We love receiving feedback like this!

Buying a newly constructed home is a major investment, and “new” doesn’t always mean every detail was completed correctly. Chandler takes the time to inspect thoroughly, explain his findings clearly, and patiently answer his clients’ questions so they can move forward with confidence.

We’re proud of the inspector Chandler has become, but we’re even more proud of the way he genuinely cares for the people he serves.

Thank you to this client for trusting Chandler and for taking the time to share such kind words!

Whether you’re buying a brand-new home or one that has been loved for years, give Chandler a call at (478) 703-2360.

As a home inspector, it’s not often that I want to tell a client they need to walk away from a house.

But every now and then, you find a defect so serious that you have no choice…

I walked into the basement today and found Auburn gear everywhere. After what happened to Georgia last week, I’m not sure this condition can be repaired. 😂

In all seriousness, this is one impressive Auburn room—and yes, I managed to put my personal feelings aside and inspect the actual house fairly.

It wasn’t easy.

Go Dawgs!

Ah yes…the glamorous life of a home inspector. 😂

While everyone else is enjoying the house, I’m putting on coveralls, strapping a light to my bald head, and voluntarily disappearing through a hole in the floor.

Crawlspaces are dark, dirty, cramped, and occasionally occupied by creatures that do not contribute to the closing costs. But they’re also where some of the most important problems can be hiding—moisture, leaks, damaged framing, poor supports, ductwork issues, and electrical concerns.

It may not be the most enjoyable part of the job, but if there’s room to get in, I’m going in.

Because what you can’t see can still cost you.

A support pier that isn’t touching the floor system isn’t supporting anything!

During this inspection, we found multiple piers with visible gaps between the tops of the piers and the floor framing. The blocks were also dry-stacked—meaning they were placed on top of one another without mortar—and the piers were not installed on proper concrete footings.

A properly constructed pier should provide a solid, continuous path that transfers the weight of the floor system down to a stable footing and into the soil. The footing helps distribute that weight and reduces the risk of the pier settling or shifting.

Without proper footings, the blocks can sink or tilt. When they’re dry-stacked, they can also shift out of position. And when there’s a gap at the top, the floor isn’t receiving the support the pier was intended to provide.

Over time, these conditions can contribute to sagging or bouncy floors, cracks, sticking doors, and movement in the structure.

This is exactly why getting into the crawlspace matters. You can’t identify problems like this from inside the home alone. We recommended evaluation and proper correction by a qualified foundation professional.

Full disclosure: I’ve seen several inspectors use the haircut comparison, and I thought it was hilarious. My first thought was, “Well, I can’t use that—I’m bald.” 😂

Then I realized the lack of hair might actually make it funnier.

So here’s the bald-inspector edition. The idea may not be original, but the baldness is 100% authentic!

And the point still stands: You can buy a house without a home inspection—but just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

What a great day at the Clothe Our Kids Golf Tournament in Decatur, Alabama!

The tournament was hosted by First Priority, where Terry’s brother, Larry Franks, serves as executive director. We were honored to participate and support such a meaningful effort to provide clothing for children in need.

Terry Franks, LLC Home Inspections was proud to sponsor one of the closest-to-the-pin holes—and in a twist you couldn’t have planned any better, Terry stepped up and won closest to the pin on the very hole our company sponsored! 😂⛳️

Chandler also won closest to the pin on another par 3, and my son Hess took home the long-drive prize! Our crew had a pretty good day on the golf course!

The prizes were fun, but the best part was spending the day together, supporting family and helping make a difference for children in the community.

Thank you to Larry, First Priority and everyone who organized, sponsored, volunteered and participated in this incredible event. We were grateful to be a small part of it!

Georgia fans have been down this road before.

I’m not making predictions. I’m not saying, “We’ve got ’em this time.” I’m not even breathing confidently until the clock hits 0:00. 😂

No predictions. No trash talk.

Just beat Bama.

GO DAWGS! 🐶🔴⚫️

Apparently, short videos from real inspections are one of the best ways for us to connect with people on Facebook.

There’s just one small problem…

Terry and Chandler are both introverts and want absolutely nothing to do with being on camera. I’m a little different. I’ll introduce myself to a complete stranger at Walmart for no reason, and I have no problem talking with clients throughout an inspection—but point a camera at me and I suddenly forget my own name and why I’m standing there. 😂

Terry and Chandler have demonstrated tremendous courage and leadership by unanimously deciding that I should be the one making the videos.

So, if you start seeing me awkwardly talking to my phone from roofs, attics and crawlspaces, just bear with me. We want to show you what we find, explain why it matters and give you a real look at what goes into a thorough home inspection.

The videos may be awkward, but the inspections won’t be!

It was a rainy Monday for a new-construction inspection today, but when I realized I was inspecting a Driggers Construction Home, it honestly put a smile on my face.

Every home—even a brand-new one—will have items that need to be addressed. That’s simply part of the construction and inspection process. What sets a great builder apart isn’t claiming perfection; it’s having the integrity to listen, respond, and make things right.

That’s what I appreciate about Mick Driggers and his team. They care about the quality of their work, the people purchasing their homes, and doing business the right way.

As an inspector, I’m there to serve my client and report what I find—but it’s always encouraging to work with builders who see that process as another opportunity to deliver a quality home.

Thank you, Mick and the entire Driggers Construction team, for the integrity you bring to our industry!

We’re taking a quick break from crawlspaces, rooflines, and electrical panels to wish a very happy 45th birthday to Amber! 🎉

If you know our family, you know Amber is Terry’s daughter and Mark’s wife. She’s also an incredible singer, a hard worker, and someone who loves her family with everything she’s got.

We may be the ones you see out inspecting homes, but today we’re celebrating someone who means the world to us Happy birthday, Amber! We love you and hope you have the best day!
