Buying or selling a home in St. Louis is a major financial decision. A professional home inspection gives you the facts about a property’s condition before you commit.
ORF Home Inspections provides thorough, reliable home inspection services across St. Louis and the surrounding areas. We examine every major system in the home so you know exactly what you are getting.
A home inspection in St. Louis needs to account for the specific challenges properties face in this region. Older neighborhoods like Soulard, Tower Grove, and Benton Park have homes built over a century ago. Newer developments in West County and South County come with their own set of concerns. We tailor every inspection to the property in front of us.
We offer a full range of inspection services to meet the needs of every client in the St. Louis area.
Our standard home inspection gives buyers a complete picture of the property. We go through every accessible area of the home and deliver a detailed report with photos and descriptions of any issues we find.
Sellers who get a pre-listing inspection before putting their home on the market gain a clear advantage. You can fix problems before buyers find them, avoid surprises during negotiations, and build trust with potential buyers from the start.
Real estate investors in St. Louis need fast, accurate information about properties. Our investor inspections focus on the big-ticket items that affect your bottom line. We help you make smart investment decisions with reliable data.
St. Louis humidity creates the perfect environment for mold growth. Our mold inspections identify visible mold, test for airborne spores, and locate moisture sources that feed mold colonies in basements, attics, and wall cavities.
Termites cause serious structural damage to St. Louis homes every year. Our termite inspections detect active infestations, past damage, and conditions that attract wood-destroying insects to your property.
Many St. Louis neighborhoods have aging sewer lines made from clay or cast iron. Our sewer scope camera inspections send a camera through the main sewer line to find cracks, root intrusion, bellies, and blockages before they turn into expensive emergencies.
Properties with private wells need regular water testing and well inspections to confirm the water is safe to drink and the system works properly. We test for bacteria, nitrates, and other contaminants common in the region.
Buying a home with a VA or FHA loan comes with specific requirements. Our VA and FHA home inspections address the concerns that matter for government-backed loans so your transaction moves forward without delays.
If the property has a pool or spa, our pool and spa inspections evaluate the equipment, surfaces, decking, fencing, and safety features to make sure everything functions correctly and meets current safety standards.
We know St. Louis homes. We understand the common problems that show up in different neighborhoods, from the brick row houses in the city to the ranch-style homes in Oakville and Mehlville. Our inspectors live and work in this area, and that local knowledge makes a real difference in the quality of your inspection.
We deliver reports quickly, usually within 24 hours. Every report includes clear photos, straightforward descriptions, and practical recommendations. We do not use confusing jargon or bury important findings in filler text. You get the information you need to make a confident decision about your home purchase or sale.

A standard home inspection in St. Louis typically costs between $300 and $500 for a single-family home. The final price depends on square footage, property age, and any additional services like mold testing, termite inspection, or a sewer scope. Call us with the property address for an exact quote.
Most home inspections take two to four hours depending on the size and age of the property. Homes with pools, outbuildings, or crawlspaces take additional time. We deliver your report within 24 hours with clear photos, detailed findings, and actionable recommendations you can share with your agent or lender right away.
Yes. We regularly find defects in new St. Louis homes including improperly installed flashing, missing insulation, plumbing leaks, and HVAC systems that were not set up correctly. City code inspections check for minimum compliance. Our inspection checks for quality and completeness across every system in the home.
We recommend both for most St. Louis properties. Many neighborhoods have aging clay sewer lines that crack or fill with tree roots. Replacing a sewer lateral costs $5,000 to $15,000. St. Louis also sits in a high-risk termite zone, and most lenders require a termite inspection for VA and FHA loans. Both services catch expensive problems before they become yours.
You can negotiate with the seller to make repairs, request a price reduction, or ask for closing credits. In some cases, the inspection reveals deal-breaking issues that save you from a bad purchase. Your real estate agent can guide you through the negotiation process based on our findings.
