“I cannot recommend Andrew enough! If you’re looking for a home inspector who is reliable, thorough, and genuinely cares about the work he does, Andrew is your guy.
He is meticulous in every detail and takes the time to make sure nothing is overlooked. What really sets him apart is the pride and care he puts into his work. He treats every property as if it were his own, approaching each inspection with the same attention, respect, and concern he would give his own home.
He is dependable, professional, and someone you can trust to give you an honest and thorough assessment. Buying a home is a big investment, and having someone like Andrew in your corner makes all the difference.
Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspector who truly goes above and beyond!”

Good questions.
Clear answers.
Not sure where to start?
Drew is happy to discuss your property.
What does a residential inspection cover?
A residential inspection evaluates applicable, visible and accessible components: roof and drainage, exterior, structural components and foundations, crawlspaces, attic and insulation, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, interiors, built-in appliances, garages and visible site conditions. Scope follows the agreement, relevant Mississippi requirements and ASHI Standards of Practice; it is not invasive investigation, engineering or code-compliance certification.
Are thermal imaging and moisture readings included?
Yes. They are included in standard residential inspections at no additional charge and used where appropriate. They supplement observations and may help identify areas needing further evaluation. They do not guarantee discovery of concealed conditions, see through walls or confirm hidden mold.
How is a commercial inspection scoped?
We discuss the property, your objectives and any access considerations before establishing a scope in the inspection agreement. The relevant inspection framework and building characteristics guide the evaluation. Engineering, specialized environmental assessments and services requiring additional licenses are not automatically included.
Does mold testing establish whether a property is safe?
No. Sampling and laboratory analysis provide information about the sampled conditions at a particular time. Testing is different from a comprehensive mold assessment, and results alone cannot determine safety or establish health outcomes.
How do I schedule an inspection?
Contact Drew directly at (228) 355-7489 or info@watchmaninspections.com to discuss your property, scope and timing. Use the online scheduling page, or call or email Watchman to discuss your property and timing.
