Hidden Home Defects to Watch For
No home is flawless, but certain physical problems can be expensive. Watch for:
Water leaks. Look for stains on ceilings and near the
baseboards, especially in basements or attics.
Shifting foundations. Look for large cracks along the
home’s foundation.
Drainage. Look for standing water, either around the foundation
of the home of in the yard.
Termites. Look for weakened or grooved wood, especially
near ground level.
Worn roofs. Look for broken or missing copings and buckled
shingles as well as water spots on ceilings.
Inadequate wiring. Look for antiquated fuse boxes, extension
cords (indicating insufficient outlets), and outlets without a place to plug
in the grounding prong.
Plumbing problems. Very low water pressure, banging in pipes.
