Most Common Issues Found During Home Inspections
Below is a list of some of the most common issues we find while performing home inspections in Northern Illinois.
1. Faulty wiring—open junction boxes, amperage mismatches, no wire nuts on wires.
2. Poor grading and drainage— spongy soil around the foundation, signs of leaking in basement, excessive moisture near foundation and in basement.
3. Faulty gutters—clogged or bent gutters, water not channeled away from house. Pair that with poor grading and your home could be facing serious water in your basement or crawl space.
4. Basement dampness—water stains, discoloration or a powdery like residue on walls, mold or mildew.
5. Roof problems—brittle or curled shingles; broken or missing flashings.
6. Foundation flaws—cracks in foundation, sloping floors, sticking doors or windows.
