The best way to find out about potential safety problems is to hire a professional home inspector to perform a thorough home inspection. You might be surprised to learn that there are safety issues that need your immediate attention.
Wiring Problems
Inspectors usually find that your wiring is too old or not properly insulated. There’s also a higher chance of poor wiring when homeowners did DIY electrical work. If this is the case, your home inspector might advise you to have a qualified electrician take a look at your system.
Poor Grading & Drainage
This issue leads to cracked concrete slabs, walls, structural damage, and water leaks in the basement. Structural damage due to water leaks is a significant issue that needs to be addressed soon because it may lead to hazards and costly repairs.
Inadequate Ventilation
Ventilation is sometimes not considered a major issue but in reality, it can be a major safety hazard. A lack of good ventilation usually causes molds and mildew, and it can cause respiratory issues.
Damaged or Old Roofing
If your roof is not regularly maintained, you will not be aware that it needs to be fixed or upgraded until it might be too late. The reason could be that it is too old or has been damaged by changing seasons and temperatures. Roofing damage can be both home maintenance and a safety issue.Blown off shingles might strike someone, or vermin that manage to get into your attic could spread disease in your household.
