๐Ÿ  Behind the scenes of a recent home inspection! This cast-iron sewer line was heavily rusted and cracked. While it wasnโ€™t leaking yet, itโ€™s a ticking time bombโ€”it is definitely time for a new PVC pipe. Upgrading your line is a fairly expensive fix, but that is much better than dealing with toxic sewage flowing into your basement later! ๐Ÿ›‘

Nearwater Property Group helps homeowners identify these hidden deal-breakers before they turn into costly disasters. We are proud to be your trusted partner in property care, and we are excited to announce that we will be **serving NJ & Monmouth county soon**!

Did you know the door between your garage and your home is one of your most important lines of defense? ๐Ÿšช๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

For maximum safety, all attached garages should feature a self-closing, fire-rated door. In this photo from a recent inspection, you can see the two key components we look for:

Have you checked underneath your sinks lately?

Take a close look at this plumbing setup. Notice the large gap around the pipe where it enters the wall cabinet. This might seem minor, but itโ€™s actually a primary entryway for mice and other rodents into your home. ๐Ÿšช๐Ÿญ

When you hire a home inspector, you expect them to check the roof, the foundation, and the electrical systems. But at Nearwater Property Group, we believe a truly thorough inspection means looking at everything that could impact your life in your new home - including whatโ€™s growing in the backyard.
