Hudson Valley Home Inspector Finds Water Problem
This Hudson Valley Home Has A Water Problem That Was Found By The Home Inspector
This is one of those places that most people don’t ever want to go into…
That’s right, it’s the nasty crawl space where all kinds of things happen and you don’t find out until it’s too late.
As you can see from the picture I had to climb inside one of those nasty crawl spaces when I was inspecting this home in Hudson Valley. You can see that there is a white efflorescence (powder substance) on the block wall which indicates moisture.
What’s bad about moisture in dark places is it can cause mold to start growing and mold can be a very harmful health issue to you and your family.
The other thing I wanted you to see is the insulation that needs to be repaired. As energy costs continue to go through the roof every little bit of insulation that needs to be repaired should be. This will reduce your energy costs.
It’s so important when buying a home (new or old) to get it inspected by a professional home inspector before you go to closing. A home inspector can save you thousands of dollars of unexpected repair work.
