Inspecting in Dunwoody
What Your Home Inspector Looks For in Dunwoody Homes
Dunwoody's housing stock centers on the 1960s and 1970s. Census Bureau estimates show more than 40 percent of homes in the city were built in those two decades, the largest share of any era, in neighborhoods like Georgetown, developed in the early 1960s, and around Dunwoody Village, whose Colonial Williamsburg style dates to the 1970s. For buyers, that means original electrical panels, aging HVAC and water heaters, and older plumbing are common even in well-kept homes, and we check whether past additions or basement finish-outs were done to code.
Radon is the other question to settle before you buy. The county's UGA Cooperative Extension office reports that about 18.9 percent of homes in DeKalb County have elevated radon levels. Radon can't be detected during a walkthrough, so we recommend adding a test to any Dunwoody purchase; it runs during the same visit and a high reading can be brought down with mitigation.
Because so much of Dunwoody's housing is 50 years or older, we also pay close attention to the sewer lateral, the pipe that runs from the house to the street. Homes from the 1960s and 1970s were often plumbed with clay or cast iron, both prone to root intrusion and collapse over time. Our sewer video scope shows the condition of that line before you close, something a standard walkthrough can't catch.
| Type of home | What we pay attention to |
|---|---|
| Homes from the 1960s and 1970s | Original electrical panels, aging HVAC and water heaters, sewer lateral material and condition, and whether additions or basement finish-outs were permitted. |
| Georgetown and Dunwoody Village area homes | Age-appropriate systems checks on original ranches and colonials, plus the condition of any updates made over the decades. |
| Newer construction and major renovations | Grading and drainage, attic insulation and ventilation, and roof and flashing details we can check by drone. |
| Any home in DeKalb County | Radon testing, since about 18.9 percent of homes in the county have elevated radon levels. |

FAQ
Home Inspection FAQs: Dunwoody, GA
Are older homes in Dunwoody likely to have outdated electrical panels or plumbing?
Many are. More than 40 percent of homes in Dunwoody were built in the 1960s and 1970s, so original electrical panels, older plumbing materials, and aging HVAC systems are common even in updated houses. We check the panel, visible wiring, and plumbing material as part of every inspection.
Should I test for radon when buying a home in Dunwoody?
We recommend it. DeKalb County's UGA Extension office reports that about 18.9 percent of homes in the county have elevated radon levels. The test is an add-on to the same visit, and a high result can be brought down with mitigation.
