Most homeowners think “home maintenance” means changing an air filter and mowing the grass. But summer in Georgia is no joke — heat, humidity, heavy rain, and overworked systems put real strain on your property. If you’ve never had a professional home maintenance inspection, July is the time.

At Taylor Home Inspections, we offer a full summer-ready inspection that goes beyond the basics. Here’s what we actually check — and why it matters.

✅ Exterior Systems

Roofing
We check for lifted shingles, nail pops, soft decking, clogged valleys, and early UV damage — all of which get worse under summer sun and storm activity.

Gutters and Drainage
Backed-up gutters don’t just overflow. They dump water right at your foundation and crawlspace. We check for clogs, slope problems, downspout length, and signs of trenching.

Siding and Trim
Heat and rain expose bad caulking, swelling wood, and compromised paint. We catch it before moisture does damage.

Windows and Doors
Warped frames, cracked seals, foggy glass, or deteriorated caulking can destroy your home’s efficiency and invite pests.

✅ Interior Systems

Attic and Insulation
We inspect ventilation, look for signs of heat buildup, verify proper insulation, and check for rodents or mold — common in poorly vented attics.

Ceilings and Walls
Cracks, stains, and buckling materials tell us what your house is doing behind the scenes — especially around bathrooms, HVAC, and rooflines.

Plumbing
Under-sink connections, exposed supply lines, water heater TPR valves, and signs of leaks are all included. Summer heat can accelerate corrosion and expansion in older plumbing.

HVAC Performance Check
We inspect the filter, blower compartment, visible ductwork, condensate drain line, refrigerant lines, and airflow at registers. Weak performance in July means bigger trouble ahead.

✅ Crawl Space and Foundation

Humidity & Moisture
If your crawlspace humidity is above 60%, you're on the clock. We measure moisture content and identify venting problems, insulation failure, or drainage issues.

Structural Supports
We inspect piers, columns, and joist spans for sagging, movement, or mold — all common in the summer due to soil shifting and trapped heat.

Pest Entry Points
We look for daylight, loose vents, or openings around pipes — rodents and snakes don’t take summers off.

✅ Safety Systems

Smoke & CO Detectors
Tested at every location. We don’t just push the button — we verify battery life, placement, and age of units.

Electrical Panel & GFCIs
We check for overheated breakers, missing GFCI protection, rust inside the panel, and signs of amateur wiring — all serious summer fire hazards.

Water Heater
Checked for leaks, sediment buildup, and proper temperature setting — especially critical in high-use months with guests or short-term rentals.

🛠 Why It Matters

Homeowners spend thousands every year on repairs that could’ve been avoided with a timely maintenance inspection. Summer stress exposes hidden problems. This inspection isn’t fluff.  It’s peace of mind from someone who actually crawls under houses and looks behind the drywall.
