Discovering the true condition of a home before purchase is vital. Once you’re armed with the truth regarding the home, you can pursue these options:

• Adjust your offer to offset the costs of necessary repairs noted in the home-inspection report.
• Require the seller to repair any defects in the home before you proceed to settlement.
• Provided the other options aren’t satisfactory, walk away completely from the home.

Potential purchasers will often comment that they didn’t see any issues when they toured the home. Once again, InspectRite is looking at this home from an entirely different perspective. You fell in love with how it looks – we want to make sure it’s safe and free of defects.

Still not convinced? Here’s just a handful of major issues routinely spotted in homes by InspectRite:

• The residence has a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok circuit breaker panel – a fire hazard in several jurisdictions across the U.S.
• The home has been remodeled from the exterior wall inward, only to find that the home’s electrical system was not properly grounded.
• Previous termite infestations that had been treated, but continued yearly inspections by the exterminator had been cancelled years earlier.
• The ridge vent has been sealed with insulation material causing humidity levels in the attic to reach levels conducive to mold growth.
• Numerous electrical splices had been made in the basement or attic, none of which were enclosed in approved splices boxes. A major fire hazard.
