Landmark Property Inspections proudly serves California’s Greater Central Coast and Central Valley regions. Owner Judd Bull, CPI provides comprehensive residential, multi-family, and commercial inspection services across two distinct service areas, each with unique property challenges that require specialized local knowledge.

• Foundation cracks from seismic activity
• Interior moisture from fog and marine layer
• Wood fungus and rot under decks, balconies, shaded areas
• Damp crawl spaces
• Very few homes have AC – furnaces only
• Very few homes built after 2000
Central Valley Properties
• Hard clay soil that expands and contracts with moisture
• Wood destroying insects: termites and subterranean termites
• Inadequate soffit and ridge venting – “hot roof” syndrome
• Roots in sewer laterals

• Dry rot from irrigation and morning dew
• Urban sprawl with many new tract homes
