Why Sellers Benefit from a Pre-Listing Inspection
The soil beneath North Texas homes can be unpredictable. During dry seasons, it contracts and pulls away from the slab; in wet months, it swells and exerts pressure on the structure.
That cycle leads to cracks, door misalignment, and uneven floors — but not all movement means damage. Sentinel helps you tell the difference.
Our inspections identify:
Minor foundation settling or cracks
Roof wear and drainage issues
Outdated electrical panels or GFCI gaps
Leaky plumbing fixtures or slow drains
Inefficient HVAC performance
Cosmetic or deferred-maintenance items
A pre-listing inspection positions your property as inspection-ready — often eliminating the need for repair concessions later.

Local Expertise That Makes a Difference
Sentinel’s inspectors know the DFW market inside and out — from the slab foundations of Fort Worth to the attic ventilation systems in Frisco. Our deep local knowledge helps identify region-specific issues like:
Foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils
Attic heat buildup and roof deterioration
Drainage and grading problems from heavy storms
Aging HVAC systems common in older Dallas suburbs
We tailor every inspection to the area’s unique housing styles, from historic properties in Arlington Heights to new builds in Prosper.
The Sentinel Shield 360™ Seller Process
Our proprietary Sentinel Shield 360™ approach helps sellers move from guesswork to confidence.
1. Exterior & Foundation Evaluation
We verify grading, drainage, and structure to ensure the property passes buyer scrutiny.
2. System Performance Testing
All major systems — HVAC, electrical, plumbing — are tested for functionality and safety.
3. Thermal & Moisture Imaging
Infrared technology detects leaks or insulation gaps that buyers’ inspectors would flag later.
4. Comprehensive Digital Report
You’ll receive a same-day, color-coded summary showing maintenance items vs. major concerns.
5. Consultation for Listing Strategy
We walk sellers and agents through findings, helping decide what to repair, disclose, or price into the listing.
Sentinel Shield 360™ means confidence at every level — from soil to structure.
