inspectors are
good at their jobs but they are not above missing some things because
they are human. There are several things that home inspectors have
been known to miss during a home inspection so you might want to keep
your eyes open and pay close attention during the inspection so that you
don’t end up having to pay for expensive repairs once you move in to
your new home. A few
things that may be missed by your home inspector are below.
- Inspectors
do not always go over all the bells and whistles of a home and
appliances are on the list of things they do not always pay a lot of
attention to. The last thing you want is to move into your new home to
find out that you have a leaky dishwasher that needs to be replaced. If
you want to make sure appliances have not been overlooked you may want
to check them yourself.
- Leaky faucets are also things that can
be overlooked by home Take your time to walk through your soon to be new
home and check the faucets for leaks just in case your inspector may
have missed something. It’s a good idea to check outdoor faucets as
well.
- Cracked sewage and drainage pipes might also be something
that your inspector doesn’t take a look at and may therefore miss. It
may be worth your while to pay a bit of extra money to have an in depth
look at your drainage pipes.
- Sometimes home inspectors will not
pay a lot of attention to decks, porches and balconies. There can be
problems in these areas such as safety issues and cracks that may not
arise until right before you make the purchase of the home. Perhaps a
second follow up inspection may be a good idea if you feel that one of
these areas may be a potential problem.
Again,
home inspectors are human and they are not above missing some potential problems
with your new home. Realize this fact before you have your home
inspection so that you too can keep your eyes open for any potential
problems you see in and around your prospective new home. Once you move
in you will be able to rest assured that you have not bought into a
money pit.
