Who inspects homes in Van, Texas?
That would be me — Jeff Stalnaker, TREC License #26322-PI. I run Cardinal Home Inspections out of Tyler and I cover Van and the rest of Van Zandt County regularly. I do every inspection myself, walk you through what I find while we're standing in the house, and get your photo report back within 12 hours. In Van that includes buyer and Market Ready inspections, new construction and 11-month warranty inspections, pools and spas, roofs, termite/WDI, and septic, well, and lawn sprinkler work.

Local Knowledge, Licensed Expertise
Van's history runs through the Van Oil Field, and the town's housing stock still reflects that era alongside newer construction. It's an easy drive northwest of Tyler and I cover it regularly.
Van-area homes span from oil-boom era construction — where I'm paying attention to foundations, original wiring, and roof structures — to modern builds and country properties on acreage. Van Zandt County's clay soils work foundations the same way they do everywhere in East Texas, so drainage is always worth a careful look. Rural tracts commonly run on wells and septic.
Local note: The Van Oil Field, discovered in 1929, was one of the most significant finds in East Texas.
