Before purchasing a new Boise home it is always a great idea to have the home inspected by a professional. Remember, no home is perfect and each one will have its own set of problems, some more serious than others. The goal here is to know what those problems are so they can be addressed before closing the deal. Below are some key areas to pay special attention too:
- Electrical – make sure all the outlets are working properly.
- Fireplace – if the home has a fireplace check to see if the chimney and flue are clean, safe, and working.
- Foundation – cracks in the foundation may indicate a foundation shift or leakage into the crawlspace or basement.
- Furnace – check the age of the furnace, is it operating correctly and clean?
- Roof – look for signs of water damage and check the attic for light coming through. Find out the age of the roof and make sure that there doesn’t need to be any repairs.
- Plumbing – check to make sure all faucets and drains are working properly and sealed tightly. How is the water pressure?
