Home Inspector Olathe KS – Bulldog Inspections

Professional Home Inspector Olathe KS.

Olathe is the Shawnee word for “beautiful.”

And with award-winning schools, quick access to I-35 hwy, K-7 hwy, K-10 hwy, and a quick 30-min drive to the University of Kansas, it’s easy to see why Money Magazine ranked Olathe KS. #13 on its list of Best Small Cities in America in 2006.

It’s also home to the Kansas State School For The Deaf, The Mahaffie House, was a stop on the Oregon, Santa Fe, and California Trails, and is only 20 min. from Kansas City.

But, before you go and change the locks, don’t forget to call a Crown home inspection company and order a thorough home inspection to ensure your new Olathe KS. home doesn’t end up making you want to feel the English word for “regret.”

#1 We check all toilets North-to-South, AND East-to-West.

On average, over 50% of a home’s toilets are loose, which isn’t simply an inconvenience — it can cause costly damage.

An unsteady toilet can compromise the wax ring at its base, enabling water to leak into the subfloor. Left unchecked, this can result in mold, wood rot, and distorted floor covering. Loose bolts can worsen the problem, increasing the risk of leaks and additional damage.

That’s why we conduct a comprehensive inspection, pushing each toilet both East-West and North-South to detect any looseness, damage, and leakage that a single shift might overlook.

#3 We explain the results in plain English.

We keep it straightforward.

We know house inspections can feel stressful. That’s why we explain everything in a way that makes sense.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an accomplished real estate investor, you won’t need a guide or a history in building work to keep up with the details inside our home inspection report.

There will just be simple, easy-to-read explanations that let you focus on what counts: making sure your house is right for you.

You’ll leave the inspection knowing what’s happening with your property—because information is key, and buying with confidence beats uncertainty every time.

#5 Our full home inspection checks more than 2000 items in the average home.

In 2008, we created our MaxInspect™ home inspection process. A set of best practices refined to solve the most common issues house buyers and real estate investors face with everyday house inspections:

“How did my home inspector miss this [fill in the blank]?”

Professional house inspections are as much craft as science. Honing the craft takes years of experience, which is why they are not made equal.

Here are the 3 parts to our MaxInspect™ Process:

A 100% Inspection

This may seem as a surprise, but professional house inspectors are NOT required to inspect all the items in a house.

In fact, they only have to look at a sample number of things. In the average-sized house, this often comes to roughly 400 things.

But Bulldog Professional Inspection Services inspects 100% of the items we can see, touch, and check during a house inspection

This totals about 2,000 things and includes every socket, switch, door, glass, floor, wall, ceiling, bathtub, bath, spout, toilet – and every single thing from the roof peak to the sump pump.

But being practical also shows we know HOW to check the things in your house that break, crack, tick, buzz, spark, and leak because switching them on and off occasionally isn’t enough. At times, the sequence of things shows issues that less skilled house inspectors would have missed.

We do this to provide you a full understanding of what’s working and what’s not. Unlike some home inspection companies that skim over areas, our mission is to do it right the first time and offer you the details you need to make informed decisions about your house.

So, whether you’re buying or selling your Raymore house, you’ll get a house inspection that prioritizes depth, accuracy, and clarity.

Mystery Glitch Technique

A puzzling glitch is an electrical problem that makes you scratch your head. For example, a toggle in one room operates a fan in another, or a wobbly wall plug that activates the ceiling fan when you use it.

We know houses well enough to find and uncover these pesky gremlins quickly, so you won’t be muttering under your breath after you settle in.

Gravity Flow Process

Everybody knows gravity is an unrelenting force that pulls us down and works to grind us into dust.

But we take this to our advantage by allowing it to help us locate and follow the damage caused by drips and structural shifting.

Starting from the house's roof, we move our way downward to the foundation. As we go, we follow the hints left behind until we spot the origin, cause, it stops, or it vanishes into a spot we can’t reach.

Then we’ll tell you what’s happening, how worried you should be, where we missed it, how far it went, whether we can observe damage to other areas, if there are evidence of past fixes, and what we advise.

All to reveal the full story so you know what to anticipate.

#7 If you change your mind about the home, there is no charge.

It’s not uncommon for someone to schedule the home inspection then later decide not to buy the home once it starts.

Sometimes, something feels off. Maybe it’s the layout you didn’t notice in the photos, or perhaps a family member calling out details you missed.

Whatever the reason, it’s not uncommon to reconsider such a major purchase on inspection day.

And if that happens to you, and you decide at the start that the home isn’t for you, we’ll stop the inspection.

No inspection report. No bill. No problem.

Because we believe in putting people first.

There’s enough stress in buying a home without feeling stuck or pressured into moving forward just because you scheduled the home inspection.

It’s your money and your future, and you should feel good about both.

So if the home ends up not feeling right to you, I’ll support you and assist with the next one. That’s how we do business.

Simple, clear, and always in your corner.
