A Trusted Home Inspector Belton MO. Since 2003
Belton, MO. was originally called Nolandville and named after Captain Marcus Lindsey Belt, who not only served in the Civil War with its two founders, but also helped survey the land.
Belton has ties to the infamous Dalton gang, which owned land just southwest of town. And Carry Nation, the hatchet-swinging (and barroom busting) anti-saloon activist who happens to have a stone monument erected in her honor and is buried in the local cemetery.
But arguably, Belton’s most famous son could be the author Dale Carnegie of “How To Win Friends And Influence People” fame. Dale was a frequent visitor to Belton, called it home, and like Carry Nation, is also buried in the Belton cemetery alongside his parents.
But before you go around making friends and influencing people around the neighborhood, be sure to first call a trusted home inspector who will keep you safe from a house that might make you want to grab a shovel and bury yourself in the cemetery, too.
10 Reasons Why Bulldog Inspections Has Been A Trusted Home Inspector Belton MO since 2003.
#1 Your home will always be inspected by the owner.
This means your home will NEVER be inspected by an amateur, apprentice, or hourly employee who has no vested interest in you or your home inspection.
Steve Rodriguez is an award-winning Certified Master Inspector® and the owner of Bulldog Professional Inspection Services.
He checks more than 2000 items in the average home and has personally performed more than 15,000 home inspections and uncovered hundreds of thousands of defects in homes of all sizes, ages, types, conditions, and areas around Kansas City since 2003.
Do you want maximum return on your investment with minimum risk? Then call Bulldog Inspections.
#2 We encourage you to attend.
Some home inspectors discourage this. Or charge you extra for attending. We don’t.
It’s the least we can do after you’ve gone ahead and trusted us with your home. Plus, we’ll have things to discuss, and you may have questions at the end.
Even more, it’s the best way to understand what you’ll read later in your home inspection report.
So if you can make it, please attend. We’d love to meet you and shake your hand.
#3 We explain findings in plain English.
We’ll talk about the major areas at the end of the inspection, but we’ll do it in a way that anyone can understand.
I simplify complicated concepts, technical terms, and jargon that often make understanding the issues more complicated than they should be.
In fact, I explain them in ways my mom would understand (and she’s a 70-year-old hippie from the Bay Area, so if she can, pretty much anyone can – love you, Mom!).
#4 We inspect homes from top to bottom (literally).
Gravity is always pushing us down, so we use this force to follow leaks, stains, and cracks from start to finish so we can try to uncover the full extent of damage they’ve caused to the home.
We call this our GravityFlow™ Process, and it’s the reason we start on the roof and finish in the basement or crawlspace.
#5 We turn on lights and appliances BEFORE we trip GFCI outlets.
This is part of our Mystery Glitch technique.
By doing this, we can make sure lights, ovens, ceiling fans, microwaves, refrigerators, garbage disposals, outlets, garage door openers, attic fans, and dishwashers are wired correctly before you move in.
REAL CUSTOMER REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“…would recommend him to everyone!!!!”
“Steve is a very thorough inspector and would recommend him to everyone!!! He gave very clear and concise explanations of all areas of the property.” – A. Bruce, Belton, MO.
#6 If you change your mind about buying the home, you don’t pay.
It’s not uncommon for someone to schedule the home inspection then decide not to buy the home.
Especially when they bring family members who see it for the first time and notice things about the home they missed.
I understand, so if this happens to you at the beginning of the inspection, I’ll stop the inspection and not charge you for it.
#7 If the house is not ready when we arrive, there is no fee to reschedule.
This is another thing that happens more times than I care to admit when a home is vacant.
It’s even more likely if the home is being rehabbed and they promise to have it ready by an exact date.
But whether it’s caused by missing appliances, burst pipes, loose dogs, no utilities, or we’re locked out, if the home ends up not being ready after we arrive, the first trip is free.
#8 We can usually do your inspection within 24-48 hours
We’re small and nimble with a same-day report delivery, so if you need it done quickly, you can expect to have your inspection performed either the next day or the day after.
#9 We push on the tub and shower tiles
Homeowners love remodeling their homes. Unfortunately, some also love to cut corners.
One of the worst (but most common) places this happens is re-tiling tubs and showers. This is where they put new tile on top of old, soft, water-damaged drywall or plaster.
Fortunately, we know what to expect and where to look for things that might come back to haunt you later.
#10 We move toilets in 4 directions
On average, more than 50% of toilets in a home are loose.
So, on top of pounding on the tub and shower surrounds, we also move each toilet East-West and North-South.
That’s because one direction isn’t enough to uncover a loose and leaking toilet that may be causing havoc to your subfloor, bolts, and wax ring in the other direction.

Additional home inspection services in Belton
Termite Inspections
Subterranean termites are common in Belton and eat the wood in and around your home. A termite inspection checks for signs of termites, so you know if your home needs treatment or not. It’s important to have your home inspected regularly to prevent expensive damage and repairs.
Radon Testing
Radon gas is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer over time. An electronic radon test uses a special device placed in your home for a few days to measure radon levels. Radon testing is important in Belton because radon gas can seep into homes from cracks and openings in your foundation.
Sewer Scope Inspections
A Belton sewer scope inspection involves using a camera to look inside the pipes that connect your home to the main sewer line. It’s important because it can find problems like blockages, cracks, or tree root damage that you can’t see otherwise. Catching these issues early can save you thousands of dollars in major repairs down the road.
RE Investment Property Inspections
Our Belton Real estate investment inspections range from single family homes to multi-family properties. Our 5-point major-items inspection also covers only the critical areas: roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Get your investment property inspected by experienced professionals to save time and money in the long run.
