Five Key Areas to Pay Attention to When Buying = a=20 Home
by Phoebe Chongchua

Looking for a new home can be exciting and frustrating. You can = help=20 alleviate the frustration by paying close attention to five key = areas of=20 the homes you're considering buying; it may save you money in the = long=20 run.=20

Don Walker is an inspector and owner of Ace Home Inspections. = He says=20 there are five areas in homes that he frequently reports problems = with.=20 They are electrical, foundation, plumbing, the attic, and = landscaping.=20

Electrical Walker says sometimes homeowners assume with newer = homes=20 that all will work just fine but that's often not the case. "I = inspected a=20 brand new house -- four years old but the electrical was all done=20 incorrectly," says Walker.=20

Having a complete home inspection will help to rule out any = problems=20 and point out any areas of concern. However, even as you're = browsing=20 homes, buyers can start to make note of the key areas that Walker=20 mentioned, such as the foundation.=20

Foundation Walker says a four-year-old home he inspected = recently was=20 already showing trouble signs which could result in a costly = repair=20 project. "It was a model home. What the homeowners did was plant = trees for=20 shade to make it look really nice, but they planted the wrong = trees and=20 they're going to crack the foundation and it's going to cut the = property=20 value down by $50,000," says Walker.=20

Walker says in the case of that home, the trees were causing=20 micro-fractures in the tile in various locations of the home. "As = you walk=20 through the house, 21 feet in and 30 feet deep, there's just too = much root=20 invasion and it's going to ruin their tile," explains Walker.=20

He says some tell-tale signs with this home were the minor = cracks in=20 the foundation that were causing a lifting and separation of the=20 foundation. Also, the windows were not opening and closing = properly,=20 "which means the foundation is moving."=20

However, just because you see cracks doesn't mean there is a = foundation=20 problem. "Most people don't understand that there are natural = cracks in a=20 house. That's why when we do an inspection report we have to look = at it=20 and say 'Okay, this is a typical crack and this one is an = untypical=20 crack,'" says Walker. He says some cracks may lead to other = problems while=20 others won't.=20

Plumbing Walker says another big area of concern is the = plumbing. It's=20 an area that you can't always spot as easily but it can create = expensive=20 repairs if plumbing issues go either undetected or are not = properly fixed.=20 "Mold forms underneath sinks when people have a leak and they fix = the pipe=20 but they don't take care of the mold," says Walker.=20

He says things like caulking the sink can help prevent mold. = "That's my=20 number one thing I always find -- bad sinks," says Walker.=20

He says that when you look at the sink, look behind it and most = of the=20 time you will discover a little crack. "What happens is, when you = wash=20 dishes or you wash your hands in the bathroom or the kitchen, the = water=20 gets in that crack and seeps down. Once the water gets behind the = cabinet=20 it's in a perfect position to create mold," says Walker. The = dampness,=20 humidity, and lack of light can turn that area beneath the sink = into a=20 mold-breeding ground.=20

Attic "You can tell everything about the house by the attic," = says=20 Walker. He says other areas of the home can be covered up if a = repair had=20 occurred. For instance, if there was a leak and it damaged a wall, = with=20 the right contractors and repairs it can be made to look like new = and,=20 hopefully, function like new. But Walker says the attic is sort of = the=20 eyes to the soul of the home. "In the attic you can tell where all = the=20 damage has been," says Walker.=20

"If you're in a 20-year-old house and you see that the = insulation is=20 brand new, you know that there was a water leak because it had to = be=20 replaced," says Walker. He adds, "You can tell if the roof is good = because=20 you can look right at the wood."=20

Landscaping "There should not be moisture or plants next to = your=20 house," says Walker. He says there should be a 12 inch barrier = between the=20 landscape and the house. Walker says otherwise you run the risk of = having=20 the foundation crack and affect the home. What happens is, as the=20 landscape that is too close to the home is watered, the foundation = and=20 soil expand. Then, when no watering occurs, the foundation dries = up and=20 shrinks and this can cause it to crack.=20

Remember, knowledge is power, so learning about the home before = you=20 close the deal on it will keep you from making a mistake that may = cost you=20 extra out-of-pocket money later.
