In this video, I’m inspecting windows on a century-old home, and what I found might surprise you! The windows don’t open, which could pose a safety issue in an emergency. 🚨 Additionally, there are clear signs of moisture damage and rot, which can lead to bigger issues like mold and further structural damage if left untreated. Old homes have charm, but they also come with unique challenges, and it’s important to catch these problems early before they escalate. 🔍 Pro Tip: Always have a thorough inspection, especially in older homes, to stay ahead of potential issues! #HomeInspection #OldHomes #WindowInspection #MoistureDamage #SafetyFirst #HoustonHomes #HomeMaintenance #100YearOldHome #HomeInspections

Tips for a Successful Home Inspection ➡️Be present: You will be able to see any issues yourself, ask questions, and discuss specific problems with your inspector. ➡️Help provide access to areas that need to be checked: Clear away clutter to help allow access to systems including basements, attics, furnace rooms, and under sinks. ➡️Replace light bulbs that are out: This will help with understanding if the bulb itself is out or if it is faulty wiring. ➡️Ensure the fuse box is properly labeled: Double-check that each switch in the box is labeled clearly and correctly, and replace any labels that are incorrect or difficult to read. ➡️Consider having a plan: To avoid distraction or delay, it's recommended to have a plan for children and pets away from the home.

🏢 As your strata building ages, remember that your windows do too. Under the Strata Act, windows are considered common property, making their upkeep essential. Opting for a full window replacement rather than individual repairs or maintenance can be much more cost-effective over time. Plus, if one window is showing signs of wear, it’s likely that others are as well. Choosing full replacement ensures better pricing and a solution that benefits all homeowners in the strata complex. #vancouverhomes #vancouverapartments #calgaryapartments #edmontonapartments #nanaimohomes #victoriahomes #calgaryhomes #windowreplacement
