Why home inspection is important even if you don't want to sell?

by Mark Shehadeh Florida Certified General Contractor

Are you worry about your home condition? A home inspection is a great way to assess the health of your home, even if you don't plan to sell it. It can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

Here are major benefits of home inspection.

Identify The Issues In Time

Home inspectors can uncover potentially expensive problems. If not caught early or ignored, a repair that might cost $100 can turn into a problem that costs thousands to fix. So by identifying some possible issues early on, you can save lots of your money.

Price The Property Right

Home inspection always help you to get the right price of your property. Having a complete new home inspection report from reliable and certified home inspector allows the seller to properly price the property.

Selling suggestions

If you have plan to sell your home, a pre home inspection can be a big benefit for you. It gives you a “to-do list” and it will hopefully catch issues while they’re still minor. Inspecting the home before you put it on the market means fewer surprises and expenses.

Radon Detection

Radon is a natural, odorless, colorless gas that enters homes through foundation cracks and can cause serious respiratory problems. If your initial home inspection didn’t include a radon test, you are advised to get one now. We strongly suggests every home be tested at least once.

Mold Mitigation

It’s important to control and monitor moisture in your home. Mold is most likely to be found in basements, crawl spaces, attics and anywhere there is plumbing. You can do it yourself once in a month and annual checks by a professional inspector. We recommends hiring a mold remediation service to remove any mold patches larger than 10 square feet.
