Experience With Historic, Luxury, Custom & Hill Country Homes
Homes throughout Blanco County range from historic residences and modern custom homes to ranches and luxury Hill Country estates. While every property is unique, several regional conditions are commonly evaluated during our inspections.
Foundation Performance
Blanco County's combination of limestone bedrock, expansive clay soils and varying elevations can influence long-term foundation performance. During the inspection we visually evaluate accessible areas for observations such as interior drywall cracks, uneven flooring, doors and windows that bind, brick veneer separation, visible foundation cracking where accessible and evidence of previous foundation repairs.
Roofing Systems
Hill Country weather exposes homes throughout Blanco County to hailstorms, high winds, heavy rain, intense sunlight and seasonal thunderstorms. Our inspectors visually evaluate accessible roofing materials, flashing, valleys, roof penetrations, chimneys where applicable, general visible wear and drainage patterns.
HVAC Systems
Reliable heating and cooling are essential throughout the Texas Hill Country. Our inspections include a visual evaluation of accessible heating operation, cooling operation, thermostat function, airflow, condensate drainage and visible ductwork.
Plumbing & Electrical Systems
Whether inspecting a historic home in Blanco or a luxury estate near Johnson City, our inspections include a visual evaluation of accessible water supply piping, drain piping, plumbing fixtures, water heaters and visible leaks, plus the main electrical service, distribution panels, branch wiring, receptacles, GFCI/AFCI protection and visible grounding and bonding.
Drainage & Site Grading
Proper drainage is especially important throughout Blanco County due to rolling terrain, limestone formations and periods of heavy rainfall. Our inspectors visually evaluate accessible site grading, surface drainage, gutters, downspouts, drainage swales where visible and areas where water may collect around the foundation. Visible drainage observations are documented in the inspection report.
Private Wells & Onsite Wastewater Systems
Many rural homes throughout Blanco County rely on private utility systems rather than municipal services. Depending on the property's location, buyers may encounter private water wells, onsite wastewater treatment systems (septic), propane systems, water storage tanks and detached utility buildings. Our standard inspection includes a visual evaluation of accessible components within the TREC inspection scope; specialized well and septic evaluations should be completed by qualified professionals when requested or recommended.
