Home Inspector in Hubert, NC
Hubert sits between Swansboro and Camp Lejeune along Queens Creek and the White Oak River. It’s a mix of rural lots, waterfront homes and neighborhoods popular with military families, and it’s only a few minutes from my base in Cape Carteret.
I’m Bastian Steuer, owner of 2theCore, an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector (CMI) and North Carolina licensed home inspector #5461. I do only one inspection per day, so I’m never rushing to the next appointment. You’re welcome to come along and ask questions; if you can’t, I’ll go over the findings with you afterward.
Hubert homes I inspect
- Rural homes on larger lots, often with outbuildings, longer driveways and septic systems.
- Waterfront homes on Queens Creek and the White Oak River, with docks and decks.
- Neighborhoods popular with military families, often bought on a relocation timeline.
- Newer construction, with warranty items to catch.
- Older homes that have been updated over the years.
What I look at closely in Hubert
Crawl spaces. Many Hubert homes sit on crawl spaces, and every one gets a full crawl space inspection at no extra cost, with a crawlbot camera if it can’t be entered safely.
Rural properties. On rural lots I pay attention to grading and drainage. Some rural properties may use private wells; well testing isn’t part of a home inspection, so ask your agent.
Wind and water. Wind-driven rain gets into roofs, flashing, windows and doors. I check these closely and look for signs of past storm damage.
Thermal imaging is included in every inspection and helps spot hidden moisture, missing insulation and overheating electrical parts.
Sewer or septic in Hubert
Many Hubert homes rely on septic systems, and some are on public sewer. Your agent or the seller can tell you which one a home has.
On sewer? A sewer scope ($300) sends a camera through the main line to check for roots, cracks, breaks and blockages.
On septic? A home inspection doesn’t evaluate the septic tank and drain field, so I recommend a septic inspection by a trusted septic inspector I work with, scheduled around your inspection and billed separately.
What’s inspected
- Roof, gutters and downspouts
- Structure, foundation and crawl space
