Why Choose Lake Dog Home Inspection as your Lake Keowee Home Inspector?

Lake Dog Home Inspection is family owned and operated. 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.

As a Lake Keowee home inspector, I am 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 Keowee homes are occupied only a few weeks out of the year. These homes end up with much more deferred maintenance than we see in owner-occupied homes. Surrounding trees and landscaping may be unkempt, which contributes 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, which impacts how long the units last.

What else to consider when buying on Lake Keowee?

A dock is not a part of a general home inspection. If you would like the dock inspected at your new home, we recommend reaching out to a company that builds and/or repairs docks on Lake Keowee.

Radon Testing

Oconee & Pickens counties are at higher risk of having elevated radon levels than most other counties in the state. The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L. According to SCDES, test results of 37.1 have been reported for Oconee County, and results of 48.1 have been reported in Pickens County.

Mold Testing

Even molds that are not considered toxic can cause uncomfortable symptoms for those who are exposed. Surface sampling is valuable where there is visible growth. Air testing can expose problems that we couldn’t find otherwise during a non-invasive home inspection.

Water Water

Water Testing

If the Lake Keowee home you’re purchasing has a well, you should have the water tested to be sure it is safe for drinking.

The CDC recommends testing well water every year once you own the home.
