🐜 Why Get a Termite Inspection?

1. Termite Damage Can Be Expensive
    •    Termites cause over $5 billion in damage annually in the U.S.
    •    Repairs often aren’t covered by homeowners insurance.
    •    Structural damage can be hidden behind walls, floors, or foundations—and cost thousands to fix.

2. They Might Already Be There
    •    Homes can have active infestations with no visible signs.
    •    A professional termite inspection looks for:
    •    Active termites
    •    Mud tubes
    •    Wood damage
    •    Conditions that invite infestations (like moisture or wood-to-soil contact)

3. Peace of Mind + Negotiation Power
    •    If termites are found, you can:
    •    Ask the seller to treat the infestation
    •    Request repairs for any damage
    •    Renegotiate the price or back out before closing

4. Protects Your Long-Term Investment
    •    Even if no termites are found, the inspector may recommend a preventative treatment or annual monitoring.
    •    This protects your home and helps you avoid surprise damage years down the road.

🔎 When to Get One:
    •    During the inspection or due diligence period—before you finalize the purchase.
    •    Some lenders (especially VA loans) require a clear termite report.

💩 Why Get a Sewer Scope Inspection?

1. Hidden, Expensive Problems
    •    Sewer lines are underground—out of sight, out of mind.
    •    But if there’s a break, root intrusion, sag (belly), or blockage, you won’t know until it backs up… into the home.
    •    Repairs can cost $3,000 to $20,000+, depending on depth and location.

2. Old Pipes = High Risk
    •    Homes built before the 1980s often have cast iron or clay pipes that can crack, corrode, or collapse.
    •    Even newer homes can have issues from poor installation or nearby tree roots.

3. Insurance Usually Won’t Cover It
    •    Most homeowner insurance policies don’t cover pre-existing sewer problems or gradual damage.
    •    A inspection now can save thousands in repairs later.

4. Negotiation Power
    •    If issues are found, you can negotiate repairs or request a credit from the seller

5. Peace of Mind
    •    Even if everything looks good, you’ll have documentation and confidence that the system is working properly.

🏠 Best Time to Get One
    •    During your due diligence or inspection period, alongside your general home inspection.

🚫 Common Issues Found:
    •    Tree root intrusion
    •    Cracked or collapsed pipes
    •    Grease buildup or blockages
    •    Offset pipe joints
    •    Improper materials

☢️ Why Get Radon Testing?

1. Radon Is a Leading Cause of Lung Cancer
    •    Radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer in the U.S. (after smoking), according to the EPA.
    •    Long-term exposure to high radon levels significantly increases your risk—even in non-smokers.

2. You Can’t See or Smell It
    •    Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the ground.
    •    The only way to know if it’s there is through testing.

3. Georgia Has High-Risk Zones
    •    Much of Georgia, including areas around Decatur and Atlanta, are in moderate to high radon zones.
    •    Any home, regardless of age or style, can have high levels—even homes next door to each other can vary widely.

4. Testing Is Easy and Inexpensive
    •   It can be done during your regular home inspection and only takes 48 hours.
    •   If elevated levels are found (above 4.0 pCi/L), a radon mitigation system can usually be installed for a fee by a radon mitigation company.

5. Negotiation Power
    •    If the home tests high, you can request the seller install a mitigation system or negotiate a credit toward it

🏊‍♀️ Why Get a Pool & Spa Inspection?

1. They’re Expensive to Repair
    •    Pools can have hidden issues that cost thousands to fix:
    •    Cracks in the shell
    •    Leaks
    •    Pump or heater failure
    •    Electrical problems
    •    Damaged plumbing or filters
    •    A simple inspection can help you avoid surprise costs after closing.

2. Safety Is a Big Deal
    •    Inspections check for up-to-code safety features, including:
    •    Fencing & gates
    •    Alarms
    •    Anti-entrapment drain covers (per federal law)
    •    Especially important if you have kids or plan to rent the property.

3. Equipment Doesn’t Last Forever
    •    Pumps, heaters, salt systems, and filters all wear out over time.
    •    An inspection can tell you:
    •    How old the equipment is
    •    If it’s working correctly
    •    If it will likely need replacement soon

4. Hidden Leaks Can Drain Your Budget
    •    A small leak can lead to sky-high water bills, structural damage, or sinkholes.
    •    Leak detection is part of a thorough pool inspection—and not something you’ll notice in a quick walkthrough.

5. Negotiation Power
    •    If issues are found, you can ask the seller to make repairs or request a price reduction or credit
