🔥 This summer has been BRUTAL. Here's what it may have done to your home. 🏡
After months of record heat, most of us are just happy to see the forecast drop a small amount. But the heat doesn't just wear on us, it wears on our homes too. As DFW home inspectors, here's what we recommend checking this fall:
🧱 Your foundation. During excessive heat, the soil may have pulled away from your foundation. Look for gaps between the soil and your slab, new cracks in walls or brick, doors that suddenly stick, or gaps around windows.
❄️ Your AC. Your system ran nonstop for months. Change the filter, clear debris from around the outdoor unit, and consider a tune-up before it gets a break.
🏠 Your roof. Extreme heat can age shingles faster. Look for curling, cracking, or granules collecting in your gutters.
💧 Your plumbing and irrigation. Check for leaks, and adjust sprinkler schedules as temperatures drop.
