signs of mold growing inside your home aren’t always obvious, but if you experience any of these 4 issues, you probably have a mold problem. To find out if you have a mold problem and how to get rid of it, hire a professional mold inspector.

Water can be a house killer if it isn’t managed properly. An easy step you can take to manage excess water is making sure your downspouts terminate in the proper locations. They should never terminate directly onto a lower roof but rather into a lower gutter, and should terminate at least 4 feet away from your foundation.

Sometimes a quick fix will work for a little bit, but sooner or later it will lead to major problems. The roof is the first line of defence against water damage and exposed nails on the roof can cause major problems. They allow water to pe*****te and rot the structure below turning the cheap, quick fix into a very expensive headache.

Now is a good time for an exterior inspection. A crack like this will almost definitely lead to water intrusion and can cause significant damage to your home. Especially during the winter months when snow is present and freeze-thaw cycles cause that crack to widen.

Did you know that air movement accounts for 98% of moisture intrusion in a home? This is one of the reasons why I include thermal imaging in all of my inspection reports. Thermal cameras can see issues that are hidden or invisible to the naked eye like air leaks, water leaks, missing insulation, overheated wiring, and many other issues.

Not my inspection, but a good example of why it is a good idea to get a home inspection, even for newly built homes
