http://www.ashi.org/ is the american society of home inspectors website. They are a professional organization where the inspectors have to have done a minimum of 200 inspections (under a mentor who is a member of the organization), pass a national test, take annual continuing education, have a strong ethics policy and follow a set thorough checklist. They also provide easy to understand reports. You can find an inspector in your area using their online database
