Common Property Conditions in Southwest San Antonio & Medina Valley
Homes throughout Southwest San Antonio and Medina Valley range from suburban neighborhoods to historic districts and rural ranch properties. While every property is unique, several regional conditions are commonly evaluated during our inspections.
Foundation Performance
Much of Southwest Texas is underlain by expansive clay soils that can shift as moisture conditions change. We visually evaluate accessible areas for drywall cracks, binding doors and windows, uneven flooring, brick veneer separation, visible foundation cracking and evidence of previous foundation repairs.
Roofing Systems
Southwest Texas weather exposes homes to intense summer heat, high winds, hailstorms, heavy rainfall and seasonal thunderstorms. Our inspectors visually evaluate accessible roofing materials, flashing, valleys, roof penetrations, chimneys where applicable, general visible wear and drainage patterns.
HVAC Systems
Reliable heating and cooling systems are essential in South Texas. Our inspections include a visual evaluation of accessible heating and cooling operation, thermostat function, airflow, condensate drainage and visible ductwork.

Whether inspecting a newly built home or a historic residence, our inspections include a visual evaluation of accessible water supply and drain piping, plumbing fixtures, water heaters and visible leaks, plus the main electrical service, distribution panels, branch wiring, receptacles, GFCI/AFCI protection and visible grounding and bonding.
Drainage & Site Grading
Proper grading helps reduce the potential for water to collect near a home's foundation. Our inspectors visually evaluate accessible site grading, surface drainage, gutters, downspouts, drainage swales where visible and areas where water may accumulate around the structure.
Rural Utilities
Many properties throughout Medina and Atascosa counties utilize utility systems that differ from homes served by municipal infrastructure. Depending on the property, buyers may encounter private water wells, onsite wastewater treatment systems, propane systems, detached utility buildings and water storage tanks.
