Established in 2008 by founder and owner Travis Hooper, SEI Home Inspections and local SEI inspectors bring years of industry knowledge and experience to your home. Our knowledge comes from the actual application of building codes and hands on inspection experience, not just classroom lessons.
SEI Home Inspections has been in business for over thirteen years and has hundreds of satisfied clients, but the experience and expertise of SEI Home Inspections started well before its creation. Founder, Owner & local Inspector Travis Hooper has been in the Greater Houston area home inspection and residential construction business for more than 15 years. Travis also has many years experience rehabbing older or existing homes in the Houston area. This experience has given SEI Home Inspectors great knowledge of construction techniques used from the 1900’s to present day. Knowledge can be a major advantage during pre-purchase inspections for buyers or home investors who are looking to buy existing homes in the Houston area. Our home inspection reports can give you the assurance that the home in question will be around and functioning for many years.
We specialize in new and existing home construction, thermal imaging inspections, electromagnetic field testing, pool inspections, mold inspections and phase inspections of new home construction.
SEI Inspections LLC utilizes the latest in Residential Inspection Technology to make your inspection experience as easy and convenient as possible. SEI starts by using the latest in inspections software allowing the finished inspection report to be received any way you want- email, fax or mail, but the inspection report goes even deeper than that. Emailed inspection reports are interactive also. Inspection reports will contain a combination of video, audio and digital images, helping you understand the condition of your future home before you decide to buy. In addition, SEI utilizes thermal imaging inspection technology to help identify problems that may be hidden behind the walls of your future home. These problems can range from a pinhole water leak to missing insulation. And the use of thermal imaging inspection technology is at NO ADDITIONAL COST to you. This inspection report will give you the security to know you are making a wise investment. In addition, most of the home inspections process can be handled online too. From our website you can sign the inspection contract, make a payment and view your home inspection report. All from the comfort of your home or office.

It should be said that there have been five other potential home inspectors that had the opportunity to work with SEI Home Inspections and Ryan Andrasek is the only inspector that I would trust to inspect under the SEI Home Inspection name.

I'm so happy we used SEI to do the inspection for our new home. Travis was incredibly thorough with the inspection itself as well as the inspection report, which he got back to us in a very timely manner. I definitely recommend SEI to anyone in the process of buying a house!
Here are some answers to the questions we receive the most about our local home inspection services.
If we missed anything, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’ll be happy to help
Most home inspections take 2-3 hours. Times may vary depending on the size, age and condition of the home.
Inspection reports are typically available within 24 hours after the home/property inspection is complete.
You are more than welcome to be present at the inspection site from start to finish as it is a great time to get to know the home you’re purchasing. We do however recommend showing up towards the end of the inspection for your convenience at such time as when the inspector is prepared to go over his findings.
The purchase of a new home is the most important and costly investment you and your family can make. Choosing SEI Home Inspections to thoroughly go over your home with a “fine-toothed” comb is a great way to get to know your home before you buy it.
A home inspection is an excellent tool for any home buyer, to help determine condition of home and help foresee immediate and unnecessary additional cost.
SEI Home Inspectors don’t have a “crystal ball” but can pinpoint existing problem areas.
We’re sure your family-friend is a great person but we do not recommend entrusting such a vital inspection to an unlicensed friend.
SEI Home Inspectors have many years of experience, even before becoming home inspectors. Inspectors have several different licenses and special equipment to help get an accurate inspection report for our clients.
Even having a new home built from the ground up requires a home inspection at different stages.
Seasoned contractors and trade professionals often know when to step aside and hire SEI Home Inspectors to do their job. We have a very detailed inspection report that will assist in your new home buying experience or investment property.
Your new home construction manager is being paid to keep a timeline and a budget. Under such circumstances, proper construction may be sacrificed for time, budget or both. It makes sense to hire someone who is on your side to keep an inspector’s eye on the place you’re going to call home.
An inspection with us is a long term investment. We are here for you to answer your questions today, tomorrow or next year at no additional cost. We are available Monday-Friday 8am-8pm and Saturday 10am-5pm.
