| Home Inspection Warning Signs
A home inspection is an essential step in the Buying
Process. A Seller is obligated to disclose to the Buyer all known facts that affect
the value of the home and that may not be readily noticed. But there are often defects
that the Seller does not know about. A licensed and certified Inspector can uncover
structural and system problems that may have significant bearing on the price you pay for
your new home.
It is a good idea to accompany the Inspector when he examines the home. As he works you
can be on the lookout for the following warning signs that may indicate costly problems:
 The Roof:
stained or sagging ceilings
peeling plaster
missing or cracked roof tiles
The Heating System:
abundance of repair stickers indicating
multiple service calls
lack of service history
The Plumbing and Electrical Systems:
bathtubs and sinks do not drain well
extra-long extension
cords in use
appliances that
don't appear to be functioning properly
The Outside and Yard
cracks in the foundation
pooling water from improper drainage
soil instability indications such as warped
doors, locks that don't engage
properly, sloping floors
indications of a possible easement on the
property
potential noise problems such as proximity to
commercial businesses
Pet Problems:
noticeable odors or carpet stains
proximity to homes containing barking dogs
