Types of defects in the home:

• Hidden defects are behind the walls, on the roof or out of site inside the furnace and under crawl spaces. Professional home inspectors might not spot all signs of termite damage, faulty wiring and improper roofing
• Visible defects are out in the open for buyers to see. Some visible defects are below:
  • Moisture: water stains on ceilings, damp basement walls or musty odors are all signs of possible water damage
  • Cracks in walls might mean nothing, but all cracks should be investigated by a professional, especially cracks in foundation walls
  • Uneven floors: floors that are not level could mean the house is sinking.
  • Loose doors: Look for light coming in around and under exterior doors. These might need insulation or refitting
  • Condition of Heating and Air Conditioner
  • Water Pressure

If you need a recommendation for a home inspector email us and we can provide you a few home inspectors for you to choose.
