Why Bluestone Homes Need Thorough Inspections

Every city has a unique profile. In Bluestone, the average home age is 66 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 Moisture damage/Water penetration in basement, which can be costly if overlooked.
• Electrical Safety: Older homes here may still have Aluminum wiring, which poses a significant fire hazard.
• Health Hazards: We pay special attention to Radon accumulation in basements, a common issue in the local housing stock.
