Our Answer:
The issues found during home inspections can vary. Some of the problems Inspectors look for are:
- Structural or foundation problems.
- Windows and doors operating correctly.
- Safety issues such as too few smoke alarms, or tripping hazards in floors or staircases. This could include cracked or missing tiles in the floor.
- Potential problems in a home’s exterior, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, cisterns, pool equipment, air conditioning, and interiors.
