Top 5 Issues Found During A Home Inspection

As the Owner of EC Home Inspections there are issues we find almost daily in the field.  While every home is different, in general most homes we inspect all have essentially the same type of issues.  This list has been compiled after looking over the last few years and hundreds of our Home Inspections.  This is the top 5 issues found during a Home Inspection. This is a checklist style article. I will be explaining the issues you should look for.




1.  Electrical-
Make sure all outlets, GFCIs, switches work properly.  Burnt out light bulbs should be replaced.



2.  Water and Plumbing-

Drippy faucets, leaking plumbing, water damage and mold are red flags for greater problems.



3.  HVAC-

Replace filters as needed.  HVAC tune up service will help identify any issues that should be repaired.



4.  Windows-

Windows should open and close freely and be free of cracks and fogging between panes.



5,  Doors-

Doors should open, close and lock properly.  Garage doors must have working safety features.
