Real estate has many styles, materials, and ages of homes. Each home inspection yakima wa reveals something new. We have seen many Yakima Valley homes and can tell you that some defects are more prevalent than others.
You should inspect your Yakima property before you put it up for sale. You can avoid disagreements about what needs to be done after the buyer inspects your home.
EXHAUST VENTS
Mould can be caused by kitchen and bath vents, often leading to the attic. Properly vent exhaust vents to the outside.
ROOF FLASHING
Poor diverter flashing can cause water to drip near the foundation of a home. This could lead to serious structural problems.
HOT WATER HEATER ISSUES
Bad discharge can lead to corrosion and other problems in water heaters. Many water heaters don’t have a seismic strap. This secures the heater and protects against a possible disaster.
OPEN GROUND OUTLETS
Older homes may not have ground wire attached to their outlets. These outlets can be distinguished by the two-hole configuration of older grounded outlets, as opposed to the three-hole version.
OUTDATED PLUMBING
Galvanized pipes are common in homes built before 1960. These pipes can corrode over time, leading to water quality and lower water pressure.
