Why Youngstown Homes Need Thorough Inspections
Every city has a unique profile. In Youngstown, the average home age is 70 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 Youngstown, Ohio.
- Asbestos floor tiles
- Drafty single-pane windows
- Sump pump failure
- Foundation bowing
- Basement seepage
- Concrete shrinkage cracks
- Blocked soffit vents
- Untested appliances
- Poor exterior grading
- Missing insulation patches
Environmental Testing: Radon, Mold & Pests
VA, FHA, and HUD Approved WDI Inspections in Youngstown
To satisfy lender requirements for FHA or VA financing, we provide thorough wood-destroying insect (WDI) screenings. We look for active infestations of termites and ants common to the Ohio region. You will receive a completed NPMA-33 form from an inspector licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Beyond the physical structure, our inspections cover the environmental health of the home. Here is the risk profile for Youngstown:
- 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.
