Inspecting in Duluth
What Your Home Inspector Looks For in Duluth Homes
Most of Duluth was built during one specific stretch, and that's what we look for first. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey shows almost 58 percent of the city's homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s, when Duluth grew rapidly along with the rest of Gwinnett County. Houses from that window are old enough that original roofs, water heaters and HVAC systems are at or past typical service life, and many were plumbed with polybutylene supply pipe, a plastic pipe used nationwide from 1978 to 1995 that is prone to failure. We check for it and note its condition.
Duluth is bounded on the north by the Chattahoochee River, and the city includes some lower-lying lots near the river and its tributary creeks. On those properties we pay closer attention to site grading, gutter and downspout discharge, and moisture in crawlspaces and basements, since water management matters more on a river-adjacent lot than on a typical subdivision lot.
Gwinnett County's own reporting has put 22 to 28 percent of tested county homes at significant radon levels. Radon can't be seen or smelled during a walkthrough, so we recommend testing on any Duluth purchase; it runs during the same visit as the inspection.
| Type of home | What we pay attention to |
|---|---|
| Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s (most of Duluth) | Roof, water heater and HVAC age, and polybutylene supply plumbing common to that construction window. |
| Lots near the Chattahoochee River or area creeks | Site grading, gutter and downspout discharge, and moisture in crawlspaces and basements. |
| Newer subdivision and infill homes | Grading and drainage, attic insulation and ventilation, and roof details we check from our drone. |
| Older homes from the 1960s and 1970s | Original electrical panels, aging plumbing, and roof and deck condition. |

FAQ
Home Inspection FAQs: Duluth, GA
Why do you check for polybutylene pipe in a Duluth home?
Almost 58 percent of Duluth's housing stock was built in the 1980s and 1990s, according to Census Bureau data, which overlaps with the 1978-1995 window when polybutylene supply pipe was widely installed and later found prone to failure. We check for it on every inspection of a home from that era.
Should I test for radon when buying a home in Duluth?
We recommend it. Gwinnett County's own reporting puts 22 to 28 percent of tested county homes at significant radon levels. The test is an add-on to the same inspection visit.
How much does a home inspection cost in Duluth, GA?
Home inspection pricing depends on the size, age, and location of the property, plus any add-on services like radon or mold testing. Contact us for a free, personalized quote.
How long does a home inspection take?
A standard home inspection usually takes 2 to 4 hours for an average-sized home. Larger, older, or commercial properties can take longer.
What's included in a home inspection?
A home inspection covers the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, and safety systems, plus infrared thermal scanning and drone-assisted roof imaging when applicable.
Should I attend my home inspection?
Yes. Attending lets you walk the property with your inspector, ask questions in real time, and see any issues firsthand instead of only reading about them in the report.
Do you offer same-day or next-day scheduling?
In most cases, yes. With a full team of certified inspectors, we can often schedule your home inspection within 24 to 48 hours of your call.
What happens after the inspection?
You'll receive a detailed, photo-documented digital report within 24 hours. Our team is available afterward to answer any questions about findings or next steps.
