The 10-Minute Home Inspection Every Homeowner Should Do This Summer

You don't need to be a contractor to spot the early warning signs of home moisture problems.

Taking just ten minutes to walk around your property can help you catch issues before they become expensive repairs.

Check Your Gutters

Overflowing gutters allow water to collect around your foundation.

Make sure they're clean and draining properly.

Walk Around Your Foundation

Look for:

• Standing water

• Cracks

• Soil erosion

• Poor grading

  
  

Trust Your Nose

Musty odors often indicate hidden moisture or mold.

Don't ignore them.

Look at Your Floors

Cold, soft, or uneven floors may point to crawl space problems.

Check Utility Bills

Unexpected increases often indicate insulation or moisture issues.

Peek Into the Crawl Space

If it's safe to do so, look for:

• Standing water

• Wet insulation

• Mold

• Pest activity

• Torn vapor barriers

If anything looks unusual, it's time for a professional inspection.
