Infrared is an advanced non-destructive technology that allows us to discover issues that no one can show you with conventional inspection methods. We specifically trained and certified to use this powerful technology as it relates to building inspections and diagnostic services.

What was previously a difficult and expensive task can now be achieved much more cost-effectively using our remotely piloted aerial systems. Building inspections of roofs, chimneys, towers, stadiums, wind turbines, church spires, etc., no longer need expensive cherry-pickers or scaffolding. We can give you a series of high resolution images or high definition video of most hard to reach structures. You can even monitor the footage being gathered on our remote ground station screens to make sure you’re getting exactly the images you require.
Robotics
Ground level inspections involving clearance , obstacle and safety issues are solved with our Robotic Inspection Cameras. Equipped with high definition photo , video and lighting systems our "CRAWLBOT" gets to areas that are not possible without this technology.
What our clients say about us

Tammy Smith client
I know Phil Henderson of Tennessee Building Inspections both personally and professionally and turn to no other company when I need commercial building inspections. Shanks Properties has been in business over 15 years and invests $2-3 million annually in the local real estate market and we TRUST Phil and company to assist us in those investment decisions. He is my one and only referral when asked about building inspectors, both residential and commercial.
David Shanks, client
"We first met Phil Henderson when we commissioned Tennessee Building Inspections to inspect a seemingly great investment, commercial property in 2016. He uncovered some hidden structural flaws and we have saved ourselves from potentially a very bad investment. Since then, we've worked with Phil on four properties, which we successfully closed on with assurance for the strength of each investment that we could not have gauged without Phil's reports & input. Each time, we were met with the same professionalism, enthusiasm, and individualized attention. He understands that time is of the essence in all real estate transactions and is timely with both scheduling the inspection and producing the report. He is equipped with the latest technologies with expertly trained staff, though they are not afraid to get their hands dirty too, climbing and crawling into spaces that isn't visible off the street; we never question whether an item has been left unchecked. With each inspection, Phil has personally followed up with us to go over the report and to answer our questions. We are very grateful for his thorough, candid perspective, and look to no one else!"
Miyuki K. - Investment Client
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased my husband and I were with your services. When we found ourselves in need of an inspector to work with we pulled from several sources; real estate agent, personal references, and the internet. After we contacted your company we were pleased to find not only did you have 27 years of inspection experience, but that you could accommodate the unusual hours that our client preferred. We really appreciate the information you exchanged with us on site during the inspection. Your attention to detail was excellent ! We also appreciated your suggestions of how we could possibly resolve problems. If we are ever in need of inspection services or have any recommendations solicited from us we will be sure to send them your way.
Thanks again,
Krista McCampbell
As an instructor at Pellissippi State I taught several of the courses offered for the Building Performance Analyst Certification. I cannot express enough the insight and knowledge Mr. Henderson provided to our class concerning structural and mechanical aspects of a building. Mr. Henderson scored perfectly in all areas of building science during the two week training course work and was my highest level performer in the field test.
