Lake Hartwell Home Inspector

Lake Dog Home Inspection is family owned and operated. We offer Lake Hartwell home inspections in both South Carolina and Georgia. You are the client, NOT your real estate agent. We provide comprehensive inspection reports that include both photos and video. In most cases, we will deliver your inspection report the same day. We know how important buying or selling a home is, as well as how stressful it can be. As a result, we are available to answer questions 7 days a week. Our experience with lakefront properties means that you get the information that allows you to make the most informed decision possible.

A Lake Hartwell home inspector is aware of the unique set of factors that can influence the condition of lake homes. For example, the property’s slope can contribute to erosion or even to moisture in the home’s crawl space or basement. In addition, many Lake Hartwell homes are occupied only a few weeks out of the year. These homes often end up with much more deferred maintenance than we see in owner-occupied homes. Surrounding trees and landscaping are often unkempt, which can contribute to pests inside the home or damage to the roof. Leaves accumulate in gutters, on roofs, and on deck surfaces. This can lead to a number of issues from moisture intrusion at the foundation to wood rot. Weatherstripping and sealant around doors and windows deteriorates. Absentee homeowners may not think of servicing their HVAC units, or even remember to change the filters. This can impact how long the unit lasts.
