A Higher Standard of Inspection
I’m Emelia, the owner and inspector behind Tempest Inspections & Consulting. With more than 20 years of investigative experience, I bring a trained eye, attention to detail, and a commitment to providing clients with clear, honest, and thorough information about their property.
​
I deliver inspections that are structured, comprehensive, and strategically focused. I believe an inspection must do more than identify issues — it must provide clarity, direction, and confidence.
Why Choose Tempest?
​✔ 20+ Years Investigative Experience
A trained eye for risk, safety concerns, and hidden red flags.
​
✔ Concierge-Level Reporting
Clear, detailed, photo-rich reports designed to give you confidence — not confusion.
​
✔ Commercial Insurance Expertise
Preparing businesses for insurance inspections is not just a service — it is a specialty. Many business owners do not know what underwriters expect. I ensure you are prepared before the inspector arrives.
​
✔ Client Walk-Throughs
I take the time to explain findings in person, ensuring you fully understand the property condition.
​
✔ Client Protection Focused
I advocate for my clients by identifying concerns that could impact safety, insurability, or long-term value.
​
✔ Education & Professional Standards
Bachelor of Arts | Ohio Licensed Home Inspector - OHI.2026000772
My formal education, industry training, and professional experience provide a foundation of knowledge, integrity, and accountability behind every inspection.
The Tempest Standard
​​✔ Comprehensive, Systematic Inspections
From the foundation to the roofline, accessible systems and components are evaluated using a methodical inspection process. Where appropriate, advanced inspection tools such as thermal imaging, moisture meters, humidity meters, carbon monoxide testing, gas detection, and other diagnostic equipment are utilized to provide additional information.
​
​✔ Professional, Photo-Rich Reports
Your inspection findings are presented in a clear, easy-to-understand digital report with photographs, detailed descriptions, and recommendations. The report is designed to help you understand what was observed, why it matters, and what should be addressed.
​​
​✔ 24-Hour Report Delivery
Your completed inspection report is typically delivered within 24 hours of the inspection, giving you the information you need while it still matters.
​
​✔ Findings Explained — Not Just Listed
Your inspection does not end when the report is sent. Client walkthroughs provide an opportunity to discuss significant findings, answer questions, and make sure you understand the condition of the property.
​
✔ Standards, Scope & Transparency
Each inspection begins with a defined scope and follows applicable inspection standards and professional requirements. Limitations and inaccessible areas are clearly identified so you know exactly what was—and was not—evaluated.
​
✔ A Report You Can Use
Your inspection report is more than a checklist. It provides documented information you can use to make informed decisions, prioritize repairs, plan maintenance, evaluate risk, and—when applicable—support negotiations or insurance preparation.
Our Philosophy
Every property tells a story. My responsibility is to uncover that story clearly and objectively, giving you the information you need to make informed decisions with confidence.
This is especially true with commercial insurance inspections—my specialty. I help business owners understand what insurance inspectors and underwriters may be looking for before the inspection takes place. Through a detailed readiness review, I identify potential concerns early, helping reduce surprises, delays, and unnecessary costs.
On average, my insurance inspection reports have helped clients reduce their annual insurance premiums by approximately 10%.
