Home Inspections in New Castle County, DE
TMK Inspections serves buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals throughout Wilmington and northern Delaware. All three of our inspectors serve Delaware and provide practical explanations, responsive communication, and clear, photo-rich reports.
Inspection guidance shaped by northern Delaware homes
New Castle County’s housing ranges from older Wilmington rowhomes and masonry properties to mid-century neighborhoods, newer suburban developments, townhomes, and rural-edge properties. Each type presents a different mix of questions about structure, moisture, utilities, renovations, and long-term maintenance.
We connect individual observations into a useful picture of the home. Clients receive an explanation of what was visible, why it matters, and what the sensible next step may be—without unnecessary alarm.

Residential and pre-listing inspections

Property details that may deserve added attention
Basements, crawlspaces and drainage
Grading, roof runoff, foundation conditions, visible moisture, and ventilation are considered together rather than as isolated findings.
Older renovations and mixed systems
Wilmington and established suburbs often contain multiple generations of electrical, plumbing, roofing, and heating work that benefit from a careful visual review.
Townhomes and attached properties
Shared assemblies, exterior responsibility, penetrations, attic access, and visible signs of neighboring conditions can affect what the buyer should investigate further.
Private utilities and larger parcels
Where applicable, well equipment, water testing, septic systems, outbuildings, and site drainage may require additional services or coordination.
