Thorough inspections for mountain cabins, vacation rentals, and residential properties throughout Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the surrounding Smokies.
HOME INSPECTIONS IN SEVIER COUNTY
A+ Reliable Home Inspections provides independent home inspections throughout Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the surrounding Sevier County communities.
This part of East Tennessee presents some interesting inspection challenges. Alongside traditional residential neighborhoods, we inspect mountain cabins, short-term rental properties, and homes built on steep or heavily wooded sites. These properties can have unusual structural configurations, extensive decks, multiple levels, and building systems that deserve particular attention.
I’ve been inspecting homes across East Tennessee since 2012, and I take the same thorough, practical approach whether you’re purchasing a primary residence, a mountain getaway, or an investment property. You’ll receive a clear report, straightforward explanations, and the opportunity to speak directly with your inspector.
STANDARD HOME INSPECTION
A thorough inspection of the home's visible and accessible systems, including roofing, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. You'll receive a detailed same-day report with clear findings and recommendations.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
Professional air sampling to help identify elevated mold spores and other airborne particles. Samples are analyzed by an independent laboratory, with results explained in a clear, understandable report.
Termite Inspection
We inspect accessible areas for visible evidence of termites and other wood-destroying organisms, including damage and conditions that may encourage infestation. We also provide WDO documentation when needed for real estate transactions.
Pool Inspection
We evaluate the visible condition and operation of accessible swimming pool components, including pumps, filters, plumbing, pool surfaces, and related equipment. Our findings help you better understand potential maintenance and repair concerns.
Water Quality Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can accumulate inside homes without obvious warning signs. We use professional testing equipment to measure indoor radon levels and provide clear results to help you determine whether further action may be appropriate.

WHAT WE PAY ATTENTION TO IN KNOX COUNTY HOMES
Elevated Construction, Decks & Structural Supports
Mountain properties often make extensive use of elevated decks, tall support columns, retaining walls, and foundations designed to accommodate steep terrain. We pay particular attention to visible structural connections, deck attachments, support posts, bracing, and signs of movement or deterioration.
These components deserve careful evaluation, particularly when decks and outdoor living spaces are located well above the ground.
Steep Terrain, Drainage & Accessibility
Properties in the Smokies are frequently built on sloped or mountainous sites where managing runoff and maintaining stable soil conditions are especially important.
We look for drainage concerns, erosion, retaining wall conditions, foundation movement, and other visible evidence of how the property interacts with its surroundings. Steep driveways and difficult access can also create practical maintenance considerations.
Vacation Rentals, Pools & Specialized Equipment
Many cabins and investment properties in the Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg area are used as short-term rentals. Frequent guest turnover and heavy use can place additional demands on building systems and amenities.
Along with the home’s visible structural and mechanical systems, we pay attention to accessible decks, stairs, guardrails, HVAC equipment, plumbing, and other features commonly found in rental properties. Where applicable, additional services such as pool inspections and water testing can provide further information about the property.
