What we find here
Common issues we find in Columbia homes
Columbia and the Midlands run from century-old houses near downtown to new subdivisions out toward Lexington and Chapin, in a climate that is harder on buildings than anywhere else we work.
Heat and humidity
Midlands summers put real load on HVAC systems and push moisture into every cavity that is not sealed or ventilated. Tired or undersized systems, sweating ducts in hot attics and damp crawlspaces are routine findings here.
Older Columbia neighborhoods
Shandon, Rosewood, Forest Acres and the streets around downtown hold older housing with original wiring, aging waste lines and crawlspaces carrying decades of history.
Newer development west and north
Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Blythewood and Elgin bring recent construction, where the report turns to workmanship, grading and drainage rather than age.
Drainage and past water entry
The Midlands have seen serious flooding, and how a lot sheds water matters. We report grading, downspout discharge, crawlspace drainage and any evidence that water has been inside before.
Slab and crawlspace, both common
This market has plenty of each. A slab hides the plumbing under it. A crawlspace shows you everything, but only if somebody goes in, which is what our inspectors do. See crawl space inspection.
South Carolina paperwork
Wood-infestation reporting is the CL-100, produced in house by South Carolina licensed inspectors. See termite and WDIR.
Common questions
Columbia inspection questions
Are you taking bookings in Columbia yet?
Yes. Columbia and the Midlands is our newest market and we are booking inspections there now. The inspectors are South Carolina licensed and certified in every service we offer, and the report is identical to the one a Charlotte client receives.
Which number do I call for Columbia?
803-244-9868, our South Carolina line, while we establish a local Columbia number.
Which towns do you cover?
Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Blythewood, Cayce, West Columbia, Forest Acres and Elgin.
What is a CL-100?
South Carolina’s wood-infestation report, the state equivalent of the North Carolina WDIR. Lenders commonly require it, VA loans among them, and we produce it alongside the inspection.
Is radon worth testing in the Midlands?
Yes. Radon comes out of the soil and varies house to house, and South Carolina homes do test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. See radon testing.
Can I get radon, termite and a sewer scope on one visit?
Yes. One inspector, one visit, one report, rather than three companies across three days.
