Built for South Carolina Properties
From standard home inspections to highly specialized services, Carolina Property Inspections is equipped to handle every property type and situation.
Mold, radon, allergens, and airborne contaminants can be invisible dangers inside your home. Rusty provides professional indoor air quality testing to ensure the air your family breathes is safe and healthy.
South Carolina's well and municipal water systems can carry contaminants that aren't visible to the eye. Our water quality testing identifies bacteria, heavy metals, and other issues before they become serious health risks.
Mobile and manufactured homes require specialized knowledge and a different inspection approach. Carolina Property Inspections is certified and experienced in HUD-compliant mobile home inspections throughout Central South Carolina.
For properties with private wells, a well yield test is critical to understanding water supply reliability. We test well performance to ensure adequate water flow for your household needs — now and in the future.
As an FAA Part 107 Licensed Drone Pilot, Rusty provides safe, detailed aerial roof and exterior inspections — capturing high-resolution imagery of areas that are difficult or dangerous to access on foot.
Every inspection includes a comprehensive evaluation of the home's structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more — delivered in a clear, detailed report you can use with confidence during your transaction.
