Viewing an Open House

Water leaks:

Water leaks are expensive and difficult to repair, it is important to detect them before purchasing a home. Check ceilings and drywall for stains, bulges and other signs of water damage. Look up and down in each room to spot potential problems. Water that works its way inside via a leaky roof or a cracked foundation can rot wood, create mildew and mold, destroy possessions and can be expensive to repair.

Here are some considerations and common problem areas to look for when touring an open house:
General upkeep
Water leaks
Does it work?
Floors
Doors and windows
Poor drainage
Grout and caulking
Structural
Miscellaneous concerns
