From initial assessment to installation and billing, pro check radon systems was top notch professional. And most importantly, my radon levels were dramatically reduced. Just what I paid for. read more

They did great work, and reduced my radon measurements from 18 to 1.5. Great guys and they walked me through everything they were doing.

Company great to work with. Timely estimate and good solution 8nstalled quite quickly.

Warning! Warning! Warning! Exercise caution when utilizing Pro Check Engineering for your home inspection needs. My family and I moved to Pickerington from Ft. Benning, GA. this past June. My wife and I both served in the Army and were moving up here to be close to family. We hired a realtor and began looking for homes. After finding one, our realtor recommended Pro Check Engineering to conduct our home inspection. Being a first time home buyer, I listened and we hired Pro Check. Pro Check conducted the inspection, we trusted that they did a thorough job, and bought the home. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The inspector made two significant errors, he missed a large crack in the foundation and mold in the crawlspace. The crack leaked when it rained and had existed long enough that the carpet around it was black and moldy. As for the mold, I will address that in a moment. I contacted my realtor about these issues and was put in direct contact with the owner, Alan Gibson. Alan came out and assessed the damage, he took responsibility for the crack but refused to be held accountable for the mold, he told me to just wipe it off. I had my basement tested and we had mold levels of 21,000 per m3. For reference, 1000 and below is considered safe. It has since cost me over $5000 in professional mold remediation. Finally, the levels are down and my home is safe for my family. Glad I didn't just "wipe it off". Back to the crack. To fix the crack, two large sections of drywall had to be cut in order to gain access to it. These were replaced after the repair, but not painted back to match my wall. I addressed this with Alan, as well as the black, moldy carpet. After some debate, he agreed to fix them but still did not take responsibility for the other mold, even after I told him that my insurance company had came out and determined the the mold existed prior to our purchase of the home. Also, as a stipulation to painting the drywall and fixing the carpet, Alan wanted me to sign a waiver releasing him from any further liability. I refused to sign as I did not know the extent of mold damage. This is when Alan showed his true colors. Upon my refusal to sign, Alan rescinded his offer to fix the wall and carpet and cut off contact with me. He also informed me that I signed a contract upon hiring his company that limits their liability to the cost of the inspection...$325. Home inspection companies can carry limited liability and/or professional liability. Professional liability covers company's in the event that an the inspector omits something or makes a mistake, and it covers the cost of the mistake. Limited liability is what Pro Check carries, and it only covers the company up to the cost of the inspection. So, they are only willing to back there work with a promise of $325, should they make a mistake. Seems kinda small when we are talking about homes that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fortunately, there are companies that have more confidence in the service they provide than Pro Check does, you just have to find them. Look for companies with professional liability for your home inspection needs, or at least discuss what happens in the event of an error. Hopefully someone can learn from this and not make the same mistake I did. read more

Had done quite a bit of research late last year on who to have install our radon system. Eventually settled on Alan and crew. Couldn't have been happier with their work. They were very friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. Did a very clean job and price was reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Alan was awesome. He just made everything so much easier. I don't feel as though I am walking in blind anymore. Being a first time home buyer, I was kinda freaking out. Well, with the help of Sydney and Alan both, I can walk in and not be worried, thank you! read more

We contracted ProCheck Radon to install a radon abatement system in our home. They were extremely professional and knowledgeable. Their installation was thorough, efficient and most importantly, done to code. I would recommend them to any and all who inquire. Pickerington, OH read more

Steve Schira is the man to get!!! I was present for the audit, and he is the most thorough and detailed engineeer [yes, he is a real engineer by training] I have even met. After several hours of inspecting, he then spent time with me making sketches on a couple of issues and also give us a very detailed report. After we bought the house he came by at no charge to discuss the issues with a contractor we hired to do the repairs he suggested. That was above and beyond the call of duty. read more

I cannot not recommend Dina and ProCheck enough! It was my first time buying a condo, and I didn't know what kinds of things I should be looking for. Dina spent several hours looking the condo over, and pointed out things I never would have noticed otherwise. She was really thorough - she went over the inside and the outside and was able to point out things I never would have noticed otherwise! She also went over what kind of regular maintenance I should be doing. She provided a very detailed report that allowed me to make a plan for what repairs and renovations should be completed before I moved in, and what I should be prepared for in the future. Dina made the process of buying a house so much easier and I felt confident and prepared going into closing. I couldn't have done this without her! read more

I hired this company to inspect a house I wanted to buy. I chose them because on their website, they list their employees credentials. All of their employees are seem very well qualified and experienced. They each have at LEAST a bachelor's degree in engineering and most of them have more than that. Chris did a very good inspecting the property. He seemed thorough and friendly. What was really impressive was what happened next. My funding source threw up hurdle after hurdle regarding certifying every little thing in the house. I had to ask Chris to come out and do a re-inspection. I had to give him a ton of extra paperwork to fill out. And he did everything, quickly, kindly, accurately. They did this all at a very reasonable price. I'm very delighted to recommend them. They were a key part of me getting to buy my first house. read more

I was very pleased with Alan Gibson with Procheck. As a first time homebuyer, there was a lot of different areas I had questions on and he was able to assist me and provide superb advice. Would definitely recommend! read more

Dina is by far the best! We bought our home last fall, and Pro check was on a list of recommended companies our real estate agent handed to us. After researching each company thoroughly a friend recommended Dina. She is the other owner and I am so glad we got her. She was extremely helpful and interested in getting us the very best even recommending things we could do ourselves to fix the problem. She even knew that the radon test could be done for hundreds of dollars less then our real estate agent had recommended. Dina called out one of her employees to come while she was there to look for any more Carpenter ants since she saw some dead ones during the inspection. We were very pleased with Dina she saved us tens of thousands of dollars when we bought our home! We even got money from the sellers to buy all new kitchen appliances! She left no stone unturned! I am so happy with the final report it is easy to understand, and we know what we should address to increase the value of our home. Buying our first home was a little scary at first but, after Dina came out and answered all our questions I am confident that I know more about our home then the back of my hand. I should also mention that Dina also offered to let us contact her any time about our house with any questions. She is the one to get! read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Dina and ProCheck for our home inspection. She was extremely thorough, and helpful. As first time homebuyers, we had many questions and Dina took the time to make sure we had an understanding of what she was looking for as a home inspector and educating us on important home ownership guidelines. I can't tell you how much we appreciated her thoroughness, patience, and candor. While negotiating the request to remedy, Dina was a wonderful resource by phone, helping us go through the seller's proposal and sharing insights and advice on what to ask for and what to let go. Dina made a daunting task feel more transparent and manageable. We would highly recommend Dina and Procheck. read more

We utilized ProCheck (Alan Gibson) primarily because we wanted an engineer to inspect an old property we were looking to buy. Alan provided in-depth understanding of the process they use to assess the condition of a building and brought up some major repair items related to structural integrity of the home. Good engineers are worth every penny and ProCheck gives you the professional support you need to make a timely decision...on time! read more

Wow, what a great place to go if you want every detail on your future home! We hired Pro Check, as my daughter used them twice before and highly recommended this company to do a thorough inspection for a home purchase. Allen was in the attic, in the crawl space, on the roof, everywhere you could go to get as much information on the home as possible! No stone was left unturned in looking for an evaluation on our future home. No home is perfect, but you just want to know what you're getting into to be able to have a fair price! I truly thank Allen and Pro Check for their professionalism and giving us a detailed report the same day!! read more

Excellent company. As a first time home buyer, I was navigating a process one step at a time and was lost a lot of the time. My realtor and mortgage broker were steering me through, and a colleague of mine recommended Pro Check Engineering for their thoroughness. Alan Gibson was the engineer assigned, and met me promptly at my condo for the inspection. He walked me through room by room, explaining everything to me. I'm not very handy, so I really appreciated the patience and detail. I requested every remedy recommended, and was much more confident and less nervous after the inspection. I would recommend Pro Check and Alan without reservation. read more

I don't normally write reviews, but was extremely pleased with Procheck Engineering that I thought I'd write one. This week we had Alan Gibson inspect a house that is under contract. We wanted an inspector with an engineering background since there had been some prior work done to the foundation of the house to stabilize it. As a first time homebuyer, Alan went above and beyond to help explain things as we followed behind him throughout the entire inspection. But more importantly, I felt he did a very thorough job with the inspection, taking detailed notes, supplementing his findings with pictures, and providing us with a comprehensive report that day. read more

Alan was highly recommended by my realtor for the home inspection. He was extremely detailed and took his time to answer any questions I had both on the report and the house itself. His meticulous inspection helped identify several issues that needed to be addressed by the seller prior to closing. The report explained the issues clearly and provided solutions that were both fair and accurate. Alan and Pro Check Engineering are essential to your home purchase process, and I have no hesitation in recommending him. I will be contacting him soon again when I purchase a new home for my parents. read more

These guys are awesome. Incredibly professional and thorough. For things we needed fixed they also gave us some great recommendations.

The home inspection for the house we were about to buy was incredibly thorough. Steve is an engineer by training and was very patient about answering my rookie questions. He checked out EVERYTHING and found quite a few issues that hadn't been apparent when we put in an offer. He put all of his findings into a 23-page report, then sat down and reviewed the whole document. EVerything from the roof on the house down to the (tiny) crawlspace in the basement was looked at - the process took about three hours for a 1700-sq. ft. (but old) house. Steve did our inspection, and I found him to be very trustworthy. read more

We did a home inspection for a home we were buying and Alan was early & stayed late. Very thorough and really knew his stuff! I would absolutely recommend him as a person & business! You can't go wrong! read more

Alan Gibson of ProCheck Engineering was great to work with. Not only was he professional, thorough, and helpful through the entire process, he also went above and beyond when our mortgage lender made a last minute request for additional information. If you are looking for a quality home inspector, look no further. You won't be disappointed. read more

I can not speak highly enough about Dina and the entire ProCheck team. Scheduling was fast and easy. The price was very fair. Most importantly the inspection was terrific. Dina took her time and did a very thorough job going through the entire house with me. She took her time and patiently answered every question I had. She and her assistant, John, were both very professional and informative. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to a friend. read more

They were absolutely horrible...they missed major issues with our home and it cost us a great deal of money. When they came back to our home to see the things they missed they admitted it should have been caught, but refused to reimburse us or to pay for the repairs. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! read more

I used ProCheck Engineering in 2013 to inspect an old house in Clintonville. Thanks to the thorough inspection, we chose not to proceed with buying the house. I used their engineers again in April 2019 for a chimney inspection of my 45 year old house. The chimney was pulling away from the side of the house. The engineer arrived on time, explained things in a way that my non-engineer self could understand and promised a report the same day. He did indeed get me the report on the same day. When the concrete leveling firm went to pull a permit to do the work, the City asked for additional information. This is a new part of the permitting process. The engineer was out of state, but he was still able to update my report within 24 hours of my request. This allowed me to provide the needed information to the concrete leveling service. The overall communication, level of detail and quality of work is excellent. Will use them again when the need arises and will recommend them to friends in search of experienced, licensed and professional engineers to do structural inspections. read more

My wife and I recently purchased our first home. We chose ProCheck over a few competitors based on recommendations, and couldn't be happier. Specifically, Alan Gibson was the inspector of our home. I wasn't sure how the actual inspection would work, but Alan made everything (major) known to me as he went through the home, and explained everything so I understood. In addition to that, the detailed report we received after the fact has been super helpful as we make some changes/upgrades to the house. While everything was professionally discussed, Alan was very personal and genuinely a great guy to talk to as well; he got along great with our dog and has been an awesome point of contact for questions we've had since the inspection (being very willing and available to do so). ProCheck doesn't offer termite inspection, but 100% handles the scheduling (and payment) of the inspection by a separate company, so you don't have to worry about it. Overall, the inspection was a great experience and we are very happy with everything that ProCheck provided and did/does. read more

Steve Schira did our inspection. There were few positives, and the negatives are what are costing us thousands of dollars only three weeks after buying this home. Be sure to check what kind of "engineer" the person is before doing the inspection. The 23 page report you get after the inspection is what you SHOULD get at the very least. The man has very little social tact and needs to be able to talk to you about the biggest investment of your life. Positives- He climbeb up on the roof, took pictures of any major imperfections, climbed into the attic/crawl space and was up there for a while examining it. Looked like he knew what he was doing. Negatives- He looks like he knows what he is doing. Dont let him fool you. He missed the fact that there is BLACK MOLD and the the evidence of prior water damage to the basement . I kick myself now not seeing the little warning signs i should have seen in the process of buying the home, having worked in the carpentry field and finishing basements for a period of time for a living. HOWEVER it is Steve Schira's job to be able to find and report these things to potential home buyers. A close friend of mine coinsidentally bought a house months before I moved into mine. He too had ProCheck do the inspection. A month after buying the home, an electrician came into the house to do an estimate to re-run some wiring. He found several uncapped live wires hanging out of a closet wall. Steve Schira is the inspector who missed these live wires and the result could have been financial loss or bodily harm. Steve Schira is NOT the home inspector to use if you want quality and peace of mind that the home you are moving into is a good investment. read more

This company... where to start. We used ProCheck Eng after getting a referral from our HER realtor. The inspection was done on 9/10/14 by Michael. Basically, though he noted a slope in the floor, etc, the inspector failed to move a paver covering a crawlspace vent from the western side of the house and identify that EVERY SINGLE JOIST VISIBLE FROM THAT SPACE is broken. The entire western side of my house - every joist - is broken. When I complained, the owner of the company, Steve Schira, while cordial, was quick to put the blame on my realtor, USDA, and me. We had identified (as we started putting in support joists to keep the house from collapsing as we were moving in) that the damage was caused by termites. Steve was quick to jump on that and argue that they weren't even licensed by the state to do termite inspections and that they weren't accountable. Only, Michael wouldn't have had to be a bug expert. He would have just had to take 5 minutes, while photographing that portion of the house anyway, to pull the paver out and take a gander. The broken joists are clear as day, profoundly broken (splinted throughout, missing ends, etc). I can't figure out of it is just this inspector, if it is because I was buying a cheap little house and they figured I was some ignorant redneck, or what. Michael missed electrical problems and major structural damage. When I complained through BBB?? Steve Schira, owner of the company, accused me of "lack of diligence". This, he argued, was because I, as a home buyer, should have done additional investigation. Michael VERBALLY told us that everything looked OK, probably a sagging joist, whatever. And I figured that surely, when he said he checked out the house, he checked out the house. Why would I, who am not an "engineer", be expected to do their job? These guys claim to use ASHI Standards - and I am sure in their minds, they think they do. But remember that ASHI also has a code of ETHICS, which Steve and crew obviously don't think play too big a role in their business ventures. The way I figure it, if you have money, maybe they care? I will say this... for those of you who decide to utilize these people, keep in mind that Steve is passive-aggressive in his responses, disrespectful (treats you kind of dumb), and at the end of all things, is just taking advantage of the fact that the banks require homebuyers to fork over a bunch of money to have home inspections done. They basically screwed two hardworking people trying to be responsible homebuyers. I will never refer anyone to ProCheck. While I hardly think that the rest of the inspectors from this company are the same (I am sure they are nice people), I very much don't think they should be able to advertise themselves as "engineers" when all of them are not. If you do decide to use ProCheck, don't ask EVER for Michael, make sure you are present during the entire inspection, and don't trust them to do anything above and beyond (like moving a paver and checking in a crawlspace vent). In other words, you might want to take a course for yourself in home inspecting. I mean, there is no state licensing in Ohio and you can find courses for about $500 online that will get you through the training. Funnily enough, this costs about as much as a ProCheck inspection. read more
