Most Common Flags During An FHA Inspection

By
Home Inspector with ComfortSpec PA

     An FHA inspection is a home inspection done for a specific mortgage backed by the federal government. There are specific guidelines that a home must meet, with a strong emphasis placed on safety. The most common flags raised during an FHA inspection include: missing electrical outlet covers, chirping or missing smoke detectors, uneven walkways outside leading to the home, lack of functioning windows (cracked, or will not open because they were painted shut, etc.), lack of water and/or hot water and missing handrails for decks and stairs and porches. These items, for the most part, do not cost a lot to re-mediate but can cause unnecessary delays that may prevent you from closing on time. To aid in getting your property closed on time, ComfortSpec carries in their toolbar an array of outlet covers, junction box covers, electrical panel block of plates and more. If we see a missing outlet cover or electrical panel, we will replace it, free of charge. This is just another example of how we, at ComfortSpec, offer a tremendous value for home buyers when it comes to their most expensive purchase. We thank you for reading this and look forward to making sure your home inspection is done right so you can have peace of mind. Be comfortable with ComfortSpec.
