No screens on dryer vents, I dont understand why builders keep installing them.

Fire Hazard: Lint gets caught in the screen mesh. Over time, this traps highly flammable lint directly at the exhaust point, drastically increasing the risk of a dryer fire.
Blockages: A clogged screen prevents the dryer from properly exhausting moisture and hot air, which can damage the dryer's heating element and significantly increase drying times.

⛔️Don't Block Cold Room Vents!

Cold room vents are designed to allow fresh air circulation and help maintain cool temperatures while reducing excess moisture. Blocking these vents can lead to poor ventilation, increased humidity, condensation, mold growth, and even damage to stored items.
Keeping the vents clear helps your cold room function as intended and protects your home from unnecessary moisture-related issues.

High water pressure may feel great in the shower, but it can silently damage your plumbing system. Excessive pressure puts added stress on pipes, fixtures, and appliances, increasing the risk of leaks and costly repairs. A simple pressure test can help identify problems before they become expensive surprises.

What buyers should look for on their final walk-through?
-all agreed repairs were completed (if applicable).✅️
-from street view look for missing shingles ✅️
-leaks under sinks and toilets ✅️
-appliances included are still there and working ✅️
-house esthetically remains the same (damages).✅️
-hvac in working condition ✅️
-doors ,windows, lights are functioning ✅️
garbage and personal belongings are removed ✅️

Is very important that final walk-through happens not a week before but a day or 2 before closing date , not only allows the seller to do their homework also the condition of the home is unlikely to change.

If there's an industry/trade that needs a reset its definitely real estate. In times where interest rates are high, stability uncertainty, bidding war which in my opinion should be illegal and house cost insanely high, people have become too passive. Why in the hell should your right to inspect the biggest investment of your life taken away? You waive inspection to get the house?WRONG. Stop doing it,no inspection? move on, find another one. You have the right to know what you're buying, if its good or bad its only up to you to decide, dont let you' heart take control, its an investment and it needs to be protected. #calistohomeinspector #LocalHomeInspector #tips #realtor #homebuyers

Stop being passive and dont skip inspections.

J-channel are not meant to start vinyl siding, first of all it doesn't even lock in the vinyl at the bottom also does not allow water to drain , it only serves to collect debris. It can be used on board and batten vinyl siding and still holes have to be made for drainage. This is a very common installation defect observed. Looking good doesn't mean its good.

Any electrician knows that panels are required to be labeled, not only easier for an electrician or homeowner work safely around the home it is also faster to identify which breaker controls what in an emergency situation.

The AC suction line is insulated to keep refrigerant cold, improve efficiency, and prevent condensation. Without insulation, the line can sweat, waste energy, and reduce cooling performance. Damaged insulation is a small repair that can help lower energy costs and prevent moisture problems.

Old appliances last much longer than the new ones, for an 18 year old ac unit it works like a charm. Only it needs is some maintenance and it'll be ready for few more.

The amount of insulation in the attic is dictated by climate zones and cambridge homes should have minimum 16 inches of insulation to keep efficiency standards. Low in insulation means high bills. Consider to top up you attic insulation if its much less than that.

A little condensation during extreme cold can be normal, but frequent or excessive moisture may indicate ventilation or insulation issues worth addressing before bigger problems develop. Also a failed window seal, insulated windows have an airtight seal that traps insulating gas between glasses, when that seal breaks moisture gets inside, fog or condensation also appears.
Windows can be very expensive, if you see this on a walk-through, budgeting for new windows must be considered.

A small exterior issue today can turn into a major repair tomorrow. Loose flashing,gutters, damaged fascia, or moisture intrusion around the roofline may seem minor, but if left unchecked, they can lead to wood rot, water damage, and costly structural repairs. A home inspection help catch the little problems before they become big expenses.
#calistohomeinspections #roofrepair #HomeSafety #maintenance

Clogged gutters may seem minor, but they can lead to major home damage. When leaves and debris block proper drainage, water can overflow and damage the roof, fascia, siding, and foundation. Overflowing gutters can also cause basement leaks, wood rot, and mold growth. Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance help protect your home from costly repairs while ensuring rainwater flows safely away from the structure. A home inspection can identify clogged or damaged gutters before small issues become expensive problems.
