🏹 Straight Arrow Property Inspections
Know what you're buying. Understand what you own.

09/01/2026

🏠 A home inspection isn't a PASS or FAIL.

That's one of the biggest misconceptions we hear from homebuyers.

Your inspector isn't there to tell you whether you should buy the house. We're there to give you the information you need to make that decision confidently.

We look at the home's major systems, identify visible defects and safety concerns, document what we find, and explain what it means in plain English.

Some findings may be minor maintenance items.

Others could mean thousands of dollars in repairs.

The important part is knowing BEFORE you buy.

That's where Straight Arrow comes in. 🏹

Buying in East Texas? Don't go in blind.

The crawl space is the most neglected part of your home.

And often the most expensive.

Here's what we find under East Texas homes regularly:

🕷️ Moisture intrusion and standing water
🐛 Termite damage — East Texas is high risk
🌫️ Mold growing on floor joists
💨 Torn or missing v***r barriers
🐀 Pest activity (you don't want to know)

Most buyers never ask about the crawl space.

Most sellers are counting on that.

We always check. Always. 🔦

Not all electrical panels are created equal. ⚡

✅ Safe: Updated 200-amp panel, properly labeled breakers, no double-tapping
⚠️ Watch: Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels — known fire risks, often need full replacement
❌ Danger: Fuses instead of breakers, DIY wiring, burn marks inside the panel

Faulty electrical panels are among the leading causes of house fires in the US.

The lights turning on doesn't mean the panel is safe.

We love realtors. We really do.

But there are things only your inspector will ever say to you:

1. 'This foundation needs active monitoring' — not just 'looks fine'
2. 'That electrical panel is a fire risk' — not just 'it's older'
3. 'This roof has 2–3 years left, maximum' — not just 'it passed'

Realtors close deals. That's their job.
Inspectors protect buyers. That's ours.

Know the difference before you sign anything. 🎯
