Home Inspection Knowledge
Common Home Inspection Findings
Every home has findings. The purpose of a home inspection is not to make a home seem scary, but to help clients understand which observations matter, which are routine maintenance, and which may require further evaluation.
Common Findings
- Roof wear or damaged shingles.
- Clogged gutters or drainage concerns.
- Plumbing leaks or aging fixtures.
- Electrical safety concerns.
- HVAC maintenance issues.
- Water heater age or installation concerns.
- Exterior grading or drainage issues.
- Window or door defects.
- Attic ventilation or insulation concerns.
- Moisture intrusion or previous water damage.
Context Matters
Not every finding is urgent. Some items are safety concerns, some are maintenance items, and some simply help buyers plan for future ownership costs.
