Question:  “What are some issues found in home inspections?”

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.

Sometimes additional inspections by specialists in a certain field are recommended to get more information which may include costs of repairs. The most common are:

  • Air conditioning
  • Pool equipment
  • Cisterns
  • Roof
  • Structural
  • Appliances
  • Electrical
