“Where’s the water supposed to go? 👀💧”

This roof had a gutter installed… but no downspout and no opening for the water to drain out. Instead of flowing away from the home properly, water was backing up and being forced uphill against the flashing.

The result?
When Todd inspected the attic, he found moisture damage on the roof decking from water intrusion.

This is a great reminder that gutters aren’t just there to look nice — they’re designed to CONTROL water. Even small installation mistakes can lead to hidden damage over time.

A few signs something may be wrong:

* Overflowing gutters during rain
* Water stains in the attic
* Peeling paint or soffit damage
* Moisture or mildew smells

Water always wins eventually… which is why proper drainage matters so much. 💦🏠

The #1 plumbing issue we find in older homes?

Galvanized steel pipes.

If your home was built before the 1970s, there’s a good chance your pipes are galvanized — and they have a lifespan of about 40-70 years.

Over time, they corrode from the inside out, causing:

❌ Low water pressure
❌ Discolored or rusty water
❌ Leaks and pinhole failures
❌ Reduced water flow throughout the home

The scary part? You can’t see it happening until it becomes a real problem.

During a home inspection, this is one of the first things we check — because catching it early can save buyers and homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs.

And here’s something most buyers don’t think about: the problem doesn’t stop inside your home. Your sewer line is just as vulnerable — and it’s not included in a standard inspection.

That’s why we recommend adding a sewer scope to your inspection. We run a camera through the sewer line to check for corrosion, root intrusion, bellying, and blockages — issues that can cost $5,000–$15,000+ to repair if left undetected.

It’s a small add-on that can save you from a very expensive surprise after closing. 🏠

Not all inspections are created equal… and this one proves it 👇

“Saved us from buying a house with rot…” — that’s the kind of detail that matters when you’re making one of the biggest investments of your life.
