Sewer Scope Inspection A Must Do, Russell Hayek

A sewer scope inspection is a step in the home-buying process. New or old houses look out for warning signs such as clogs, slow drains, or irregularities in the ground near the sewer line. This inspection will ensure they are free from issues like tree root intrusion, clogs, cracks, leaks, corrosion, and debris. Even in new constructions, keep an eye out for damaged piping and potential debris left behind, such as tools, cans or installation errors to name a few. Discovering these issues before taking ownership is essential, considering the hefty costs associated with sewer pipe replacement—ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 and potentially more. Check with your insurance company to determine if you have sewer pipe coverage. If not, securing a policy for sewer pipe replacement is a good investment, preventing expensive repairs in the future. A sewer scope inspection is a straightforward and cost-effective measure that can save you from financial burdens down the road. Don't overlook this critical step of your home's sewer system. As always talk to your home inspector.

Clean The Bathroom Exhaust Fan, Russell Hayek

Bathroom exhaust fans are an important part of any home's ventilation system. By removing moisture and unpleasant odors from bathrooms, they help to prevent mold and mildew growth and maintain good air quality. Proper maintenance is essential for keeping them functioning properly. The fan cover can become clogged with dust and debris, which can reduce the fan's efficiency. It’s not hard to clean. Use a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner to remove any debris from the cover. If your bathroom exhaust fan has a filter, make sure to replace it regularly. A dirty filter can reduce the fan's efficiency and cause it to work harder, which can lead to increased energy costs. Remember, as with all home purchases or updates, it's crucial to do your research on the town, city, and complex. All locations are subject to change, so it's important to stay informed."
