Buying or selling a home in Sammamish, WA? Tao Home Inspection provides thorough, licensed home inspections across the Sammamish Plateau and the greater Eastside — with full reports available in English and 中文 (Chinese). We’re based right here in Sammamish, so these are the homes we know best.
Why a Sammamish inspection needs local eyes
Much of Sammamish was built from the 1990s through the 2010s, so buyers often assume a “newer” home is a safe home. It usually isn’t that simple. On the Plateau we regularly find grading and drainage issues pushing water toward foundations, aging first-generation roofs and water heaters now hitting end of life, decks and railings that need attention, and crawl spaces with moisture or ventilation problems. A careful, independent inspection tells you what you’re really buying — before you’re committed.
What we inspect
Roof & attic, foundation & crawl space, electrical system, plumbing, heating & cooling (HVAC), windows & interiors, garage & safety devices, and built-in appliances — a full inspection carried out to InterNACHI’s international Standard of Practice, with a clear, photo-rich report you can actually use.
Bilingual inspections & reports — English + 中文
Sammamish has one of the highest concentrations of Chinese-speaking families on the Eastside, and buying a home in a second language is hard. We’re the Eastside’s bilingual home inspector: we explain findings in English or Mandarin on-site, and provide your report in English and Chinese so nothing gets lost in translation. 中文验房服务详情 →
