Have you heard a thumping sound coming from your ceiling or roof lately? You look for a leak but never find it. Somehow or other, you keep finding water spots on the floor in really odd places. You even have water collecting under your sink, and your heater and air conditioner burned out. Why is this happening, you ask? You continue to wait for a time when you will find out what is happening, but you are still confused. You don’t understand how the water damage is piling up in your house. You’ve been on your roof to look but nothing surfaced. Instead of giving up and living with water damage, you should hire a house inspector to do the job.
Have you had to spray more than usual for insects and bugs? If you have, you probably thought it was just the garbage or change in seasons. One day, however, you notice that there is a string of small insects crawling across your countertop—adult critters and baby ones, too. The adults may not scare you as much, but the babies should: they indicate that new life is “hatching” in your home. At this point, it is time to call a house inspector for a thorough examination.
An inspector is someone whose job it is to examine every corner, ceiling, room, roof, door, window, and basement of a home for problematic issues such as insect infestations, leaks, electrical wiring risks, extensive water damage, health hazards, mold, indoor air quality, window insulation and energy efficiency, and so on. If an inspector finds insects (multiple) crawling on the floor or in a corner while he is in the home, he may decide to test for an insect infestation while present. If there are leaks of any sort, the house inspector may travel to your roof to see if there are any holes that need to be patched up, or roof shingles that may be missing or blown off the roof.
The inspector will also check your windows and heating and cooling systems to see if you are losing money due to energy loss each month. If your windows are not insulated properly, they could be the source of some of your financial troubles. Indoor air quality is another item to check for when examining a home. If the air quality is bad, you could be suffering from unnecessary allergy issues or facing bad health. When indoor air starts to affect your health, it is time to do something about it—before you spend additional money on medical bills that you cannot afford.
