A Home Inspection: An Invaluable Tool
A Home Inspection can be an invaluable tool when buying a new home. That is especially true when your "new home" is an "old home." Most buyers are not equipped with the knowledge about what "red flags" to look for in older homes. That's where you should leave it to the professionals. Mike at Tri-County Inspections is an experienced and licensed home inspector serving all ten counties in the greater Cleveland area. As the owner and lead inspector he has completed over 1,000 home inspections. He genuinely loves to help buyers in their journey to owning a new home and even further understanding that new home.
An old home can come with an array of hidden problems merely from its age. If you don't catch some of these issues you may be stuck with the costly repair and updates of some major features. Galvanized pipes for example were a staple in all homes starting in around 1960. While they were a good choice for about 30 or 40 years, after that some major issues start to become evident. Some of these issues you would not want to deal with in your new home would be: rust build-up, low pressure and leaks, and health risks. This is just another reason you need a trusted home inspector on your side.
