A home inspection is one of the most important parts of the home buying process, because it will let you know if there are any problems with the home. When getting a home inspection, it is important to make sure you know what could be a serious or expensive problem. Look out for these common problems during your home inspection.
- Sloping grade. If the land around the home is sloping towards the home, it can lead to wet crawlspaces, or cracking of the foundation.
- Electrical wiring. It is not uncommon for older houses to use extension cords to run power through different rooms, but it is very dangerous, and can be expensive to fix.
- Roof issues. A roof that was not properly installed can potentially mean that the entire roof has to be replaced, which can cost thousands of dollars.
