Happy Holidays from us at Good Bones Home Inspections!

Having family over this holiday season? 🏠

Here’s One Helpful Tip to Ensure Your Overnight Guests are Comfy:
Most water heaters come with a default setting of 140 degrees but turning it down to 120 digress will still provide your guests with a hot shower. This is not just helpful for hospitality but can lower energy consumption, saving you money!

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.

❄️Beware of your plumbing as we approach freezing temperatures!

A broken water pipe can be a messy - and costly - situation. According to Huntsville Utilities, there are five basic things you can do to prevent pipes from freezing in cold weather:

- Keep the heat on: if you're going to be away from home for an extended period of time, make sure your thermostat is not set lower than 55 degrees.
- Allow the faucet to drip: this relieves pressure on your home's water system.
- Seal up cracks and holes: look for places on the inside and outside of your home where cold air can get in and around your pipes.
- Apply heating tape: this is a special electric tape that can be applied directly to pipes.
- Add extra insulation: foam rubber or fiberglass sleeves can be put directly on pipes to help insulate them from the cold. This is especially important for pipes in attics and basements.

You can leave only one dripping faucet but you want to make sure it's in the right location. If you know where your water comes into your house, turn on a cold water faucet at the other end of the house to allow for water to travel through the entire system.

As a homeowner, it can be easy to overlook all of the moving parts in our house — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances — until they break down. Staying on top of all your home’s systems, however, helps ensure things will continue to run smoothly and save you from costly breakdowns.

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!

Windows are easy to forget about checking regularly, but they should be checked at least once a year, if not more. 🪟✅

It is recommended that windows are checked for loose framing and damage in the fall, to make sure that they are in good condition for the winter. Windows are the source of energy loss for a lot of homes if they are not properly sealed, which can make your bills go up during the colder months.

Foundation problems are one of the most costly issues to fix, in some cases in excess of $10,000💰. Signs of foundation issues include doors and windows that stick, cracks in walls above doorways, sloping floors, and L-shaped or horizontal cracks in the visible parts of the exterior foundation.

‼️How to prevent this home inspection fail:

If you know your home has serious foundation issues, it might be best to take care of them before you sell the house, as few buyers will want to deal with the hassle of fixing a foundation. As far as minor foundation repairs go, fill any cracks with epoxy or silicone caulk. Seal the exterior foundation with a waterproof coating. Adjust doors and windows to make sure they all open and close without sticking.
