Work directly with an inspector licensed in Texas and Oklahoma for full home inspections and the specialized add-ons that reveal a home's hidden problems — sewer scope, septic, termite, pool, and FAA-certified aerial drone — across Sherman, Denison, and all of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
Whether you're buying, selling, building, or maintaining a property, having accurate and reliable information is critical. Ivy League Home Inspections delivers thorough inspections from an inspector licensed in both Texas (TREC #25341) and Oklahoma (#70002742), using tools and methods that meet and even exceed both states' Standards of Practice. Every client receives a detailed, easy-to-understand report — usually within 24 hours.
Beyond the full home inspection, Dawson performs the specialized add-ons that matter most in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma — sewer scope, septic, termite/WDI, pool, pier & beam, sprinkler, gas, and FAA-certified aerial drone photography. See the pricing page for current fees.
A sewer scope inspection sends a specialized video camera down the home's main sewer line to see the inside of the pipe that carries waste away from the house. Dawson runs the camera from an accessible access point and records the condition of the line all the way to its connection.
The sewer line is one of the most expensive systems in a home to repair — and it's completely hidden underground. A scope reveals blockages, root intrusion, cracks, separations, and low spots ("bellies") before you buy, so a five-figure surprise doesn't land on you after closing. It's one of the smartest add-ons a buyer can request.
A septic inspection evaluates the on-site wastewater system — the tank, its accessible components, and how the system is handling flow — and reports on its condition and function. It's essential for the many homes across our area that aren't connected to city sewer.
A failing septic system is costly to repair and disruptive to live with. Knowing how the system is performing before you buy — rather than discovering a problem months later — protects your budget and your peace of mind. It's a must for country and acreage properties throughout North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
A complete, top-to-bottom evaluation of the home's major systems and components — from the roofline to the foundation. Whether you're buying (pre-purchase) or selling (pre-list), Dawson evaluates the whole home and documents what he finds.
A home is likely the largest purchase you'll ever make. A thorough inspection gives you an objective, expert picture of the property's true condition — so you can negotiate, plan repairs, and move forward with confidence instead of guessing.
A wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection checks the home for termites and other wood-destroying pests, along with evidence of prior damage and the conditions that invite infestation. It's offered right alongside your home inspection for convenience.
Termite damage is often invisible until it's severe — and expensive. Catching active infestation or conducive conditions early protects one of your home's most important assets: its structure. Many lenders require a WDI report as part of the loan, too.
A pool and spa inspection evaluates the visible and accessible equipment, structure, and safety features of a residential pool or spa, and reports on its overall condition.
Pool equipment and structural repairs can be surprisingly costly. Knowing the condition of the pump, filter, surfaces, and safety features before you buy helps you understand exactly what you're taking on — and what may need attention down the road.
As an FAA-certified Remote Pilot, Dawson uses a drone to safely capture close, detailed photos of the roof and other hard-to-reach exterior areas — especially valuable on steep, high, or fragile roofs where walking isn't safe or possible.
Some of the most important parts of a home are the hardest to see. Drone photography gives you a clear, close look at the roof, chimney, and upper exterior — documentation you can actually see, captured at a very reasonable rate.
