Home Inspection Services in Baton Rouge
At Abacus, we bring a contractor’s eye to every service we offer — informed by 14+ years of construction management, owner’s-representative, and construction loan monitoring experience. Below is a full rundown of what we offer across Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Gonzales, Prairieville, Zachary, and the surrounding parishes.
Home Inspections
A comprehensive, top-to-bottom evaluation of a residential property’s structure, systems, and components — roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more — so you know exactly what you’re buying, selling, or maintaining. Licensed Louisiana Home Inspector, LHI #20048.
Commercial Property Assessments
Detailed evaluations of commercial buildings and systems for owners, buyers, and investors — covering structural condition, major systems, and deferred maintenance that could affect value or risk.
Drone Inspections
High-resolution aerial inspections that safely capture roofs, chimneys, and hard-to-reach areas without the risk of ladder access — often catching issues a ground-level look would miss.
Sewer Scoping
Video camera inspection of underground sewer lines to detect blockages, root intrusion, damage, and leaks before they become expensive surprises.
Construction Phase & 11-Month Warranty Inspections
Scheduled inspections at key stages of new construction to verify workmanship and quality before completion — plus 11-month warranty inspections, timed to catch issues while your builder’s warranty is still active. Learn more about new construction and 11-month warranty inspections.
Aging in Place Reviews
A practical walkthrough of your home to identify modifications that can improve safety and accessibility as you age — from grab bars and lighting to entryways, bathrooms, and stair safety — helping you stay in your home comfortably and safely for years to come.
Thermal Imaging and Moisture Inspections
Using infrared thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, we can spot problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye — hidden leaks, trapped moisture behind walls, missing insulation, and areas of energy loss. This is included with every standard home inspection at no extra cost.
4-Point Insurance Inspections
A focused review of your home’s four major systems — roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC — used by insurance companies to evaluate risk on older homes. Commonly required for homes over 30 years old or when renewing a policy.
Roofing Inspections
A close, hands-on evaluation of your roof’s condition — shingles, flashing, vents, and drainage — to catch wear, damage, or installation issues before they turn into leaks or costly repairs.
