A home inspection typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the home. We'll start outside, inspecting the roof, siding, drainage, and foundation. Inside, we examine the walls, ceilings, floors, attic, crawl space, and basement. Then we check the major systems—electrical, plumbing, HVAC—and perform basic checks on appliances. You'll receive a digital report within 24 hours. We encourage you to attend the inspection so we can walk you through any findings.

Common issues include: • Roof wear – Usually from age or improper installation • Poor drainage – Can lead to foundation problems • Electrical panel issues – Safety hazard, often due to outdated wiring • Plumbing leaks – Could signal corrosion or poor seals • HVAC inefficiencies – May indicate poor maintenance or age • Foundation cracks – Not always serious, but worth monitoring • Improper grading – May lead to water intrusion • Attic insulation gaps – Can affect energy efficiency • Door/window seal issues – Common in older homes • GFCI outlets missing – Important safety requirement in wet areas

Even brand-new homes can have significant defects due to rushed construction or missed steps. We often find improperly installed HVAC systems, missing insulation, drainage issues, or cosmetic flaws. A home inspection ensures everything is built correctly and safely before you close.

The report is a digital document with clear photos, notes, and a summary of findings. It's divided by areas of the home and includes safety issues, repair items, and maintenance suggestions. We explain everything in plain language and are available to answer any questions you have after reviewing the report.

Seasonal maintenance checklist: Spring: Check gutters, inspect roofing, service AC, look for exterior damage. Summer: Test sprinkler systems, inspect attic ventilation, clean dryer vents. Fall: Clean gutters, check insulation, service heating system, inspect weather stripping. Winter: Keep pipes from freezing, inspect smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, test sump pump.

Buyer Inspections happen after an offer is made. They help the buyer understand the home's condition before closing. Seller (Pre-Listing) Inspections are done before listing a home. This allows the seller to fix issues proactively and avoid surprises during negotiation. Both help smooth out the transaction process and increase confidence.

A crawl space is a shallow, unfinished area under the house that gives access to plumbing, wiring, and the home's foundation. It's important because hidden issues like moisture damage, mold, or pests often originate there. We always inspect crawl spaces when accessible to ensure everything is in good condition.

In Georgia—especially Warner Robins—we look out for high humidity issues, termite damage, improper crawl space ventilation, and HVAC strain due to summer heat. Storm drainage and grading are also especially important in this region. We tailor our inspections to these common local concerns.
