"From the historic riverfront homes of Old Decatur and Albany to the neighborhoods spreading across Morgan County — Bobby McCurry has been inspecting River City homes since 2003, with the radon and moisture expertise this Tennessee River community genuinely needs."
Decatur — "The River City" — sits on the banks of the Tennessee River and anchors Morgan County as one of North Alabama's most established communities. With its two beautiful historic districts, Old Decatur and Albany, boasting one of the largest concentrations of Victorian-era homes in the state, alongside its strong industrial base and easy reach to the Huntsville metro, Decatur blends genuine history with steady growth. Nspection360 LLC — owned and operated by Bobby McCurry, an Alabama licensed and certified home inspector (License #0827) since 2003 — has completed more than 5,000 inspections across Decatur, Morgan County, and the surrounding Tennessee Valley.
Decatur's riverfront setting brings two concerns into sharp focus. First, radon: Morgan County's limestone and karst geology places Decatur in the EPA's highest-risk radon zone, and since radon is colorless, odorless, and the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., testing is the only way to know a home's level. Second, moisture: proximity to the Tennessee River, combined with North Alabama's humidity, means crawl spaces, basements, foundations, and older riverfront homes deserve careful attention for water intrusion, drainage, and the conditions that lead to mold and wood rot over time. Radon testing is Bobby's specialty, and he pairs it with the thorough moisture evaluation a river community calls for.
Decatur's housing stock runs the full range — from the irreplaceable Victorian and early-20th-century homes of the historic districts to mid-century neighborhoods and newer construction across Morgan County. Older riverfront homes can hide aging wiring, original plumbing, and moisture damage, while newer builds carry the usual builder shortcuts and drainage issues. When you hire Nspection360, you get Bobby McCurry personally — over two decades of North Alabama experience, walking your home with you, explaining every finding in plain language, and pairing it with the radon testing Morgan County calls for. Call Bobby at 256-206-6430 to schedule your Decatur inspection and radon test.

Answers to the most common questions Decatur and Morgan County homebuyers ask before scheduling their inspection.
Morgan County's limestone and karst geology is a classic source of radon gas, and the EPA places Decatur 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 Decatur 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 Morgan County's geology produces it regardless of how new the construction is. In fact, tighter new construction can trap radon more effectively, so a radon test on a new Decatur home is just as important as on an older one.
The Victorian and early-1900s homes of Old Decatur and Albany are gorgeous, but they can hide aging electrical wiring, original plumbing, dated HVAC, moisture and foundation issues from the river setting, and decades of layered repairs of varying quality. These homes are worth the investment for the right buyer — but they demand an experienced inspector. Bobby's 20+ years in North Alabama means he's seen it all.
It can. Proximity to the Tennessee River, combined with North Alabama's humidity, makes moisture intrusion, crawl space and basement dampness, drainage, and the conditions that lead to mold and wood rot especially worth checking in Decatur. Bobby pays close attention to these areas on every River City inspection — and pairs the evaluation with the radon testing Morgan County calls for.
