Home inspections in Lewisville, TX are performed by The Smart Inspector, a locally owned Arlington-based company whose inspectors are licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission. Every Lewisville home inspection covers the foundation, roof, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and appliances, comes with complimentary thermal imaging, and includes a same-day report reviewed with you in person at the house.
What a home inspection in Lewisville, TX includes
Texas requires home inspectors to hold a TREC license and to inspect to the TREC Standards of Practice. Our Lewisville inspections meet that standard and then some; our inspectors have a reputation for being picky, and we consider that a compliment. The visit is a visual, non-invasive examination of the accessible systems, documented on the TREC report form.
- Foundation, framing, walls, ceilings, floors, doors and windows
- Roof covering, flashing, gutters and attic
- Electrical service, panels, wiring and outlets
- Heating and cooling equipment and ductwork
- Plumbing supply, drains, fixtures and water heater
- Built-in appliances
- Grading and drainage at the foundation
Pools, spas, sprinklers and outbuildings are optional systems that can be added. The full scope is explained on our page about what a home inspection covers in Texas.
Local considerations for Lewisville homes
Lewisville, in Denton County, has lake-area housing alongside established suburban neighborhoods, and the homes span a wide range of ages and foundation types. That variety is the main thing our inspectors prepare for.
Both slab and pier-and-beam foundations are found here. On a slab, we look for signs of movement in the floors, walls, doors and exterior brick, since North Texas clay soil expands and contracts with moisture. On a pier-and-beam home, the inspector also enters the crawlspace where access allows, checking piers, beams, joists, moisture and plumbing underneath the house. Tell us the foundation type when you book so we can plan the visit.
Older Lewisville homes may have cast-iron or clay drain lines, and mature trees send roots into the joints. The underground sewer line is outside the standard inspection, which is why we offer a sewer scope inspection as a $300 add-on.
Keep in mind: A Texas home inspection is not a code inspection, an appraisal or a warranty. It reports the condition of what is visible and accessible on the day of the visit.
Newer homes are covered too. Our Lewisville new construction inspection page describes pre-drywall, final-walkthrough and 11-month builder warranty inspections.
What you get from The Smart Inspector in Lewisville
Three things come with every Lewisville inspection and never carry an extra charge. First, thermal imaging: the infrared camera picks up moisture, insulation gaps and hot electrical connections that cannot be seen with the eye. Second, a same-day report: web-based, photo-rich and organized on the TREC form so your agent can act on it immediately. Third, an in-person walkthrough: your inspector explains the important findings at the property, or by phone if you cannot attend.
You also know exactly who is inspecting your home. Forest Ivey (TREC #23646), Brian Cain (#24824), Chris Hudson (#24844), Chris Sarris (#25954) and Tony Razzouk (#26582) are listed on our team page, and you can request any of them by name.

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve Lewisville and the rest of Denton County?
Yes. The Smart Inspector covers Lewisville along with Denton, Frisco and the other Denton County communities, as part of a service area that spans more than 100 communities across Dallas-Fort Worth. Our inspectors are based in Arlington and travel throughout the Metroplex daily, so a Lewisville address is routine. Use the booking form or call (817) 842-0330 to confirm a date.
How soon can you inspect a home in Lewisville?
The online booking form shows the open dates, and our office can check the schedule by phone. We encourage Lewisville buyers to book as soon as the contract is signed because the option period in Texas is short. Whichever day you choose, the report is delivered the same day as the inspection, and you can start your repair negotiations immediately.
Do you inspect pier-and-beam homes in Lewisville?
Yes. Many older Lewisville homes sit on pier-and-beam foundations, and our inspectors enter the crawlspace wherever access and conditions allow to look at piers, beams, joists, moisture and the plumbing under the floor. Slab foundations are inspected for signs of movement at the floors, walls and exterior. Note the foundation type on the booking form so the inspector arrives prepared.
Do you inspect new construction homes in Lewisville?
Yes. We inspect newly built Lewisville homes before closing at the final walkthrough stage, during construction at the pre-drywall stage, and in the eleventh month before the builder's one-year warranty expires. Each of these is a separate booking, and sample reports for all three are available on our Sample Inspections page.
