ServiceMagic: Home Inspection Problems

[KnowYourRealEstate]

I agree. Leaky pipes are pretty common typically under sinks or at joints where cast iron meets pvc. And any time there has been upgrades to the electrical panel...most commonly found loose wires. With regard to the air duct system...no one ever cleans out their air ducts...a big mistake for a new homeowner, this should be done for the health of everyone in the home. Good video.

These top 5 tips are very common issues we find as we inspect homes in San Diego and Temecula. One big issue that was missed is to make sure your inspector is Certified. Understand that California home inspectors are not licensed, however, to ensure a "standard of practice" be sure your inspector is certified/affiliated PHII, CREIA, NSHI, ASHI or equivalent Inspectors. “Fireman Home Inspections”

A minor technical point - Ground fault circuit interrupters break the electrical circuit when there is a flow of electricity to ground, not if there is a 'surge'.

It is true! Homes with fewer problems look more attractive to potential buyers. As a seller, you want an edge in todays real estate market. Most buyers are looking for a functional and safe home to move in, not a project or a hobby. To find and fix all potential deal breaking deficiencies in your home, do a pre-sale inspection. The pre-sale inspection will give you the opportunity to tune-up your home to impress.

Another big problem to look for is kinked and compressed flexible duct in your attic. It causes restricted airflow and excessive energy useage. We used a product called FlexFlow Elbow that straps over the existing flexible duct and forms it into a 90-degree elbow. We got better airflow and used less energy.

One way I've found to solve the problem is to install a product called FlexFlow Elbow. They strap on over existing flexible duct to form a 90-degree elbow. Google FlexFlow Elbow to see.
