Why Akron Homes Need Thorough Inspections
Every city has a unique profile. In Akron, the average home age is 68 years old. While these homes have character, they often come with specific risks that we are trained to identify. But there are also plenty of new homes being built in the area all the time that also come with their own unique issues! Below are the top 5 issues we see during our inspections in Akron, Ohio.
- Foundation bowing
- Basement seepage
- Ice dam roof damage
- Knob and tube wiring
- Galvanized plumbing
- Poor exterior grading
- Missing insulation patches
- Drywall nail pops
- Unsealed roof penetrations
- Missing kickout flashing
Environmental Testing: Radon, Mold & Pests
Comprehensive Termite and Wood-Destroying Insect Checks
Don't let wood-destroying insects stall your VA loan or refinance. Our licensed Ohio inspectors provide detailed WDI checks for termites and beetles. We are authorized by the Ohio Department of Agriculture to issue the official NPMA-33 forms needed for real estate transactions.
Beyond the physical structure, our inspections cover the environmental health of the home. Here is the risk profile for Akron:
- Radon Levels: The local risk level is considered Moderate. We strongly recommend testing, as radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
- Mold Concerns: Given the local climate, the risk of mold is High.
- Wood Destroying Insects: We inspect for signs of damage from Moderate, which are active in this region.
