6 Reasons to get a Home Inspection before you buy a Clearwater Home
Some people think expensive defects will be obvious. However, a lot of expensive defects are hidden and take some investigation to uncover. For example:
1. Roof Roof problems can be difficult to spot from the outside. The surface of a roof may look good, but you may find defects once you look at the other side of the roof and find stains, mold, or even where insects and rodents have gnawed away at the support members of the roof.
2. Plumbing Some of the most costly problems to fix are with the system that brings fresh water in and the system that takes sewage out. Inspectors look for telltale signs of problems during the inspection.
3. Electrical Many home owners buy a home and then find there is not enough power to operate your appliances, lights, tools, washer, dryer, etc. In addition, it is not uncommon to find outdated fixtures that can cause shocks or worse.
4. Heating and Cooling The systems that supply the warm and cool air to your home are expensive to replace or repair, and the inspection includes an examination of these systems to make sure they function and are not underpowered.
5. Outside Wood If the home has wood anywhere on the outside, the condition of this wood is an indicator of good maintenance or of problems that need to be repaired. Some indications of problems here are stains, mold, insects and rodents.
6. Foundation Problems Homes are built on a foundation which holds up the home. Many times an inspection will reveal that the foundation has superficial problems, or these problems may be serious enough to cause cracks in walls, doors that won't close properly and floors that will be uneven. In some cases, these problems reveal that when the home was built, the ground beneath it was not well prepared causing major problems that are costly to repair.
