southeast Michigan. Larger properties often have more complex systems, including multiple furnaces and air-conditioning units, several electrical panels, extensive plumbing, complex roofs, finished basements, fireplaces, pools, and other features. We allow the time necessary to thoroughly evaluate the visible and accessible components of the property rather than treating every home the same.
Yes. Many established Bloomfield Township homes have been renovated, expanded, or updated over several decades. An older home may contain a combination of original construction and newer electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, insulation, or remodeling work. During the inspection, we pay close attention to the condition of the major systems, visible signs of moisture or structural movement, previous modifications, drainage, electrical safety concerns, plumbing conditions, and other issues that may be associated with an older or extensively renovated property.
A sewer scope is a valuable addition, particularly for older homes or properties with mature trees. A standard home inspection evaluates visible plumbing inside the home but cannot determine the condition of the underground main sewer line. A sewer camera inspection can identify problems such as root intrusion, damaged piping, blockages, or low areas in the line. Total House Inspection can perform the sewer scope during the same appointment as your home inspection.
Radon testing is worth considering with any home purchase because radon cannot be identified during a visual home inspection. A professional radon test measures the radon concentration inside the home and gives you objective information about the property before closing. Total House Inspection offers radon testing as an add-on to home inspections in Bloomfield Township, allowing the inspection and environmental testing to be coordinated together.
Yes. Total House Inspection can inspect lakefront homes and other waterfront properties in Bloomfield Township. In addition to the home's major systems and components, conditions such as grading, drainage, exterior moisture management, foundations, basements, retaining areas, and surrounding vegetation can deserve additional attention on waterfront properties. A standard home inspection does not include specialized evaluation of seawalls, docks, or other components outside the normal home-inspection scope unless specifically arranged.
Yes. New construction and custom homes should still receive an independent inspection. Even a newly completed property can have installation issues, incomplete work, damaged components, or items that need attention before closing. Total House Inspection offers new-construction inspections that provide an independent evaluation of the home's visible and accessible systems and components, helping buyers document concerns that may need to be addressed by the builder.
Yes. Total House Inspection offers multiple specialty inspection and testing services that can be added to a home inspection, including mold testing, water testing, pool inspections, and WDO/termite inspections. Sewer scope inspections and radon testing are also available. Combining applicable services into one appointment can make the inspection process easier and provide a more complete understanding of the property.
Yes. Your real estate agent can attend the home inspection, and many agents choose to be present for at least part of the appointment or the final review. Attendance is not required, but being present can make it easier for you and your agent to discuss significant findings with the inspector and understand the condition of the property before reviewing the completed report.
Total House Inspection provides a detailed digital inspection report with photographs and organized findings after the inspection. Reports are typically delivered by email the following day, within approximately 24 hours of the inspection. This gives the inspector time to review the photographs, observations, and comments carefully before delivering the completed report.
