Chapman Stephens didn't plan to become a mold inspector. He was a mechanical engineer — someone who understood how buildings are supposed to work. Then his wife started getting sick.

Doctors eventually diagnosed CIRS. Four different inspectors came through their Nashville home and found nothing. When Chapman finally taught himself to investigate — pulling samples from wall cavities, running thermal imaging, tracing moisture paths — he found systemic Stachybotrys behind the walls. The family gutted the house to the studs and rebuilt it right.

That crisis became WellHome Inspections. Chapman now brings that same forensic intensity to every client — 5 to 10 hours on-site, advanced moisture mapping, DNA-based testing, and a remediation protocol that reads like an engineering report. He never performs remediation himself, maintaining complete independence from contractors.
