"From the upscale new builds of Hampton Cove to the foothill lots beneath Monte Sano — Bobby McCurry has been inspecting Owens Cross Roads-area homes since 2003, with the radon expertise this mountain-valley community genuinely needs."
Owens Cross Roads sits in the scenic southeast corner of Madison County, where the Tennessee Valley meets the foothills of Monte Sano and Green Mountain. Anchored by the highly desirable Hampton Cove community — with its golf trail, top-rated schools, and upscale neighborhoods nestled against the mountains — Owens Cross Roads has become one of the most attractive and fastest-appreciating areas in the entire Huntsville metro. 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 Owens Cross Roads, Hampton Cove, and the surrounding North Alabama communities.
This area's mountain-valley geology makes radon a genuine concern. Southeast Madison County's limestone and karst bedrock places Owens Cross Roads and Hampton Cove squarely in the EPA's highest-risk radon zone, and homes built into hillsides and against the foothills can be especially prone to radon entry through foundations, basements, and lower levels. Radon is colorless, odorless, and the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. — and because so much of the housing here is newer, upscale construction, many buyers wrongly assume they're in the clear. They aren't: radon depends on the ground, not the home's age. Radon testing is Bobby's specialty, and in this area it's essential.
Much of the Owens Cross Roads market is newer, higher-end construction, along with custom homes on larger lots and foothill properties with walkout basements and complex grading. New and custom builds still carry builder shortcuts, flashing and drainage issues, and HVAC imbalances, while hillside lots demand careful attention to grading, drainage, and foundation. 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 southeast Madison County calls for. Call Bobby at 256-206-6430 to schedule your Owens Cross Roads inspection and radon test.

Reviews from Owens Cross Roads and Hampton Cove homebuyers, sellers, and real estate professionals who have trusted Nspection360 LLC.
"We bought a newer home in Hampton Cove and assumed radon wasn't an issue for newer construction. Bobby recommended a test anyway — it came back elevated. He explained everything calmly and pointed us in the right direction. Cannot recommend him enough."

Answers to the most common questions Owens Cross Roads and Hampton Cove homebuyers ask before scheduling their inspection.
Southeast Madison County's limestone and karst geology is a classic source of radon gas, and the EPA places Owens Cross Roads and Hampton Cove in its highest-risk radon zone. Homes built into the foothills can be especially prone to radon entry through foundations and lower levels. 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 level. It's Bobby's specialty.
Yes. Radon depends on the ground beneath the home, not its age — and southeast Madison County's geology produces it regardless of how new the construction is. In fact, tighter new and custom construction can trap radon more effectively. With so much newer, upscale building in Hampton Cove, a radon test is just as important on a new home as an older one.
They can. Foothill and hillside lots common around Owens Cross Roads and Hampton Cove demand careful attention to grading, site drainage, retaining walls, walkout basements, and foundation — issues that can be cosmetic or serious depending on how the home sits on the land. Bobby's 20+ years in North Alabama means he knows exactly what to look for on these properties.
Absolutely — and with so much new and custom construction in Hampton Cove and Owens Cross Roads, it's one of the most valuable inspections you can get. Bobby regularly walks new and custom builds 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.
