Heart of Illinois Property Services Trusted Home Inspections in Peoria, IL and Surrounding Areas

Choosing the right home inspector matters. A thorough inspection can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs and give you the negotiating power you need during a real estate transaction. Here is what sets HOI Property Services apart from other inspection companies serving Central and Northern Illinois.

Chase Owen holds more than 25 specialized certifications through InterNACHI, the world's largest home inspector association. These include certifications in roof inspection, electrical systems, plumbing, moisture intrusion, chimney inspection, deck and pool safety, mobile and manufactured homes, new construction, and infrared thermography. He also holds an IICRC Water Restoration Certification and is a certified Mold Specialist through IRI. This breadth of training means we can identify issues that less-qualified inspectors might miss.

HOI Property Services is proud to be affiliated with the Peoria Area Association of Realtors, the Northwest Illinois Alliance of Realtors, and Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED). These relationships reflect the trust that real estate professionals from Peoria to Rockford and beyond place in our work. We are also a recipient of the Angi Super Service Award, which recognizes consistently high ratings and quality of service.

We believe a home inspection should also be an educational experience. Beyond identifying problems, we take the time to explain maintenance items, walk you through our findings on-site, and provide you with the knowledge to monitor your home long after closing day. Clients across Central Illinois, from first-time homebuyers in Normal to seasoned investors in Galesburg, appreciate this hands-on approach to property inspection.

Heart of Illinois Property Services provides comprehensive home inspections, radon testing, mold consultation, and air quality testing for homebuyers, sellers, and property owners across a wide service area spanning Central and Northern Illinois. Based in Peoria and serving communities within a two-hour radius — including Bloomington, Rockford, Springfield, Champaign, and everywhere in between — bringing certified, professional inspection services directly to you.

Owned and operated by Chase Owen, a licensed Illinois home inspector and InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector, HOI is a business built on thoroughness, transparency, and client education. With over a decade of real estate experience and a degree from Bradley University, Chase brings a level of professionalism and attention to detail that protects your investment and gives you confidence in one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. Every home inspection includes complimentary thermal imaging, allowing detection of hidden moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots that a visual inspection alone cannot reveal.

Whether you are purchasing your first home in Peoria, selling a property in Bloomington, investing in a rental in Rockford, or simply want to understand the condition of your current residence anywhere in Central Illinois, HOI is here to provide clear answers and actionable information.

HOI offers a full range of property inspection and environmental testing services designed to give you a complete picture of your home's condition and safety. From Peoria to Rockford and throughout the surrounding region, clients receive the same thorough, detail-oriented service no matter where they are located within a two-hour service area.

Residential home inspections cover every accessible system and component of the property, from the roof and attic down through the foundation. HOI will evaluate structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, exterior grading, insulation, ventilation, and much more. Your inspector will arrive fully equipped with moisture meters, gas detectors, carbon monoxide monitors, and thermal imaging cameras so that nothing is overlooked.

For homebuyers concerned about indoor air quality, HOI provides certified radon testing through an Illinois-approved radon laboratory. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and many counties across Central Illinois fall within high-risk zones. Testing is the only way to know whether your home has elevated radon levels, and HOI's process delivers fast, accurate results you can trust.

Mold consultation services include surface testing, air quality sampling, and full moisture investigations. All samples are analyzed by PriorityLab, an accredited third-party laboratory, ensuring objective and reliable results. If you see visible mold, smell something musty, or have unexplained allergy symptoms, HOI can identify the issue and help you understand your next steps. HOI also offers air quality and particle identification testing for clients who want a deeper understanding of what they are breathing inside their home or commercial space.

HOI Property Services is based in Peoria, Illinois, and proudly serves homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate agents across a broad region of Central and Northern Illinois. We travel up to two hours from Peoria to ensure clients throughout the area have access to professional, certified home inspections and environmental testing.
