Home inspection reviews based upon the results of home inspections conducted by InspectAmerica Engineering, PC, a highly recommended home inspection company.
Inspection of the roof gutters is an important part of the home inspection process. The gutters should be oriented and sized to prevent water overflows and must be kept clean and free
flowing.
The above photo taken during a home inspection review depicts water overflowing the gutters which saturated the ground close to the house resulting in basement water intrusion.
A simple
fix rather than an expensive basement drainage system with a sump pump can save thousands of dollars.
This is an important reason why home buyers should retain the knowledgeable services of a licensed
Professional Engineer to conduct their home inspection rather than a non-engineer inspector (whether or not the inspector holds a license as a home inspector or not).
