Critical Issues Found in $275,000 Home Inspection

A recent home inspection in the US revealed several critical issues in a $275,000 property. Home inspector Janett, 19, highlighted problems including improperly installed p-traps, potentially allowing sewer gases into the house. "The s-trap in the bathroom is causing a terrible smell because it doesn't prevent sewer gases from entering the home," she explained. Exterior problems included missing roof shingles and landscaping too close to the walls, potentially causing moisture damage. The condenser unit was also not elevated enough. A hairline crack in the foundation was also discovered. These issues underscore the importance of thorough home inspections before purchasing a property. While the issues are fixable, they represent significant costs for the homeowner.
