LOX Home Inspections, LLC is starting off 2013 with great strides and real estate support. We are affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce and on the preferred Home Inspector list of most real estate brokerages, insurance companies, and contractors both in Glynn County and surrounding areas. LOX Home Inspections, LLC takes great pride in the work that we do and the people that we meet. I personally feel that our business not only enlightens clients to the condition of their home, but allows us to trend common deficiencies that current home owners may be dealing with. Some deficiencies noted in our reports are common place to residential construction and life spans, others are directly related to the type of home constructed and who constructed it. The most common deficiencies are just due to lack of home maintenance. So I wanted to take the opportunity to share a few of these common items with you.
1) Clean your gutters. When a gutter is not cleaned, it may conceal rust, wood root, or wood destroying organisms.
2) Ensure that any exterior door that is susceptible to rain water is primed and painted. The lack of maintenance to the base brickmold of an exterior door may lead to wood rot and wood destroying organisms.
3) Have your HVAC unit routinely maintenanced by a service technician. The most common deficiency I find due to lack of maintenance is deteriorated pipe insulation and dirty filters.
4) Annually check your toilet to make sure it is secure to the floor. Loose toilets may lead to deteriorated wax rings or leakage into the subfloor.
This list is just a sample of home deficiency items that I commonly see. In future blogs I will add more.
So hug a realtor, call LOX Home Inspections, LLC, and take care of your home.
