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.
