Things we find

We inspect a lot of homes in South Carolina. Typically, we know what is normal and what is surprising, and some of the pictures we’ve taken tell stories that would surprise the home owners or buyers. Many of these items would never have been found without a comprehensive inspection.

Below are some of the images that surprised us – issues that potential home buyers or sellers can’t afford to miss. Our comprehensive home inspection can be a major benefit by uncovering issues that would otherwise go unnoticed. Contact us today for an inspection from Lindey Home Inspection Service!
