Hello, My name is…read moreAngelica and I have four children that I care for with one of them being permanently disabled. As a first-time home buyer, I was very excited to get our first home to raise our little ones in. I was recommended to have my home inspection completed by Purdy Home Inspections. I made a HUGE mistake, I paid Mr. Purdy in the amount of $385.00 to tell me everything that could be wrong with my potential new home. Upon moving in he missed important aspects of an inspection. When I moved in every sink in this home was leaking. I made a complaint and he sent a Plummer over to fix it. Although this was a temporary fix it did not fix the long-term issue. The Plummer advised me every sink in my home was done incorrectly and that it all needed to be replaced and redone. In the end, I spent over $600.00 to fix the now moldy vanity one month into moving in. Upon moving into my home every outlet needed to be redone due to electrical issues, a pipe was not even connected under the crawl space, and every time I ran my dishwasher it was flooded under my new home, three months into living in my home my roof started leaking to the point water was running down my walls. Mind you this was supposed to be a new roof when I moved in. On his inspection report, he states "Wetness hides flaws", I had my insurance company take a look at the roof they told me my roof was not installed correctly so they would not assist in replacing the roof or helping with the water damage. I had two roofers come over and advised me they did not understand how the inspector missed that my roof was installed so poorly. Due to how poorly my roof was done I was quoted $18,000 to replace my NEW roof in addition to that I began to have foundation issues with my home and constant flooding under the home. In his inspection report, there was no documentation to even show the humidity levels under the house so my pillar on the left side started sinking due to the water under the house. I called a foundation company who then came over and advised me over $26,000 in full capitalization of the crawl space under my home with a dehumidifier and a pump to keep water out from underneath the home. This has cost me so much money to the point I am struggling to even make my mortgage payment! I reached out to him multiple times to help and he ignored me. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN TO DO ANYTHING RELATED TO YOUR HOME!!!! WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!! Guess who is stuck with the debt and the problems.... ME AND MY FAMILY!! I have hired a different inspector to take a look to show him the things that were missed that did not matter either.

We are in the process of buying a second home to live in while remodeling our main residence. John…read morewith Prism did a fabulous, honest and thorough inspection of the home and found issues that were very serious and hazardous that we wouldn't have known about until it might have been too late. The inspection was peanuts compared to the shoddy, irresponsible work that had been done on a home, most likely all without permits and the possible risk of danger to our family. The report was one of the most complete, easy to read with pictures to show the problems and wad 104 pages! One of the sad parts to me is that the little house I fell in love with had too many costly and dangerous issues and we had to back out but the most important sad part was that someone would list a house without making the repairs or disclosing them because they were very hazardous. I sincerely hope they are fixed before the house goes back on the market or some family buys it without doing an inspection with Prism. Thank you, John and Prism, for having such ethical inspections that cover everything, whether it's cosmetic or something very hazardous. We will be using them again on the next house we plan to purchase.

I can't say enough good things about Dave of Advance Property Inspections. He does a thorough,…read moreprofessional inspection at a very fair price. I am a remote buyer, meaning that I live in New York but am buying place in Savannah and flew in for the inspection. I am also very handy when it comes to home repairs and maintenance. However, I still learned a lot just by following Dave around as he did the inspection. He was relentless, crawling in the tiniest spaces, pulling off panels, opening and closing all the windows. There is just one more thing to say, Dave is an honest guy who takes his work very seriously. I asked him for a recommendation for a contractor to do some painting and other small jobs, and he said that would be a conflict of interest if he recommended people. That shows a lot of integrity and that, above all, is what is important.

From the owner: At Advanced Property Inspection, we hold close the belief that home inspection is more a profession…read morethan just a business. We do one inspection a day and spend 2 1/2 to 3 hours on the property and another 3 hours composing the report. As a home buyer, it's important to know that in our beautiful state of Georgia, the home inspection industry is completely unregulated. Anybody with a flashlight can, and do, declare themselves to be a home inspector. Flashlight optional. Look at the individuals level of knowledge, relevant experience, and the experience that others have had with them to be sure you'll get a thorough and competent inspection covering all aspects of the property.

I'll start off by saying that The people I interacted with at HomeTeam were professional and…read moreprompt. However, that is where the good things I have to say end. The report we received contained more disclaimers about what the service and report DON'T cover and include than anything else. The "issues" that were found are trivial items compared to the two things (so far) that they completely missed that I would've expected to be found during a home inspection. I know not everyone is handy and knows what to look for when looking at a home, not everyone is familiar with the different systems in a house or code requirements or things like that but I'm confident that I would have been better off inspecting the house myself than wasting my money paying them to do it. The first miss I noticed immediately as I was reading the report and, I will grant them that the listing for the property incorrectly listed it as on public sewer, but they listed that in their formal report as well despite the house having a private septic system. I understand they are not a septic company and do not perform septic system inspections specifically, but I would hope that, at the very least, a verification of they type of waste disposal in the house would be done. Noticing that discrepancy threw the entirety of the rest of the report into question to me right off the bat but if there's no easy way to confirm it, fine. I'll let it slide. However, we've been in the house for a few weeks now and I finally got up into the attic to set up some storage for decorations and I noticed an electrical splice connection for one of the light fixtures below just sitting out in the open on top of the sheetrock ceiling. No box, just wire nuts connecting the leads from the fixture to the Romex wiring in the house... Not covered by anything, not hidden in the slightest, right out in the open and easy to see. I'm not an electrician, but I know that building codes require that connections like that be made in junction box or some kind of enclosure. THIS is the kind of thing that home inspections are for, not missing screws in a door hinge. I know there are limitations to what home inspectors can reasonably find. Things like rotting wood that's hidden in a wall or mold behind cabinets are things that aren't readily accessible and can't really be found unless you're doing demolition for a renovation or something. But especially after finding the electrical issue, I regret spending the money to have them perform the service.
