"Park City has grown fast along the I-135 corridor — a real mix of established neighborhoods and brand-new construction. Both deserve a careful, honest inspection from someone who knows what to look for in each."
Park City sits directly along the I-135 corridor just north of Wichita's city limits — one of Sedgwick County's fastest-growing communities. Home to roughly eight thousand residents, Park City has expanded rapidly from its original mid-century footprint into a layered mix of housing eras: 1950s and 1960s ranches near the older heart of town, 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods filling out the central blocks, and active new-construction subdivisions pushing north and east. That kind of growth makes Park City a particularly interesting market for a home inspector who's seen every era of Kansas construction.
For Imperial Home Inspections, Park City represents two distinctly different inspection profiles. Older Park City homes commonly present aging electrical service panels, original galvanized plumbing reaching the end of its service life, foundation movement from Kansas's expansive clay soils, and clay tile sewer lines vulnerable to root intrusion from mature trees. Newer Park City construction comes with its own concerns — rushed framing, drainage and grading shortcuts, builder punch-list items overlooked at final walk-through, and lower-lying lots where surface water management is a long-term concern. Owner Rob Shannon brings 31 years of inspection experience and 20 years of WDI specialty work to both.
Like the rest of Sedgwick County, Park City sits in EPA Zone 1 for radon — meaning radon testing is a critical add-on for every home buyer. Termite pressure remains steady year-round, making lender-required WDI inspection standard for most transactions. Whether you're buying in an established Park City neighborhood, evaluating new construction along the growth corridor, or selling a property you've owned for years, Imperial delivers the thorough, photo-rich, honest report Park City buyers and homeowners deserve.

"Rob was amazing. Came into the house looking professional and that guy went everywhere — crawl space, attic, etc — all in basically a suit and tie. He took the time to talk with me with any questions I had and I didn't feel belittled, I felt heard. Very thorough with the whole inspection. 10/10 would recommend and if I have to buy another house you better believe I'm giving him a call."
"I have been using Rob Shannon for all my inspections for many years. His attention to the details and his customer service are by far the best in the business. Rob's knowledge on the job and his patience with my clients make for a winning combination. I highly recommend Rob for all your inspection needs!"
"Rob has been absolutely wonderful to work with! He has been my go-to inspector for several years now. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and is always willing to take time to explain findings to clients. I highly recommend Rob!"

Three decades of answering the questions Park City-area buyers ask most.
Yes — Imperial Home Inspections serves every part of Park City, from established 1950s and 1960s neighborhoods near the original heart of town to the newer subdivisions pushing north and east along the I-135 corridor. With 31 years inspecting Sedgwick County properties, Rob is familiar with Park City's full housing-stock range and the issues each generation of construction presents.
Older Park City homes commonly present aging electrical service panels, original galvanized plumbing, foundation movement from Kansas's expansive clay soils, and clay tile sewer lines that develop root intrusion from mature trees. Sewer scope inspection ($185) is one of the highest-value add-on services for any Park City home over 25 years old.
Park City's growth corridor has produced significant new construction. Common concerns in newer builds include rushed framing, drainage and grading issues on lower-lying lots, builder punch-list items overlooked at final walk-through, and code questions on items the builder's own walk-through missed. An independent third-party inspection gives you the leverage to have issues corrected by the builder before closing.
Yes. Park City is part of EPA Zone 1 for radon, meaning the predicted average indoor radon level is above the federal action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Radon testing at $150 is one of the most important add-on services any Park City home buyer can request, regardless of home age or neighborhood.
Most Park City inspections are scheduled within a few business days of the initial call. Reports are delivered within 24 hours of the inspection — typically same-day for buyers on tight closing timelines. Call Rob directly at 316-665-9405 to discuss your specific timeline.
