Inspecting homes in Aurora
The near-east and near-west sides hold substantial nineteenth and early twentieth century housing — large older homes, many subdivided over the years, with the systems complexity that implies. Original wiring modified across several decades, plumbing in three materials, and additions of varying quality are all common.
The far east side around Route 59 is a different city entirely: 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, larger homes, and the standard set of questions about original HVAC age, roof condition and lot drainage.
Aurora crosses four counties, which affects permit records and disclosure history more than it affects the inspection. What matters more is that older Aurora homes often have long, layered renovation histories, and unpermitted work turns up regularly — particularly finished basements and converted attics that don't meet egress or ceiling-height requirements.
Sewer line condition deserves consideration on the older housing stock, where clay laterals with decades of root intrusion are common.
Neighborhoods we work in: Downtown Aurora, Near East Side, Near West Side, Stonebridge, Oakhurst, Lakewood Valley and the Route 59 corridor, and throughout the 60502, 60503, 60504, 60505, 60506 ZIP codes.

What we can inspect
for you here.
Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Inspection
The full walkthrough before you commit — roof to foundation, with a punch list you can take straight to the negotiating table.
Learn more ›Pre-Listing (Seller's) Inspection
Find the deal-breakers before a buyer's inspector does. Fix them on your timeline and keep renegotiation out of your closing.
Learn more ›New Construction Inspection
Builders miss things. We inspect at pre-drywall and before your final walkthrough, while everything is still the builder's job to fix.
Learn more ›Thermal Imaging (Infrared)
Infrared sees moisture behind drywall, missing insulation and overheating breakers — problems invisible to the naked eye. Included with every inspection.
Learn more ›Radon Testing
Kane and DuPage sit in EPA Radon Zone 1. We place a continuous monitor for 48 hours and give you hour-by-hour pCi/L data.
Learn more ›Why radon matters here
Kane, DuPage, Will & Kendall is EPA Radon Zone 1.
Northern Illinois has the geology to produce elevated indoor radon, and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency recommends that every home be tested below the third floor. Two houses on the same Aurora street can test completely differently, so a neighbor's result tells you nothing about the home you're buying.
We test with a continuous radon monitor over 48 hours rather than a charcoal kit — you get hourly readings, tamper detection and a result that stands up in a real estate transaction. The monitor is placed during your inspection and collected two days later, which fits inside a normal contingency window.
Reviews
What clients say.
Hardik was our inspector and we have nothing but amazing things to say. He took his time explaining every detail of our home and answered all our questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional — I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Hardik did a wonderful job inspecting our first home. He took his time and explained everything in detail. Thanks to his inspection we were able to negotiate many needed repairs to the home and feel satisfied and confident with our purchase.
We did a pre-listing inspection and fixed the four things he flagged. The buyers' inspector found nothing new and we closed at asking with no credits. Best money we spent on the sale.
