5 OFten IgnOred thIngs tO LOOk At BeFOre BuyIng A hOMe Although the aesthetics of a new home is a vitally important element to consider, there are a few more things that should be examined when viewing your prospective homes. While size of a home matters to many people, you should ensure that there are no underlying potential problems that can cost you a grave amount of money aer you buy. By making yourself aware of any possible unforeseen issues, you will be able to eﬀectively work the financial details into your purchasing budget, hire the right help or even request a decreased sales purchase price, to cover the cost of these repairs. 1. Foundation Foundation cracks generally start small and continue to grow and expand over time if le untreated. is occurs as a result of continuous water pressure on the basement walls, which can also spread to other areas of the home, such as your house’s frame, flooring, ceiling and walls. e cracks can be eﬀectively sealed with the appropriate products, if applied properly. It is important to hire a professional to assess the situation and take the correct measures. Concrete has variations in chemical properties, therefore there are no DIY cure-alls when it comes to the repair of your concrete.

2. Floors Issues with the floors may not always be noticeable. Here are a few signs that there may be foundation damage that has begun to aﬀect your floors as well: Uneven floors, slopping or sagging floors; Cracks in ceramic or vinyl tiles or concrete floors; Hearing a cracking or popping sounds when you walk across the floor; Keep in mind, you can’t solely rely on the seller to disclose these problems because they too may be unaware. Hiring a qualified and accredited inspector is usually highly recommended by a real estate agent.

3. Mold & Moisture Keep your eyes open for any suggestions of water damage, such as mold, mildew, damp areas or evident leaks, which may be seeping through the cracks. Mold anywhere in your home can be potentially dangerous. If you don’t notice any visible mold and want to be sure that the mold isn’t hiding in the walls, hire a professional that specializes in mold detection and remediation.

4. Leaks Leaky walls may be hard to detect at first glance, especially in poorly lit areas of the home. Small leaks can be more deadly than huge leaks that are easily noticed and can occur anywhere in the home. Wall leaks would be best detected using a passive or active leak detection system, which a water leak detection company would have access to. It is necessary to find out why and where the leak is, to best address the issues before further damages transpire.

5. Basements Everyone knows that basements are the most common place for water, mold and structural issues. Any issue that may be detected in the foundation, floors, walls or ceiling may require significant interior or exterior repair, such as excavation or maybe even a complete rebuild depending on the severity of the damage. To maintain your basement repairs and to stop water, mold and moisture from reentering these areas, preventative measures like basement and/or crawl space waterproofing can be used. Having your basement and crawl space professionally waterproofed is superior to DIY options because these experts know how to meet the various structural needs through the use of advanced techniques and specialized tools.
