GoodBones Home Inspection

Have you ever gotten a home inspection? 🔎

Here’s what to expect:

A home inspector will look at things like a home’s foundation, structural components, roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, then provide a written home inspection report with results.

A home inspection generally takes two to four hours, but may take more time depending on the size of the house.

After the physical inspection, the home inspector may take a couple of days to send the written report.

Buyers should attend the inspection so they can explore their new home in detail and ask questions during the process.

This can give you much more information than the report alone.

On Halloween 🎃, children will walk to and from your doorstep, so the path to the front door should be illuminated. 💡Before putting up any Halloween decorations, make sure the lighting along the walkway and at the front door is bright enough at night to safely see where you’re going.

As you put up your decorations, monitor how they affect the lighting. If anything is obstructing the light or making it hard to see the pathway, make any necessary adjustments.✅

Fall is in full swing! 🍁

Leaves look beautiful blanketing the ground, but leaving too many leaves on a lawn over winter in a snowy area can inhibit spring growth.😡 To make the job easier, choose a lightweight rake, wear gloves to protect your hands and use handheld “leaf scoops” to bag leaves quickly. 👍

🍁Fall Inspection Tip🍁
If your home has a sump pump, make sure to get it inspected or test it out yourself before winter comes! ❄️ If the sump pump cannot keep water from snowmelt and rain away from your foundation and it gets into the basement, this could cause a lot of problems, like mold!
