What every buyer in the Lowcountry should know before, during, and after their home inspection.
Always Attend Your Inspection
Being present lets you ask questions, see issues firsthand, and understand the home's systems — not just read about them in a report. Our inspectors walk you through every finding in real time.
Don't Skip the Crawl Space
In the Lowcountry's humid climate, crawl spaces are a hotspot for moisture intrusion, wood rot, and pest damage. A thorough crawl space inspection is essential — not optional.
Check the Flood Zone Before You Buy
Coastal South Carolina has significant flood risk. Use FEMA's Flood Map Service Center to look up any property's flood zone designation before making an offer — it affects insurance costs significantly.
Understand What's Not Included
A standard home inspection covers visible, accessible systems. Specialty inspections — like WDO (termite/wood infestation), radon, or mold testing — are separate. Ask us what add-ons make sense for your property.
Use the Report as a Negotiating Tool
Your inspection report isn't just a list of problems — it's leverage. Significant findings can support a price reduction, seller repairs, or credits at closing. Share the report with your real estate agent.
New Construction Still Needs an Inspection
Brand-new homes can have defects too. Builder inspections are not the same as an independent third-party inspection. We offer phase inspections during construction and final walk-throughs before closing.
