When buying a home, it’s important to have the home inspected for any defects or issues that could potentially cost you money down the line. But what are inspectors actually looking for? Here’s five items to consider.
1. Water Damage
Inspectors will look for signs of water damage, such as stains on ceilings or walls, musty odors, or warped flooring. Water damage can indicate leaks or other issues with the plumbing or roof.
2. The Roof
They’ll check the roof for any signs of damage or wear and tear, such as missing or cracked shingles.
3. The Foundation
Inspectors will look for any cracks or other issues with the foundation, as this can be a major and expensive issue to address.
4. Signs Of Pests
They’ll check for signs of pests such as rodents or insects, including droppings, gnaw marks, or damage to wood or other materials.
5. The Electrical And Plumbing Systems
Lastly, inspectors will ensure that the electrical and plumbing systems are up to code and in good working order.
