You found the house of your dreams, and you have scheduled an appointment with a home inspector in Lakeville. The home inspector inspects the home and finds some problems. What are some of the biggest red flags a home inspector can find while taking a look at the home?
Plumbing and Drainage Problems
There are a variety of problems that poor drainage and plumbing can cause. Wet basements and crawl space, wood rot and mold growth are all things that could be a result of drain issues. Sometimes these are also a result of damaged or missing gutters. Make sure the drainage issues are remedied before you agree to anything.
Bad Foundation
Another aspect of the home the home inspector will look at is the home’s foundation. If it is cracked or crumbling, the repairs could cost a pretty penny. Seeing as the foundation is the basis for your home, a solid foundation is definitely important!
Wiring that is Outdated
Not only is faulty wiring a hassle to get repaired sometimes, it can also lead to a house fire. If your home inspector sees a problem with the home’s wiring, it is best to get an electrician in to look and see how bad the problem is.
