About Us
InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector
At Diligent Home Inspections LLC, we believe that a home inspection should be more than just a checklist—it should be a clear, comprehensive look at one of the biggest investments of your life. Whether you're buying, selling, or maintaining a property, our mission is to provide you with the facts you need to make confident, well-informed decisions.
We proudly serve Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the surrounding region within a 90-mile radius, offering detailed home inspections and sewer scope services for homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals. Every inspection we perform is backed by over a decade of hands-on construction experience, professional certification, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time.
My name is Derrick Lamb, owner and lead inspector. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in the construction industry, I bring more than just textbook knowledge to every inspection—I bring practical, real-world insight. My background working directly in the building trades has given me a deep understanding of how homes are built, how their systems work, and where problems are most likely to occur.
I am a Certified Home Inspector through Inspection Certification Associates (ICA) and a proud InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector. These certifications ensure that I follow the highest industry standards and stay up-to-date on the latest tools, techniques, and best practices in the inspection field.
I take pride in delivering thorough, honest, and easy-to-understand inspections. I believe in more than just handing over a report—I take the time to explain my findings, answer your questions, and help you truly understand the condition of the home.
Our Approach
Every home inspection is conducted with the same level of care and attention I would give if I were inspecting my own home. That means:
I take the time to check every accessible area and system.
I explain findings in plain language without confusing jargon.
I work for you, not the seller, agent, or anyone else.
Reports are delivered promptly, complete with photos and detailed notes.
Backed by industry certifications and years of real-world experience
