I hired him to do an inspection before my 11 month new home warranty. He was here exactly on time, did an extremely thorough job and was here over 2 1/2 hours. Sent me a detailed report with pictures the same afternoon. Very pleased - would highly recommend. read more

NEVER HIRE THEM - Feel free to message me for additional proof that everything I have said in this review is accurate. I hired Bridgewater Home Watch to inspect a home for me that I was buying in Myrtle Beach, SC. I was purchasing the home remotely from California so the inspection service was critical. After taking possession of the home Bridgewater failed to inspect and report on all of the following major items about the house that cost me over $10,000 to repair. When I requested my money back their insurance company made every excuse in the book to not refund my money. IMy only option to recover losses is a lawsuit. 1) One of the three HVAC heat pumps was not even turning on and the compressor had to be replaced. He reported a 2 degree temperature difference at the air handler but never went outside to verify the compressor was coming on. Air handlers have emergency electric heating coils. Duh 2) Front foyer marble floor has huge chips and holes in it, so bad that flooring repair companies will not even repair it but only replace. 3) Master bedroom 4 inch R20 ceiling can lights had bulbs obviously hanging down out of the cans, When I went up there to check it out, the bulbs and sockets fell out in my hand. The sockets were rusty completely off the wire with the line wires exposed inside the cans. Sockets had been Jerry rigged with PVC pipe to connect socket to light bezel. MAJOR fire hazard. 4) 3 of the 5 bathroom toilets had completely rusted off toilet tank bolts, the tanks were loose and ready to fall off and one tank was leaking a gallon of water a day on the floor. 5) All 3 garage doors had entire 1 foot sections of the bottom door rubber seal completely missing. 6) All 5 outdoor wall sconce light fixtures had paint that completely had rotted off the fixtures. 7) Entire vinyl fence line had bottom rails sagging so much that in many sections the upright rails were falling out. 8 ) House has 65 windows with 35 2 inch faux wood blinds of which half of the blinds had missing wands, broken tilt mechanisms, broken slats and at $150 each to repair/replace was a huge amount of money to repair them. 9) Master bath has very loud pipes banging in the wall when you run the shower hot water for more than 5 minutes. 10) One exterior door lock was not functioning preventing the house from being properly locked up. Door between house and garage lock not working. 11) Huge $5,000 BBQ appliance had rusted shut drawers and grates completely rusted through and appliance was completely unusable. 12) One of the 2 electric water heaters did not have required expansion tank installed. 13) Tray ceiling light strip had section of strip not lighting up. Upon inspection found the plug on the light strip was connected to the house romex wires by splicing the romex wire and looping the bare wires around the light strip plug prongs. Romex is supposed to be terminated in an electric box with a plug socket. Major fire hazard. 14) Rear patio door obviously had missing safety chain causing door to swing and slam into wall. 15) One bedroom closet had obvious shelf torn off and missing. 16) Alarm system panel had obvious "low battery" flashing warning on the monitor screen. 17) Huge and obvious candle wax stains on the rubble stone fireplace and fireplace hearth. Wax was not removable and hearth stone must be honed down to remove the stains. Very expensive repair. 18) One rain gutter was completely buried in the ground preventing rain water from properly flowing out the bottom of the gutter. Bridgewater Home Watch is completely and utterly incompetent to provide home purchase inspection services. Alan Myrtle Beach, SC read more

Bridgewater Homewatch was recommended to me by multiple people who utilized them for both resale and new construction home inspections. Bridgewater did 2 inspections for me and the first one was so thorough it saved me from buying a home with many, many issues that would have been overlooked by most other inspectors according g to what they offer. Because of thermal imaging and the comprehensive report, I was able to make an educated and well informed decision to not buy the property. I then had Bridgewater inspect the second property of my choice and made the decision to purchase due to the confidence I had in the home inspection report. Thank you for taking the time to answer questions and provide a timely and comprehensive report! We recommend Bridgewater to everyone! read more

I reseached about 9 other companies seeking someone for a home inspection for our possible new home to be. After reading their company bio i knew this was the company i wanted to try.Let me also say we just moved to SC about 1.5 months ago and know but maybe 2-4 people. Now like any company you hire words on their site look great but you never know what your getting. I spoke to the company secretary who is also the wife of this family owned company. She was absolutely delightful and while explaining to me what type of work they give you i could feel the passion she had and the confidence in her husbands work ethic and it blew me away. The day came for our home inspection and i like to arrive early at the residence and when my wife and I arrived 10 minutes early he was already on the roof and started. He was very personable, outgoing and asked if i had any questions right off the bat. He did his thing and went to each and every nook and cranny of the home using all the most updated tools needed to do his job. He made sure we saw what was going on and explained as he went when needed. He made us feel completely comfortable and did not rush to get finished. Not for a second did he rush his job. He was very detailed, full of information and just amazing.His report was also done within 24hrs as promissed. He was extremely nice to the home owner and us. He did his job to the fullest and all we can say is we are so grateful we chose Bridge Water Home Watch. If you need a home inspector i strongly recommend this company. Thank you for making our experience as good as it could have been and for reminding us that there are good companies still out there in this world who care about their work and their clients. Thank you so very much, Scott and Mary read more
