One of the easiest and most affordable maintenance items you can do for your home is adding downspout extensions.

When your downspout is right next to your foundation it can cause moisture damage and erosion issues, so adding in these extenders can potentially save you thousands in the long run. Plus they are cheap and easy to install!

How often should you look in your attic and crawlspace? The true answer is as often as you can, but at the very least a couple times a year. Check for things like leaks, moisture damage, and fungal growth once during the warm months and once during the cold months.

If for any reason you’re not able to do that, we recommend having a local expert come out. Someone like a trusted pest control company can help you keep an eye on these items during their regularly scheduled visits and help you stay ahead of any maintenance issues.

We recently found a disconnected dryer vent in a crawlspace. When the vent isn’t properly connected, warm, moist air is released directly into the crawlspace, which can lead to high moisture levels and long-term damage.

This is why it’s important to check your crawlspace and attic every so often. A simple maintenance issue can turn into a much bigger problem if it goes unnoticed.

We found a little bit of a gap in the sheathing on a recent new construction inspection. We can’t tell exactly how far down it goes, but we are always chasing perfection on these new construction homes, so we’ll let the builder know so hopefully they can get it fixed and reduce the possibility of a future roof leak.

An unused electrical wire should never be left exposed like this.

Unless both ends of the wire are clearly visible, it should be properly capped with wire nuts and enclosed in a covered electrical junction box, or removed completely. Otherwise, it could create an electrical hazard.

We recommended that the buyer have this wire evaluated and properly repaired by a licensed electrical contractor.

A tool is just that, a tool. It’s only as  good as the context that you use it in. While these thermal cameras are super cool and a great tool for certain situations, we will not do a whole home scan with them because that’s just not what they’re designed for.

A firewall is a fire-resistant barrier between the garage and the living areas of a home. It is designed to help slow the spread of fire and smoke, giving the people inside more time to get out safely.

During a recent inspection, we found several issues that could make this firewall less effective. The drywall was damaged, and an entire section had been removed to create storage space. We also found a glass door between the garage and the home. The glass reduced the fire rating of the door, plus the door was not properly sealed. All of these factors could make the home more vulnerable in the case of a fire.

We recommended that the buyer have these issues evaluated and repaired by a qualified contractor so the firewall can provide the protection it was designed to offer.
