Problems We Find on our Inspections
|
Serious problems we discover on our inspections (including new construction) may surprise you. Without a thorough home inspection, these might not have been found:
- Structural defects that could cause failure over time
- Water lines leaking under the floor without the homeowner knowing it
- Improper or overloaded electrical wiring that could cause a fire
