Some top issues found during a home inspection:
Structural problems, such as foundation cracks or framing issues can be significant concern. They can affect the home's safety and require substantial repairs.
Common roofing problems found during a home inspection range from missing or damaged shingles to more serious concerns like leaks or structural damage.
Plumbing issues can range from leaking pipes or outdated systems which can lead to water damage and costly repairs. Major problems, like broken sewer drains or clogged pipes, severely restricting a home's water flow.
Electrical problems may consist of old or improperly installed electrical systems which are safety hazards. Home inspections can often uncover issues like outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or improper grounding.
HVAC system problems are with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning which can be costly to fix and will affect the comfort and air quality of the home. Common issues are dirty filters, improper flue installation, dirty coils, unlevel pad, cracked heat exchanger, and broken condenser.
Blocked gutters or downspouts play an important role in keeping the home safe from water intrusion. If the gutters are blocked and not diverting water away from the home, it will settle near the home's foundation. Over time, erosion will occur, and foundation cracks will develop.
Poor window installation, cracks, old windows or windows that are not energy efficient are some reasons windows let drafts in. Drafty windows can raise energy bills and make the home uncomfortable.
