Gainesville Home Inspection Uncovers Hidden Issues Buyers in Woodstock, Alpharetta, Cumming & Canton Should Watch For
Before You Close: Here’s What a Gainesville Home Inspection Just Revealed
Hi there, I’m David Lelak from IHI Home Inspections, and if you're buying a home in Woodstock, Alpharetta, Cumming, or Canton, this real-life inspection story from Gainesville might save you thousands—and a major headache.
I recently inspected a home in Gainesville, GA 30504, and what I found during that visit is exactly why a professional home inspection is a step no buyer should skip.
What I Found (That You’d Never Notice on a Walkthrough):
Loose Gutters
These looked okay from the ground, but up close? The attachment points were pulling away, increasing the risk for water infiltration near the foundation.Soffit & Fascia Deterioration
These weren’t just cosmetic problems. This kind of damage can invite moisture, pests, and even structural rot—especially in older homes.Leaking Bathroom Fixtures
Under-sink valves and faucet bases were slowly dripping. Over time, that kind of leak can ruin cabinetry, flooring, and encourage mold growth behind the walls.AC Coil Leaks
A big one. The HVAC system was underperforming because of refrigerant loss—causing higher energy bills and reduced cooling efficiency. This isn't just inconvenient—it's expensive.
These weren’t glaringly obvious issues. But as a certified home inspector serving Cumming, Alpharetta, Woodstock, and Canton, I’ve trained my eye to spot the things most people miss.
Why Skipping a Home Inspection is Risky (Even in Hot Markets)
In today’s fast-paced real estate market, some buyers are tempted to waive the inspection to speed things up. Please don’t.
Here’s what a thorough inspection gives you:
Leverage to negotiate repairs
Clear understanding of future maintenance costs
Protection from post-closing surprises
Peace of mind that you didn’t miss a deal-breaker
This isn’t just true in Gainesville—it applies to every home I inspect in Alpharetta, Cumming, Canton, or Woodstock.
