Your FPI Inspector
Sammy Herring
CPI · CERTIFIED INSPECTOR
EASTERN NCSammy Herring is a Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) and NC-licensed inspector (#6453) serving Greenville and Eastern NC. With a background in law enforcement and investigation, Sammy knows Eastern NC's coastal-influenced housing — crawlspaces, moisture, flood exposure, and older waterfront stock — and delivers clear reports buyers and agents can act on.
Everything in One Appointment
Due-diligence windows are short. FPI performs the full inspection stack in-house, so your buyer books one appointment and gets one report.

|---|---|---|
| Home inspection | Roof, structure, exterior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, attic, crawlspace | Every purchase |
| New construction (pre-drywall, final walkthrough) | Framing, rough-ins and flashing before drywall; punch list before closing | New builds |

| Pre-listing inspection | Same report, before the home goes on the market | Sellers and listing agents |
| Wood-destroying insect (WDIR 100) | Termite and WDI inspection; FPI issues the NC WDIR 100 directly | Most loans, every crawlspace home |
| Septic inspection | Tank, distribution box, drain field evaluation | Rural Pitt, Beaufort and Martin County lots |

Investor Purchases, Student Rentals and Tar River Flood Zones
Greenville’s market is shaped by East Carolina University and ECU Health: investor purchases, student rentals and family neighborhoods in Winterville and Ayden. Investors get the same full report a homebuyer does, with the roof, HVAC and plumbing findings that drive the capital budget. Homes near the Tar River carry flood-zone and drainage questions, and older homes near campus often still run on the original sewer lateral, which is worth a camera inspection before closing.
