Beyond the Basics: Detailed Home Inspections in Woodstock, Canton, Cumming & Alpharetta, GA That Catch What Others Miss
🏡 Unveiling the Hidden Story Behind Every Home
Hey there — I’m David Lelak, owner and certified home inspector with IHI Home Inspections.
If you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a home in Woodstock, Canton, Cumming, or Alpharetta, GA, let me share something most people don’t realize:
A home inspection isn’t just a quick checklist — it’s a full investigation into how your property truly performs, from roof to crawlspace.
Every home tells a story, and my job is to make sure you hear the whole story before you make big decisions.
🧱 Roof-Top Precision: Why I Walk 99.9% of Roofs Myself
When it comes to home inspections, details matter.
That’s why I personally walk nearly every roof during my inspections — something few inspectors still do.
Being up there in person lets me detect what a drone or zoom lens simply can’t:
Hairline cracks in shingles
Hidden flashing separation
Subtle dips in decking that signal future leaks
Roof problems can turn into thousands in repairs. My approach ensures you know what’s coming before it becomes an emergency.
🕵️♂️ Beyond the Basics: Checking the Hidden Areas That Matter Most
I go where many inspectors won’t — attics and crawlspaces.
These tucked-away areas often hold the secrets to a home’s true condition.
Here’s what I commonly uncover during Woodstock and Canton inspections:
Moisture or rot weakening floor joists or subflooring
Pest infestations hidden behind insulation
Disconnected ductwork reducing HVAC efficiency
Old or unsafe wiring running through attic rafters
If you’re a buyer, knowing about these issues early can protect you from future headaches.
If you’re a seller, identifying them first can give you leverage before listing your property.
💡 Why Home Inspections Matter More Than Ever in 2025
Homes today are built smarter — but they also rely on more complex systems.
That means more opportunities for hidden issues if not inspected thoroughly.
In 2025, energy efficiency, smart wiring, and building science all play a role in how your home performs.
That’s why my inspections include both traditional structure reviews and modern system evaluations, such as:
✅ Roof and attic ventilation assessments
✅ Electrical panel and grounding checks
✅ HVAC efficiency and duct inspections
✅ Infrared moisture scanning (available in upgraded packages)
✅ Air quality and radon testing for full safety coverage
