Grassroots® The Inspection Specialists

A Portrait & Profile – You Get What You Inspect NOT What You Expect™

History – in 1986, Graham Ashdown, founder and president of Grassroots® recognized the need for determining the condition of properties. He felt that it was important to rely on the opinion of someone who would be independent and objective. That person would also have to conduct an investigation of the property and building which was thorough enough that the consumer was able to make an educated decision about its condition before they purchased it. With his vision and determination, the formation of the Grassroots® system emerged in 1990 — an independent, full service, inspection business.

What is grass.roots (n): 1. the very foundation or source; 2. changes occurring at a grassroots level; 3. the need for a back to basics way for the people.
