What We Look for in Older Homes
There’s a distinct beauty often found with older homes that resonates within their architecture and overall exterior design. One of the biggest goals we have when performing older home inspections is to ensure preservation of all the distinct construction and design details that make the house unique. In order to do so, we thoroughly examine all aspects of the home, including inspecting the foundation, roof, sewer, plumbing, and electrical systems, to ensure everything is as intact as it can be.
With older homes specifically, there are a variety of other potential risks and hazards that are more commonly found than compared to recently constructed houses. This can include any of the following issues:
- Dangerous materials such as asbestos or lead paint
- Mold, moisture, or mildew accumulation
- Insect, rodent, or other pest infestation
- Structural or foundation deformities
- Energy inefficiencies, and more
The bottom line is that we approach inspecting old homes the same way we approach any of our real estate or commercial inspection projects: with a neutral, objective perspective that’s only intended to provide expert analysis on any deemed necessary areas of housing improvement.
