Why Shaker Heights Homes Need Thorough Inspections
Every city has a unique profile. In Shaker Heights, the average home age is 62 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 Insufficient electrical service (low amperage…, which poses a significant fire hazard.
- Health Hazards: We pay special attention to Asbestos insulation, a common issue in the local housing stock.
Environmental Testing: Radon, Mold & Pests
WDI (Termite) Inspections for VA Loans, Refinancing, and Peace of Mind
Many FHA, VA, and HUD loans require a Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection before closing. Our licensed inspectors check for termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and other WDIs common in Ohio. We are licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and provide the official Ohio NPMA-33 form required by lenders.
Beyond the physical structure, our inspections cover the environmental health of the home. Here is the risk profile for Shaker Heights:
- Radon Levels: The local risk level is considered High. 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 High, which are active in this region.
Shaker Heights Mold Inspections & Air Quality Testing
Suspect mold? Unexplained allergies or musty odors can be a sign of hidden mold growth. Mold can negatively affect your health and your home's structural integrity.
