What is a home inspection?
Think of a home inspection like an annual check-up at with your doctor. Home inspections are used to ensure that everything is working correctly in your home - from your sinks and appliances to your windows and roof. A great home inspection will help shine a light on concerning issues located inside and outside your home, which may affect your quality of life.
Home inspections are also helpful for spotting potential risks that may cause concern down the line. When we send you your home inspection report, you will have a much better idea of any problems that are present in your home. Included in your report are recommended repairs and suggestions on what actions to take as your home ages.
Because different circumstances require different types of home inspections, we offer several choices to cater to your needs:
General Home Inspections in West Ashley
You've heard it before - "A man's house is his castle." It is a place of peace, relaxation, and privacy. However, the steps leading up to your new purchase can be exhausting, expensive, and stressful. After all, when you buy a home, you're investing in your family's future. That is why I believe that having an unbiased general home inspection (or buyer's inspection) is an investment all on its own.
Our goal is to keep you informed and aware of all the components in your new home. In fact, I encourage you to be present and ask questions during your inspection. That way, you can walk into your closing with confidence, knowing you are making an informed purchasing decision. When you hire PGR for your general home inspection, know that I am here for YOU. We will spend as much time as needed to explain our findings and answer any questions that you may have about your buyer's home inspection in West Ashley, SC.
After I have inspected your home from bottom to top, you will receive your report that includes high-quality color photos depicting our findings the same day. Should you have questions relating to your report, simply give me a call after thoroughly reviewing it. At PGR Home Inspections, I strive to make this an enjoyable, informative experience that expands your knowledge and helps you understand building science.
Our general home inspections include:
- Unbiased top-to-bottom home evaluation, including hard-to-reach areas like crawlspaces and attics.
- Confirmation that all your utilities are in working order, like gas, electrical, and water.
- Verification that your crawlspace is accessible, and all livable areas may be accessed. This includes your electrical panel, water heater, HVAC system, and attic hatch.
- Reports delivered same day that detail any issues within your house and its systems or components.
- Free thermal imaging
- On-site wrap-up with plenty of time to answer your questions
Pre-Listing Home Inspections in West Ashley, SC
When you're selling your home, few things are as frustrating as a deal falling through due to maintenance issues. All too often, deals fall through because the buyer's inspector finds a significant issue that could have corrected earlier. Having a pre-listing inspection (or a seller's inspection) puts the control back in your hands. With a pre-listing inspection, you can get prepared for your sale by revealing any major defects in your home that need repairing. Having a pre-listing inspection saves you money, time, and reduces your overall stress levels in the long run.
By completing a pre-listing inspection, you can take as much time as you need to decide which repairs will increase your home's value the most. That way, you get the highest return on investment. By making these repairs on your own time, you can sift through several repair estimates and choose the one makes the most sense for your budget.
As you enter negotiations, you may present your pre-listing inspection as a token of good faith to interested buyers. Sharing your seller's inspection with potential buyers lets them get a look at the condition of your home. More importantly, it will let the buyer know how much money and work you have put into fixing your home's defects, which helps warrant your listing price.
If you want to reduce the time it takes for negotiations, save yourself money, and get the best price for your home, a pre-listing home inspection is a wise choice.
The benefits are endless when you hire PGR to complete a seller's inspection:
- Boost the chances of selling your home at a price that you can feel good about
- Manage any pre-existing defects or problems
- Put negotiating power back in your hands during closing
- Enjoy a smoother closing process
- Shorten the time it takes for funds to reach escrow
11th Month Home Inspection in West Ashley, SC
If you're thinking of having a new construction home built, it's easy to understand why. New homes are often more energy-efficient, come with all-new systems and appliances, and can be customized to your exact preferences. Buying a new home also means you won't have to make repairs or deal with the wear and tear that most older homes have. However, new construction homes aren't always perfect. So, when your home is finished, and your builder explains the one-year warranty on their work, it's wise to schedule an 11th month home inspection.
Much like a general home inspection, I take an investigative, non-invasive approach when we inspect your newly built home. I will evaluate all visible and accessible areas of your new construction home to spot any potential issues. I even use thermal imaging at no extra cost to you.
When I have completed your 11th month inspection, you will receive a shorter, comprehensive inspection report with color photos and information on any defects we discover. You may take this valuable information to your builder, who can then make any repairs necessary before your warranty expires. That way, any repairs needed are done on the warranty company's time.
Additional benefits of an 11th month home inspection from PGR include:
Homebuilders are aware that new construction homes can have defects. After all, there are many hands involved in building a house, including subcontractors you never meet. Because some flaws aren't obvious during the first year of living in a home, having an 11th month home inspection is a great way to protect yourself and your investment.
When you assume that your newly constructed home is void of defects, you could be setting yourself up for some nasty surprises down the line. For example, issues with your new home's systems might not reveal themselves until they malfunction. You will have to cover repair costs in cases like this because the builder's warranty has already expired. With PGR's 11th month inspections, I will ensure that your home's structure systems work properly. If they're not, you will have ample time to have any defects fixed before your warranty is up.
When you schedule your 11th month home inspection at the start of the last month of your warranty, you will have more time to submit a warranty claim. If you choose to wait until a few days before your warranty expires, you will be rushing to file a claim before your new home's warranty expires.

WEST ASHLEY, S.C. (WCSC) - Homeowners living along Lake Dotterer and the Church Creek Drainage Basin may soon feel a sense of relief with the first phase of a flood reduction project.
The body of water is surrounded by several neighborhood homes, a portion of Glenn McConnell Parkway and the West Ashley Park. It serves as a popular nature stop, but also a hotspot for flood-prone events.
“During large storm events, especially if there is a high tide, that water from Church Creek, or the tide coming from under Highway 61, can come over the berm into Lake Dotterer,” Stormwater Management Director Matthew Fountain said.
The city has approved the first short-term step of a multi-phase project to reduce flooding in the area, costing $116,500. The funding is also sourced from an agreement with Charleston County amounting to $790,178.81.
Over time, Fountain expects the project to reach a multi-million-dollar price tag, but they are starting small.
“We are going to look at things like increasing the height of the dam, improving the ability to have water flow out from the dam, restricting some of that tide coming into the lake, as well as adding storage into the lake or improvements in those neighborhoods that we are draining into the lake,” Fountain said.
Nearby residents have provided photos that show water seeping up into backyards and through fence lines. Some go back to the 2015 floods, while others are as recent as a few months ago

“We have to be smarter with growth, we have to make sure as we have properties being developed, that water can be held back,” Councilmember Kevin Shealy said. “We have some of the strongest, most strict rules as far as new construction going up along Church Creek Basin.”
Shealy hopes the project could be wrapped within two or three years. He asks homeowners to expect more crew presence in the area throughout the next few months, surveying and studying the area.
An early plan would have created pipelines under Glenn McConnell to drain water into Long Branch Creek, but crews determined it would not make strong improvements, and would create a mega-project over several years.
This new effort would separate the plan into studied portions and aim to build up long-term resiliency for the area.
“We need this remedied as quickly as we possibly can because we don’t know when the next storm is coming. We need that solution, we need that fix,” Shealy said.
The next phase, which will include the preliminary engineering work and an add-on contract, could be expected as soon as the next six months
