Structural Problems
A good home inspector should be able to detect any major problems with the structure of the home. This includes things like foundation cracks, sagging floors, and uneven walls. These types of issues can be very expensive to repair, so it’s best to avoid homes with structural problems.
Pest Infestations
Pests like termites, ants, and rodents can cause a lot of damage to a home if left unchecked. During a home inspection, your inspector should be looking for any signs of an infestation. If they find evidence of pests, it’s best to avoid buying the home — or at least negotiating a deal that gets rid of the pest problem for good.
Dangerous Mold
Mold can cause some major problems for homeowners, including health issues, so it’s important to be on the lookout for it during a home inspection. The inspector should be checking for signs of mold in the basement, attic, and other areas of the home.
Electrical Issues
Electrical problems can be a major safety hazard and can be very expensive to repair. During the home inspection, your inspector should be checking the wiring, outlets, and other electrical components of the home to make sure they are all up to code.
