I’ve dealt with hundreds of Port St Lucie home inspections over the years.

In the course of those inspections, I’ve noticed that many of them reveal some common issues.

Here are a few common home inspection issues typical to Port St Lucie and the Treasure Coast.

  • Disconnected HVAC ducting
  • Wood decay
  • Leaking faucets
  • Settlement crack in tile flooring
  • Broken & cracked windows
  • Clogged dryer vent
  • HVAC service needed 
  • Missing roof shingles
  • Missing roof flashing
  • Leaking ridge vent on roof
  • Missing window screens
  • Inoperable GFCI outlets
  • Garage door openers with defective auto-reverse
  • Dangling hot wire in attic
  • Pitting pool surface

Some of these items are minor and some can cost a new home owner thousands of dollars to repair or replace. Finding your dream home is more than just riding around and looking at houses. It is important to get a thorough home inspection and solid repair estimates before moving ahead with escrow.
