This report highlights the key findings from our investigation, which has revealed a range of defects that could have led to substantial costs and safety concerns for the uninformed buyer. Our findings are detailed in the accompanying portfolio, which includes photographic evidence of each issue, serving as a crucial educational tool for homeowners on the significance of regular maintenance and the vigilance needed when purchasing renovated properties.</p>
<p>Among the defects identified are significant concrete problems, indicating potential structural and foundation weaknesses. The inspection also uncovered leaking water heaters, a common yet hazardous issue that can lead to extensive water damage and increased energy bills. Roof and shingle issues were noted, posing risks of leaks and water damage to the interior of the home. Improper grading around the foundation was discovered, a critical factor contributing to water entry into the crawlspace. This, in turn, has led to water damage to the hardwood floors within the home, compromising both the aesthetic and structural integrity of the flooring.</p>
<p>Further, our inspection brought to light major framing and structural issues in both the attic and crawlspace, which are essential components of the home's overall stability and safety. The lack of insulation, along with improperly installed insulation, was observed, potentially resulting in inefficient energy use and increased utility costs. The plumbing system exhibited improper lines and drains, alongside leaking drains, indicating a need for immediate repairs to prevent water damage and mold growth.</p>
<p>Mold presence in the crawlspace, directly attributed to the water entry at the foundation, was another critical finding. Mold can pose significant health risks and contribute to the deterioration of the home's structure over time.</p>
<p>This inspection serves as a vital reminder of the hidden defects that can lurk behind the facade of a newly renovated home. For the first-time buyer of this Atlanta residence, our detailed evaluation has not only prevented costly surprises but also provided an invaluable education on home maintenance and the importance of a comprehensive home inspection. Through this report, we aim to enhance awareness about the potential issues in renovated homes and emphasize the critical role of professional inspections in safeguarding against unforeseen expenses and ensuring a safe living environment.</p>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.24.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_column type="4_4" _builder_version="4.24.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_code _builder_version="4.24.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][visual_portfolio id="466"][/et_pb_code][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
