"From the historic Winter Colony estates and downtown's tree-lined parkways to the horse country on the edge of town — Tom Cely brings SC-licensed, local expertise to Aiken home inspections across the CSRA."
Aiken is the jewel of the South Carolina side of the CSRA — a city with a character all its own. Famous for its Winter Colony heritage, equestrian tradition, and the canopy of live oaks shading downtown's parkways, Aiken blends historic charm with a steady stream of newcomers drawn by its quality of life, downtown revival, and proximity to both Augusta and the Savannah River Site. From grand historic homes near the Hitchcock Woods to newer subdivisions spreading toward the highway corridors, Aiken offers remarkable variety. AccuPro Inspection Services — owned and operated by Tom Cely, a South Carolina Licensed Residential Home Inspector (RBI 48737) and Certified Residential Mold Inspector — serves Aiken and Aiken County, with more than 3,000 inspections completed across the CSRA since 2014.
Because Tom holds a South Carolina residential inspector license, Aiken buyers get an inspector who is properly licensed right where they're buying — not someone reaching across the state line without local credentials. Aiken's housing runs the full range, from century-old homes in the historic district to brand-new construction, and with many buyers relocating from out of state for jobs at the Savannah River Site and beyond, having a knowledgeable, properly licensed local inspector matters more than ever for knowing exactly what you're purchasing.
Aiken homes also contend with the CSRA's demanding climate and varied housing stock. Long, hot, humid summers drive moisture into crawlspaces and attics, where poor ventilation can fuel mold growth and wood rot, while the region's sandy-to-clay soils and wet-and-dry cycles can stress foundations and create drainage problems. The area's beautiful older homes can hide aging electrical, original plumbing, and decades of layered repairs. As a Certified Residential Mold Inspector with 15+ years in construction, Tom walks every Aiken home thoroughly and explains every finding in plain language. Call Tom at 706-840-4907 to schedule your Aiken home inspection.
Every inspection is a complete top-to-bottom evaluation performed personally by Tom Cely, following the ASHI Standards of Practice. Here's what's covered on every Aiken home inspection:
AccuPro's most-requested service — a complete, impartial evaluation so you know a home's true condition before you buy.
Roof, flashing, foundation, and structural evaluation — accounting for the CSRA's storms, humidity, and shifting clay soils.
Panel, wiring, outlets, and grounding evaluated throughout — including the aging systems common in historic Aiken homes.
Supply lines, drains, fixtures, water heaters, and visible piping — checked for leaks, age, and moisture concerns.
Heating and cooling systems evaluated for the CSRA's long, hot, humid summers and milder winters.
The spaces where CSRA homes hide their biggest issues — moisture, mold, ventilation, insulation, and pests.

Aiken's historic district and Winter Colony homes have wonderful character — and can hide aging electrical wiring, original or galvanized plumbing, dated HVAC systems, and decades of layered repairs of varying quality. They're well worth it for the right buyer, but they deserve an experienced inspector. Tom's 15+ years in construction and decade-plus inspecting CSRA homes means he knows where the issues hide.
Aiken's hot, humid climate drives moisture into crawlspaces and attics, where poor ventilation can lead to mold growth and wood rot over time. As a Certified Residential Mold Inspector, Tom pays special attention to these areas — the moisture and ventilation issues that a buyer would never spot on a casual walk-through but that can be costly if left unaddressed.
