"Lake country at the edge of the CSRA — from Savannah Lakes Village and the shores of Clarks Hill to historic homes in town, Tom Cely brings SC-licensed, experienced home inspections to McCormick County."
McCormick sits at the northern edge of the CSRA, where small-town South Carolina meets the shoreline of Clarks Hill (Thurmond Lake). Anchored by the historic downtown and the large Savannah Lakes Village community on the water, McCormick County draws retirees, lake-home buyers, golfers, and those seeking a quiet, scenic pace within reach of Augusta and Greenwood. AccuPro Inspection Services — owned and operated by Tom Cely, a South Carolina Licensed Residential Home Inspector (RBI 48737) and Certified Residential Mold Inspector — serves McCormick and McCormick County, with more than 3,000 inspections completed across the CSRA since 2014.
Because Tom holds a South Carolina residential inspector license, McCormick buyers get an inspector properly licensed right where they're buying. McCormick's housing is distinctive: alongside historic homes in town, you'll find lakefront and lake-access homes in Savannah Lakes Village and along the Clarks Hill shoreline, plus country properties on acreage. Many are bought by out-of-area buyers and retirees who don't know the local quirks — which is exactly why an experienced, independent inspector who understands the area is so valuable before you commit.
McCormick homes also face the CSRA's demanding climate, and lake and country properties add their own wrinkles. Long, hot, humid summers drive moisture into crawlspaces and attics, where poor ventilation can fuel mold growth and wood rot, while expansive clay soils and wet-and-dry cycles can stress foundations and drainage — and proximity to the lake only raises the stakes on moisture management. Country and lake properties may also rely on septic systems and well water worth understanding as part of your due diligence. As a Certified Residential Mold Inspector with 15+ years in construction, Tom walks every McCormick home thoroughly and explains every finding in plain language. Call Tom at 706-840-4907 to schedule your McCormick 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 McCormick 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 systems common in lake and country 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.
