"One of the CSRA's fastest-growing cities — from the booming new subdivisions off Wrightsboro Road to families relocating for Fort Eisenhower, Tom Cely knows Grovetown's new construction and what to look for before you close."
Grovetown is one of the fastest-growing cities in the entire CSRA — and arguably the epicenter of Columbia County's new-construction boom. Just minutes from Fort Eisenhower and the Army Cyber Command, Grovetown has exploded with new subdivisions, drawing in military families, defense and tech professionals, and buyers priced out of pricier corners of the metro. From the developments stretching along Wrightsboro Road and the Gateway corridor to its small but growing historic downtown, Grovetown pairs affordability with rapid growth. AccuPro Inspection Services — owned and operated by Tom Cely, a South Carolina Licensed Residential Home Inspector (RBI 48737) and Certified Residential Mold Inspector — serves Grovetown and Columbia County, with more than 3,000 inspections completed across the CSRA since 2014.
Because so much of Grovetown's housing is brand-new construction, the single most valuable thing a buyer can do is have an independent inspector walk the home before closing. New homes are built fast, by many trades, and signed off by the same builder who hired them — and the municipal code inspection only confirms minimum requirements, not the quality and completeness you're paying for. With Grovetown growing as quickly as it is, that independent set of eyes matters more here than almost anywhere in the CSRA.
Even on a brand-new home, the CSRA's demanding climate creates issues worth catching early. Long, hot, humid summers strain HVAC systems and push moisture into attics and crawlspaces, while the region's expansive clay soils and fresh grading can create drainage problems that send water toward a new foundation. Fast-paced construction frequently leaves behind flashing gaps, grading and drainage shortcuts, HVAC balance issues, and rushed finish work a builder walk-through misses. As a Certified Residential Mold Inspector with 15+ years in construction quality control, Tom knows exactly where these issues hide. Call Tom at 706-840-4907 to schedule your Grovetown 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 Grovetown home inspection:
A must in fast-growing Grovetown — an independent pre-closing inspection catches builder oversights before you sign.
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 brand-new systems common in Grovetown builds.
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.

Answers to the most common questions Grovetown and Columbia County homebuyers ask before scheduling their inspection.
Absolutely — it's the single most valuable thing you can do in a new-construction market like Grovetown. "New" doesn't mean "flawless": homes are built fast by many trades, and the city's code inspection only confirms minimum requirements, not quality or completeness. Tom regularly finds items the builder missed — flashing, drainage, HVAC, and finish work — and documents them in a punch list you can hand straight to the builder before you sign.
Tom offers an 11-month builder's warranty inspection timed just before your one-year warranty expires. A new home's first year of settling and seasons reveals issues that weren't visible at closing, and a documented list lets you get covered defects fixed on the builder's dime before the window closes.
