7 home defects to watch for

No home is flawless, but certain physical problems can be expensive. Watch for:

1- Water Leaks.  Look for stains on ceilings and near the baseboards, especially in basements and attics.

2- Shifting foundations.  Look for large cracks along the home’s foundations.

3- Drainage.  Look for standing water, either around the foundation of the home or in the yard.

4- Termites.  Look for weakened or grooved wood, especially near ground level.

5- Worn roofs.  Look for broken or missing copings and buckled shingles as well as water spots on ceilings.

6- Inadequate wiring.  Look for antiquated fuse boxes, extension cords (indicating insufficient outlets), and outlet without a place to plug in the grounding plug.

7- Plumbing problems.  Very low water pressure, banging in pipes.
