Common Problems FOund During a Home Inspection

I have been inspecting houses for a long time, and I guess I don’t mind when I am called “old school”. Houses are old school to a seasoned home inspector, mainly because even though building methods and materials have changed over the years, the most common defects found during a home inspection remain about the same. So, here is a little old school on the ten most common problems found in our homes:

Roof Problems
Electrical Safety
Poor Drainage
Environmental Hazards
Failing or Aging Heating and Cooling Systems
Deferred/Improper Maintenance
Plumbing Problems
Inadequate Ventilation
Deck and Porch safety
Rotted Wood


Join my next blog for more details, and maybe a story or two.
