"From the historic homes around the Square to the new subdivisions spreading across Limestone County — Bobby McCurry has been inspecting Athens-area homes since 2003, with the radon expertise this part of North Alabama genuinely needs."
Athens is the heart of Limestone County and one of the fastest-growing communities in all of North Alabama. With its courthouse square, its deep roots as a college town around Athens State University, and its small-town character holding steady even as the Huntsville metro pushes west, Athens has become a place where families put down roots — drawn by the schools, the pace, and the easy reach of the Tennessee Valley's booming job market. Nspection360 LLC — owned and operated by Bobby McCurry, an Alabama licensed and certified home inspector (License #0827) since 2003 — is based right here in Athens at 17606 Sewell Road, and has completed more than 5,000 inspections across the region.
Athens is also where one of the most overlooked risks in North Alabama real estate comes into sharpest focus: radon. Limestone County isn't named for its limestone by accident — the same karst geology that gives the region its name and its springs is a classic producer of radon gas, and the EPA places this part of North Alabama in its highest-risk radon zone. Radon is colorless, odorless, and the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, yet the only way to know a home's level is to test for it. Radon testing is Bobby's specialty, and in Athens it isn't an optional add-on — it's one of the smartest things a buyer in Limestone County can do before closing.
The Athens housing market spans a wide range of eras and construction types, and each carries its own concerns. Older homes near downtown and the Square can hide aging wiring, original plumbing, and decades of varied repairs, while the explosion of new construction across Limestone County brings its own issues — builder shortcuts, improperly installed flashing, drainage and grading problems, and HVAC imbalances that a builder walk-through rarely catches. Add North Alabama's humidity, clay soils, and severe-weather exposure, and even newer Athens homes deserve a careful, experienced eye. Bobby inspects the roof, foundation and structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, and crawl space on every home — and pairs it with the radon testing this area calls for.
What sets Nspection360 apart in Athens is simple: Bobby does the work himself. When you hire Nspection360, you don't get a franchise or a rotating crew — you get Bobby McCurry personally, with more than two decades of North Alabama inspection experience, walking your home alongside you, answering your questions on site, and explaining every finding in plain language.

Answers to the most common questions Athens and Limestone County homebuyers ask before scheduling their inspection.
Limestone County's karst geology — the same limestone bedrock that gives the county its name — is a classic source of radon gas, and the EPA places this part of North Alabama in its highest-risk radon zone. Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. and can't be seen or smelled, so testing is the only way to know your home's level. It's Bobby's specialty, and in Athens it's one of the smartest things a buyer can do before closing.
Yes. Radon depends on the ground beneath the home, not its age — and Limestone County's geology produces it regardless of how new the construction is. In fact, tighter new construction can trap radon more effectively. With so much new building across Athens, a radon test on a new home is just as important as on an older one.
Older Athens homes can hide aging electrical wiring, original or galvanized plumbing, dated HVAC systems, and decades of layered repairs of varying quality. These homes have real character and are worth the investment for the right buyer — but they deserve an experienced inspector who knows what to look for. Bobby's 20+ years in North Alabama means he's seen it all.
Absolutely — and it's one of the most valuable inspections you can get. With Athens growing as fast as it is, Bobby regularly walks new-construction homes before closing and finds items the builder missed: flashing, drainage and grading, HVAC balance, and finish issues. He also offers builder's warranty inspections in your 10th month, before your one-year warranty expires.
