Ed Lampl Environmental and Home Inspections

Ed was extremely thorough in his inspection and explained in detail both the positive aspects and potential issues for the whole property. As a first time home buyer, I was not sure what to look for exactly but Ed walked me through what he was looking for and why. He took lots of pictures (many of which we did not even include in the report but he gave them to me anyway). My only caution is that because Ed is so thorough, he took about 4 ½ hours for my inspection so make sure you are prepared for that time frame. Other than that, I highly recommend his services so you don’t get stuck figuring out how to deal with all of this stuff after you buy!

I had a great experience with Ed. I own a few properties and Ed was the best inspector I used so far. True professional and have top of the line equipment including a drone to inspect roofs and hard to reach areas. What else can n you ask for.

Ed took a drone over our house and is cleared by the FAA to fly for his business. What more do you need to know? This guy goes above and beyond and is clearly dedicated to his craft. He wants what is best for his customers and that means that he is going to do a thorough job, which is what you want if you are having a home inspected prior to buying! He answered any and all questions I had and provided an extremely detailed report. He said we could call him anytime as well. Great dude, will definitely use him again in the future.

Wow, couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ed. My fiancé and I are in the process of buying our first home and Ed made everything very easy to understand and took the time to explain things to us. Additionally, he was extremely thorough, leaving no stone unturned. He even took a drone up to check out the roof and the surrounding area, as well as giving us a USB of all the photos and video that he took. He does extensive testing as well, he checked for wood infestation, radon, moisture, and mold for us, and that is probably only half of what he does. If you want to get the best value for your money make sure you use Ed!

I’m new to the Pittsburgh area and we had just purchased our first home. We needed an inspection and based on the great reviews, I called Ed. I could not have been more pleased and satisfied with the service he provided. He called me back immediately and I was able to schedule the inspection on the exact day I needed. He provided home, radon, and pest inspections. The inspection process was EXTREMELY thorough. When I told him it was my first time buying a house, he took the extra time to answer my questions and explain everything he was seeing. His use of the drone to capture the roof and other aspects of the home were very helpful, and it was great walking out of the house with the report already in hand. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and I learned a lot from the experience. Overall, I would recommend Ed to anyone looking for a home inspector in the area.

Very thorough and very complete inspection Showed on time. Lots of good information to make an informed decision. He had to go back and check on stuff because of some technicality. Didn’t make a fuss of it.

Well, it seems I wrote a review for Ed quite a while back and I don’t see it here. It was a super-​good review. I see he has plenty of good reviews, and rightfully so. Very happy with his evaluation. Highly recommend.

Amazing home inspect that is vary professional. He truly does not work for the realtor but he works for the person that is buying the house. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.

Ed is fantastic. He just did a home inspection for us. He takes great photo’s provides all the pictures and video for us tech nerds. This home had a previous inspection 1 month ago and they didn’t find half the things Ed did. He’s friendly, answers all questions, and is really about educating you as the home buyer on not just what he see’s but what you should be doing in the future.

Wow I couldn’t be more happier then I was by choosing Ed to do our home inspection. We are getting ready to purchase an 8 year old house and I didn’t think anything could be wrong. But I was wrong! With Ed’s thorough inspection he found stuff I didn’t even think he could find He even has a drone! It was so awesome to get a video and a pictures from the sky of our new home! I couldn’t be any more happier with Ed and his service! If you need a home inspection make sure you call Ed!!!

My wife and I could not have been happier that we hired Ed for our home inspection. Ed made the inspection a great introduction into learning the ins and outs of our new home.
Ed was very thorough and answered every question my wife and I had. Ed let us know about all the different aspects of his inspection including repairs, maintenance and safety.
At the end of the inspection Ed emailed us copies of his report which included pictures and comments around repairs, maintenance and safety concerns. The report reads very easily and is a great resource for any new home owner. I will definitely be reading it again to remind me what I should be paying attention to. Ed also took numerous pictures of the roof and lot with his drone.
I would work with him Ed again and have no reservations about recommending him to my family and friends.

I hired Ed to do an inspection on a home we purchased. He did a very thorough job and took as much time as we needed with follow up calls to explain things later on.

Ed is an amazing inspector. His reports are detailed and he tells you so much about your new house. I would not hesitate to hire him.

Ed’s an all around spectacular guy who is clearly very passionate about his job. I had an offer on a house that was accepted and was looking to get an inspection right away. My agent had highly recommended Ed so I called him up and he was willing to meet up later in the evening on the very same day that I called him to perform the 1.5 hour inspection – what dedication! Ed uncovered a ton of different issues with my house that I never would have thought to look for myself. He produced a very comprehensive report with pictures of my place and took the time to explain everything to me in great detail, which I really appreciated. Like others have noted, too, Ed also made some vital recommendations that, again, I never would have thought to consider myself. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking to get a home inspection.

Ed did a very thorough home inspection, finding issues that we didn’t even think to look for or ask about. He was able to schedule an appointment quickly after we approached him, which is helpful with the negotiations. He also patiently answered all the questions that we had (which was a lot), both about the report and the house itself.
He produced a detailed inspection report with notes, images, and even future maintenance recommendations, and gave it to us on the spot. He also inspected for mold and made very helpful suggestions about mold removal and prevention.
I would definitely work with him again and recommend him to others.

Ed is the best and is also a great guy. I truly believe making money is secondary for him. I believe his first priory is helping people and making sure they don’t get ripped off and money is secondary to him.
I had EverDry come to my new house and use scare tactics on me and give me an outrageous bid of $ 18,000. My wife and I were truly scared to death that it wasn’t even safe to be in our home. I called Ed and he did mold testing and air testing and gave my wife and I peace of mind that everything was fine until his tests came back from the lab. Thankfully his tests came back negative. He did thorough testing of my house at a reasonable price and my wife and our were very confident we had nothing to worry about. He went above and beyond with his testing.
He also does a great job of educating us and making you understand everything. I have never learned so much from anyone in my life.
What I like most about Ed is since he did the mold testing at my house, I have called him 5 times asking for his advice and help about certain air quality/​home questions. Even though chances are he will never make a dime off me again, unless i need mold testing again or a home inspection, he treats me like I am his number one client and answers every question I have as if he were making money off me. I call him ask him questions because I respect his opinion and he continuously educates me.
If I ever need mold testing again or a home inspection he would be my guy for sure. He is So thorough it isn’t even funny.
And a huge Plus about Ed is he is absolutely freaking hilarious.
Im not one to write reviews, but he is too good not to write one.

What a great guy that has alot of experience. I called ed for an inspection on a building I was renting out of state and when I mentioned that I needed someone that day because I had to go back home he came within two hours. He has alot of knowledge and definitely gave me alot of information on what to do. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Ed is probably the best home inspector that I have ever met. He is very thorough and also a great guy. I would highly recommend using him for a home inspection as he cares about his clients. He finds small little things that i think other home inspectors over look or just don’t care about. After viewing our report– ed basically put together a maintenance guide for our property. He also inspected the entire place for mold and ran testing. I will recommend using him in the future

We were under contract on a house in Regent Square and hired Ed to do all of the relevant inspections (house, pest, and radon). Ed was responsive when I called to set up an appointment, and he was able to do the inspection within a week. We found his inspection to be thorough, and it revealed a lot of problems with the house (which ultimately led us to walk away from the deal). While his inspection was thorough, it lasted way too long because he writes the report during the inspection. While it is nice to have a report right away, there were long stretches of time where we had to sit and wait while he dictated the report. We were there for 4+ hours, but the actual inspection probably only took about 1.5 or 2 hours. Also, we found his report to be hard to follow — there were garbled sentences and lots of «filler» text. It was hard to determine what were the serious issues and what were the minor ones. Ultimately, he got the job done, but I would have preferred a more easy-​to-​understand, streamlined report, and less time spent waiting at the house while he wrote it. Overall, I’d probably give him 3.5 stars.

This was the most thorough house inspection we have ever experienced. His attention to detail shed light on all potential and current problems. The property in question looked fairly clean on first visit. But after the inspection we discovered mold, leaks, electrical issues and a plethora of brick issues. He explained what was critical and what was just a function of age. We wish he had inspected our current house.
