One Call. That's All.The full home inspection is our primary service and package. Radon testing, sewer scoping and the rest are ancillary services you can add — all priced plainly, right here.
The full home inspection is our primary service and the package almost everyone books. Everything below it is an ancillary service: genuinely useful, priced separately, and entirely your call.
Roof to foundation, inside and out, with infrared imaging and modern tools throughout — then a clear, photo-rich report the same day through an interactive portal you can filter, search and share.
A home inspection in Illinois has a defined scope under the Home Inspector License Act (225 ILCS 441/). Radon testing, sewer scoping and our other services fall outside that scope, so we offer them as separate services alongside the inspection rather than folding them into it.
A continuous radon monitor placed in the lowest livable level, read against the EPA action level. Illinois is a high-radon state — this is the only way to know.
The two tests that catch the most expensive surprises in an older Chicagoland home, bundled. Priced from $500 and tailored to the property and what you actually need.
A camera run down the main line to find the roots, cracks, and collapses that hide in Chicago’s original clay and cast-iron laterals — before they are your problem.
A standard home inspection is a visual inspection. It does not put a monitor in your basement for a radon reading, and it does not send a camera underground. Those are the two areas where a Chicagoland home most often hides a four- or five-figure problem — so doing both in the same visit is the single highest-value add-on there is.
Booking them together starting at $500 saves you about $125 versus buying them separately, and it means one appointment, one inspector, and one report instead of coordinating three visits inside a tight contingency window.
We stand behind every inspection with a 200% satisfaction guarantee, and full inspections include a 90-day limited warranty. If we’re not the right fit, you shouldn’t pay for it — it’s that simple.
Radon testing is $275. We place a continuous radon monitor in the lowest livable level of the home for the testing period and give you a clear reading against the EPA action level. It can be added to a home inspection or booked on its own.
Sewer scoping is $350. We push a camera through the main line and show you exactly what is happening underground — roots, cracks, offsets, or standing water — with video and notes in your report.
The combined radon and sewer package starts at $500, which saves you about $125 versus booking the two separately. It is priced from there and tailored to the property, because a 1920s bungalow with an original clay lateral is a different job than a ten-year-old build.
No. The home inspection is our primary service and the package most clients book — it starts at $400 for a single-family home and $350 for a condo or townhome. Radon testing, sewer scoping and our other services are ancillary services offered alongside it, so a full inspection with the radon and sewer package typically lands around $900.
Because a home inspection in Illinois has a defined scope. Under the Home Inspector License Act (225 ILCS 441/), a home inspection is a visual examination of the readily accessible components of a home, performed to the standards of practice set for licensed inspectors. Radon testing and sewer scoping fall outside that defined scope — different equipment, different time, and genuinely optional depending on the property — so we offer them as separate ancillary services rather than folding them into a higher base price that every client pays.
Yes. Send us the property address and we confirm the exact price up front, before you commit to anything. Final pricing depends on square footage, age, and property type — but you will never get a surprise on the invoice.
Send us the address and your closing date. We’ll confirm the exact price up front and get you on the schedule — often within days.

“We had an exceptional experience with Ray from the moment we hired him. His communication was prompt and he arrived on location early. Ray was kind and warm and immediately made us comfortable upon meeting him. He worked hard the entire 3 hours he was there and was extremely thorough, taking care to point things of interest out to us as he went. He was calm, professional, honest and knowledgeable. Ray gave us the information and professional opinions we needed to make an informed decision, ultimately walking away from a house that saved us from a nightmare situation down the road. Highly, highly recommend!!!”
“We had a great experience with Sahm Home Inspections. The inspection was long and thorough, and Ray was polite and great to work with. He addressed all of our major concerns and explained some extra information about the questions we had. Even our realtor, who hadn’t worked with them before, thought it was a good process and plans to hold on to their contact information to work with them again.”
“Ray did an amazing job. He was very thorough with the inspection, was well documented with notes and photos, and went above and beyond by explaining some of the nuances of the home. He was very polite and respectful too. His report was very detailed and he offered to talk through it if I liked. Definitely recommend.”
“Ray is the best! Thorough, knowledgeable, and great at explaining everything. The report came the same night, and we felt fully informed and taken care of. Fantastic experience with Sahm Home Inspections – highly recommend!”
“Ray was friendly, meticulous and professional. We hired him specifically for mold inspection and he did a wonderful job complete with a comprehensive report and lab results. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

“It was a pleasure working with Ray! I reached out to him after putting in an offer and he was able to get me in within the 5-day window. I was a little skeptical, being a first time condo buyer — but he quickly gained my trust as a fellow former service member and talking through his process with me. Will work with him again & highly recommend!”
“Ray was professional and high tech! I would highly recommend SAHM home inspectors for your next home inspection. He gave great advice and helped inform me throughout the process so I knew what to expect. His final report was most impressive with an interactive portal that allows me to easily filter and skip to the areas I want to see.”
“Working with Ray was an excellent experience. He spent around 5 hours inspecting our prospective home, and supplied us with a very detailed inspection report. Ray was very helpful and helped us understand his findings during the inspection, and was easy to get along with. Highly recommend!”
“Ray was very thorough and the report was super helpful with great pictures and labels showing where everything is for future reference! Was able to schedule my inspection under 48 hours of when I called. Would definitely recommend.”
