About Baywater Property Services
Baywater Property Services is a division of Baywater Custom Builders — bringing decades of luxury construction expertise to non-destructive moisture testing, mold remediation, and property services for homeowners across Savannah, the Lowcountry, and South Carolina.
This Service Didn’t Come From a Franchise. It Came From Experience.
Baywater Custom Builders has spent years constructing and renovating some of the most carefully built homes in the Savannah area and the Lowcountry. In that time, Casey Ricks Jr. heard the same concern from clients, neighbors, and community members again and again.
Second-home owners at The Landings. Families with a marshfront property on Isle of Hope that they visit a few weeks a year. Tybee homeowners who lock up after Labor Day and don’t come back until spring. People with a significant investment in a place they genuinely love — and no reliable way to know it was being looked after properly while they were away.
When we take on a property under Baywater Property Services, we treat it the way we’d treat one we built ourselves. Because in some cases, we did.

Three Contractors Missed It. Thermal Imaging Found It.
“A homeowner at The Landings on Skidaway Island had lived with a recurring ceiling leak for over a year. Three different contractors had already been out, each with a different theory, and each repair held for a while before the stain came back. When Baywater was called in, they didn’t start with a guess — they started with a forensic evaluation. Thermal imaging and commercial-grade moisture mapping traced the real source: water was entering at the window flashing and being compounded by runoff from an adjacent shed roof, working its way into the ceiling cavity from two directions at once.”
Third-Generation Builders. Lifelong Lowcountry Professionals.
Casey Ricks Jr. grew up in the trade. As part of a third-generation building family, he learned early that a home is not just a structure — it is where families live, grow, and build the kind of life that takes decades to settle into.
When our team walks through your home on a weekly inspection, they are not checking items off a clipboard. They are looking at your property the way a builder does — understanding how the systems interact, what the coastal climate does to materials over time, and what early signs look like before a minor issue becomes a significant one. That knowledge is not something you acquire from a certification course. It comes from a career spent building, renovating, and maintaining homes in this environment.
We don’t guess, we document. Every forensic evaluation follows a certified, industry-standard process, from safety and documentation through to source control and correction, so you get a clear record of what’s actually happening inside your home, and an intelligent solution instead of an assumption dressed up as a repair.
