Lake Murray waterfront and near-water homes
Water changes the inspection. On Chapin's lake lots we pay particular attention to grading and runoff on sloped sites, retaining walls and hardscape movement, crawlspace and basement moisture, deck and screened-porch ledger attachment and railing height, exterior finishes weathering hard on the lake side, and HVAC systems that carry a heavier humidity load. Larger custom homes here often have complex rooflines with valleys and dormers, where flashing detail failures start small and stay hidden until you're replacing sheathing.
