Roofing Problems 

Issues with roofing material are the single most common defect we find. Usually it doesn't mean the roof needs replaced, simply that it is in need of maintenance or repair.

​

Ceiling Stains 

Caused by past or present leaks, ceiling stains are very common. It can be difficult to tell whether the stains are from leaks still present, or were caused by leaks which have since been repaired.

 

Electrical Hazards 

Most common in older homes, but often found in newer homes as well. Electrical hazards come in many forms, from ungrounded outlets to wiring done incorrectly by the homeowner.

 

Rotted Wood 

Caused by being wet for extended periods of time, most commonly found around tubs, showers and toilets inside, or roof eaves and trim outside.

 

Water Heater Installations 

It is not uncommon to find that a water heater has been installed unsafely.

 

Gas Furnace 

Most gas furnaces seem to be in need of routine maintenance such as new filters and cleaning. Many have other issues such as faulty operation or inadequate fire clearance as well.

 

Plumbing Defects 

Plumbing issues commonly found include dripping faucets, leaking fixtures, slow drains etc... Even in brand new homes, it is common to identify minor plumbing defects.
