Keystone Home Inspections

Nice try, Mr Homeowner, but I already took a shower today.

Sometimes I think people forget how stuff works...

I know it’s a surprise with all of the quality caulking applied here but it was STILL leaking.

🏠 HOME INSPECTION TRIVIA FRIDAY! 🔍
QUESTION: How often should you replace the batteries in your smoke detectors?
A) Once a year 📅
B) Every 6 months ⏰
C) When they start beeping at 2 AM 😴
D) Wait, I'm supposed to replace those? 🤔
ANSWER: A) Once a year! 🔋
Pro tip: Change them when you change your clocks for daylight saving time - easy to remember, January 1st to start the year off on the right foot, or on a random Tuesday night of your choosing.

And here's another tidbit: smoke detectors themselves should be replaced every 10 years, even if they seem fine. Studies show that smoke alarm's reliability drastically declines after 10 years. 😱

When's the last time YOU changed yours? Be honest! 👇
