The Top 5 Red Flags to Watch for on a Home Inspection Report

by Tammi Freund

 

Not all inspection issues are deal-breakers—but some can cost thousands if overlooked. Here are the top five red flags to pay attention to.


1. Foundation Issues

Look for cracks, sticking doors, or sloping floors—especially in Texas clay soils.

2. Roof Damage

Missing shingles, leaks, or signs of age can be expensive to fix.

3. Electrical Problems

Outdated panels, faulty wiring, or overloaded circuits are safety hazards.

4. Plumbing Leaks

Check for water stains, low water pressure, and slow drains.

5. HVAC Problems

An older or poorly maintained system can mean big replacement costs.

Bottom Line

A thorough inspection and expert guidance can help you navigate issues without losing the deal.
