"Spacious homes on acre-plus lots, deer on the lawn, and a quiet country feel between San Antonio and New Braunfels: Daniel Windler brings a Master Plumber's eye and 35 years in the trades to every Garden Ridge inspection."
Garden Ridge is a small, residential city in Comal County on the northeast edge of the San Antonio metro, known for its large lots, rural atmosphere, and abundant wildlife. The city was built around the idea of room to breathe, with most homes set on an acre or more among native oaks and cedar, and deer grazing in front yards is an everyday sight. Homes range from ranch-style houses built in the 1970s and 1980s to large custom homes, many with pools, workshops, and landscaped grounds. ATD Property Inspections, owned and operated by Daniel Windler, a TREC Licensed Professional Inspector (#21665) and licensed Master Plumber, serves buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Garden Ridge.
Large lots usually mean the home handles its own wastewater. Many Garden Ridge homes rely on septic systems rather than a city sewer, and a failing drain field can be one of the most expensive surprises a buyer faces. Daniel is a certified septic inspector and licensed Master Plumber, so he can evaluate the septic tank and drain field during the same visit as the home inspection.
Bigger homes on bigger lots also have more systems to check. Pools and spas, automatic irrigation systems covering an acre of landscaping, multiple HVAC units, and detached workshops are common. Daniel's credentials as a certified pool and spa inspector and backflow prevention tester let him cover the whole property in one trip. He also looks closely at foundations on the area's mix of limestone and clay, and explains every finding in plain language with no unnecessary alarm and no sales pressure.
