Why Boardman Homes Need Thorough Inspections

Every city has a unique profile. In Boardman, the average home age is 49 years old. While these homes have character, they often come with specific risks that we are trained to identify:

• Foundation Risks: In this area, we frequently encounter Settled/cracked unreinforced concrete foundation, which can be costly if overlooked.
• Electrical Safety: Older homes here may still have Knob-and-tube wiring, which poses a significant fire hazard.
• Health Hazards: We pay special attention to Lead plumbing (e.g., pipes, solder), a common issue in the local housing stock.
