"From the lake homes along Thurmond Lake to the acreage of McCormick County — Tom Cely brings SC-licensed, mold-certified expertise to every Clarks Hill home inspection."
Clarks Hill is a lakeside McCormick County community that lends its name to Clarks Hill Lake (J. Strom Thurmond Lake) — one of the largest lakes in the Southeast and a magnet for waterfront homes, weekend retreats, and retirees. Surrounded by the lake and countryside near the Georgia line, Clarks Hill draws buyers who want water access, recreation, and quiet living within reach of the greater CSRA. AccuPro Inspection Services — owned and operated by Tom Cely, a South Carolina Licensed Residential Home Inspector (RBI 48737) and Certified Residential Mold Inspector — serves Clarks Hill and McCormick County, with 3,000+ inspections completed across the CSRA since 2014.
Because Tom holds a South Carolina residential inspector license, Clarks Hill buyers get an inspector who is properly licensed right where they're buying. Lake homes bring their own considerations — docks, moisture, seasonal use, and varied construction — which makes an experienced, properly licensed local inspector especially valuable for knowing exactly what you're purchasing.
Clarks Hill homes face the CSRA's heat and humidity, intensified by the lake, which drive moisture into crawlspaces and attics where poor ventilation can cause mold growth and wood rot. Lake and older homes can hide aging electrical, original plumbing, dated HVAC, and layered repairs, and many use well and septic. As a Certified Residential Mold Inspector, Tom walks every Clarks Hill home thoroughly and explains it plainly. Call Tom at 706-840-4907 to schedule your Clarks Hill 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 Clarks Hill 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 older Clarks Hill 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.

Based just across the river in Evans, GA, he personally serves Clarks Hill and McCormick County, and is also a Certified Residential Mold Inspector.
Clarks Hill's older homes have real character — and can hide aging electrical wiring, original or galvanized plumbing, dated HVAC systems, and decades of layered repairs of varying quality. Tom's 15+ years in construction and decade-plus inspecting CSRA homes means he knows exactly where the issues tend to hide.
The CSRA'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 a buyer would never spot on a casual walk-through but that can be costly if left unaddressed.
