Nothing Like Rain For A Good Home Inspection

Nothing like rain for a good home inspection and we have had plenty of it this week!

When it rains, it really comes down and that is actually a wonderful time for a home inspection, especially if the roof inspection has already been completed before the downpour begins. That was the case today, my inspector was off the roof when it began and we were able to check everything out to make sure there were no issues, especially around the front door. Thanks to the rain, we did see more water pooling on the pavers than should have been, so it is an item the builder will have to address this week.

Good morning Barbara-Jo. Wow, that is some serious rain and there could certainly be some challenges with an inspection, but no matter what, you will work through all of it.

It's good for the buyers, Barbara-Jo.  Sometimes not so good for the inspector on a wet roof.

All of the rain will certainly expose any leaks.

Have a great day and an outstanding week.

yes, this rain was good for the buyers! The inspector was finished on the roof before the rain began to come down heavily.

Barb, Problems show up when the rains are coming down heavily. They show up on the outside and inside.
