SureLock Home Inspections - NC Licensed Home Inspector

Not All Home Inspections Are Created Equal

One Inspector. One Visit. No Mysteries Left Unsolved.

Home inspections, radon testing, and WDIR termite inspections under one roof, from one trusted inspector across the Piedmont Triad and northwest North Carolina. Clear digital reports with photos.

The game is afoot. Let us uncover the mysteries of your home.

“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Sherlock Holmes — Arthur Conan Doyle

Hi, I'm Cory Holder, and every home leaves clues

Across the Piedmont Triad and northwest North Carolina, I conduct your home inspection, radon test, and WDIR (termite) inspection as a single coordinated investigation. Rather than chasing clues from multiple companies, you'll have one trusted inspector overseeing the case from beginning to end.

Every investigation is thorough, honest, and documented in a clear digital report complete with photographs and detailed findings, ensuring no mystery is left unsolved before you make your decision.

Buyer Inspections

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. Before you close, I'll uncover costly defects and hidden concerns that may be lurking in plain sight. I'll also help you get acquainted with your new home by showing you important features such as the main water shutoff, water heater, electrical panel, and HVAC system, so you can move in with confidence.

Pre-Listing Inspections

Selling your home? Let me solve the mysteries before your buyers arrive. A pre-listing inspection gives you the opportunity to address concerns on your own terms and helps prevent unexpected discoveries from disrupting the case later. The result is greater buyer confidence, stronger offers, and fewer surprises on the path to closing.

Specialty Inspections

Every property has its secrets. Beyond buyer's inspections, I offer pre-listing inspections, periodic maintenance inspections, certified radon testing, water testing for homes served by private wells, and WDIR termite inspections. With a single trusted point of contact, you can uncover hidden defects, wood-destroying insects, water quality concerns, and elevated radon levels without the hassle of coordinating multiple companies.

“Cory saved us from a bad purchase exposing a possible asbestos nightmare. He was thorough, professional, and personable. If you need an inspection, Cory is your man.”
