What to Expect During a Home Inspection in Georgia — A Guide for Buyers and Sellers

Buying or selling a home in Middle Georgia? Whether you're in Macon, Warner Robins, or Perry, a professional home inspection is one of the smartest decisions you can make. This guide walks you through the process and explains what to expect from your inspection—and from your inspector.

Who Needs a Home Inspection?

If you're a buyer, a home inspection gives you peace of mind and leverage during negotiations. For sellers, a pre-listing inspection can prevent last-minute deal breakers. Investors also rely on inspections to protect their return on investment, especially in foreclosures or rentals.

What a Home Inspection Covers

At Taylor Home Inspections LLC, we evaluate every major system in the home:

• Roof and attic

• Foundation and crawlspace

• Electrical system

• Plumbing system

• Heating and cooling systems

• Water heater

• Exterior siding and grading

• Doors, windows, insulation, and more

Expect a thorough top-to-bottom review, always tied to the InterNACHI Standards of Practice.

Common Problems Found in Middle Georgia Homes

Our region has its own quirks. Here are just a few issues we regularly encounter:

• High moisture in crawlspaces, often due to poor ventilation or missing vapor barriers.

• Improper DIY wiring in older homes and flips.

• Aging HVAC systems struggling through Georgia summers.

• Termite damage or signs of past infestations, especially in homes with wood siding.

Knowing these issues up front can save thousands.

How to Prepare for the Inspection

Sellers: Clean up, clear access to the attic and crawlspace, and disclose any known issues.

Buyers: Plan to attend the inspection. Bring a notepad, camera, and your questions. This is your time to learn about the home.

What Happens After the Inspection?

You’ll receive a detailed digital report, usually the same day. It will include:

• Observations

• Implications

• Recommendations

You can use the report to request repairs or negotiate price. Realtors love working with us because our reports are clear, concise, and built for fast decision-making.
