What is a CL-100?
Now, let’s talk about the CL-100. If you’re in the process of buying or selling a home in South Carolina, you’ve probably heard this term. The CL-100 is an inspection required by lenders in South Carolina on properties being purchased with financing. It’s a crucial part of the real estate transaction process, protecting both the homeowner and the entity financing the property.
Why is a CL-100 Important?
The CL-100 inspection focuses on key areas that could affect the structural integrity of the property. It checks for termite damage, moisture issues, water damage, mold, and fungus. Any of these problems can have a significant impact on the home’s structure and, by extension, its value. Failing this inspection can derail a home sale, causing delays and financial stress.
One critical factor the CL-100 examines is the moisture level in the crawlspace. Moisture levels must be below twenty percent to pass. As I often say, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This saying perfectly sums up the importance of the CL-100. It’s much easier—and cheaper—to prevent issues like high moisture levels, mold, or termite damage than to fix them after they’ve caused your home to fail the inspection.
The Consequences of Failing a CL-100
Let me share a real-world example of the consequences of failing a CL-100. A recent client had their home under contract and had already picked out their new home. However, they failed the CL-100 inspection. What should have taken just a few days ended up dragging on for nearly a month. The inspector had to re-inspect the property and submit their findings to the lender, which delayed the entire transaction.
Although Array of Solutions was able to correct the issues causing the failure in just one day, the paperwork and legal processes slowed everything down significantly. The time and money that could have been saved if the issues had been addressed earlier were instead lost to delays and frustration. I remember talking to the frantic seller no less than four times in one day, reassuring her that she would pass her CL-100 because Array of Solutions had completed the job. Despite being on vacation, I made sure she knew we were on top of the situation.
