Top 3 home inspection warnings to watch for
If you’ve finally found a Tucson home you love, it can be tempting to hurry and sign on the dotted line to make it yours. But if you rush through the home inspection process, you could miss out on areas that need major repair and can cost you hundreds down the line. Before you close on your home, don’t forget the top 3 home inspection warnings to watch out for.
1.) Solid Structure: If you or your home inspector finds warning signs such as un-level flooring areas, cracking walls, shifted framing, or doors that don’t close then there may be more to the structure than meets the eye. Even signs like cracks in the foundation can indicate serious structural problems that could house issues from improper construction techniques to water and termite damage. Make sure the foundation is included in the home inspection process.
2.) Rough Roof: Some home inspectors don’t physically go on the roof to check it out and look for signs of wear from the inside or from ground only. From ground level, a roof could look just fine. But a few new shingles and a good ceiling paint job can sometimes cover the subtle signs of a leak or other damages note Tucson property managers. If you’d like a more thorough roof inspection, you may want to consider hiring a licensed roofing contractor if your home inspector is unable.
3.) Troublesome Toxins: If you’re in the market to buy a home in Tucson, you may want to follow your nose before you close, especially if you’re purchasing an older home. Make sure your home inspector tests for toxins such as mold, lead paint, radon, and asbestos. Tucson property managers advise that hidden toxic warnings like these can cost thousands of dollars to remove later and are detrimental to your health.
