Welcome to the first segment of "The more you know" where I ask the professionals alllll the questions, so you don't have to!
First up is home maintenance with home inspector Corey Anderson of Central Illinois Home Inspections!
I asked Corey:
"What is a commonly flagged item in your home inspections that can be easily fixed, and affects the overall condition of your home?"
His answer?
Moisture Intrusion!π§
Moisture is a common issue in homes, and there are so many things that can be done to help prevent and combat it, for little cost! He recommends checking to see that you're:
-Keeping downspout extensions in place.
-Regularly cleaning gutters.
-Adding dirt around the home to get water away if the grading is towards the home.
-Roof flashings around the plumbing stack or chimney area are in good shape.
