There are obviously a lot more than 5 things to check, but these are the most important.

During a home inspection there are several more things to check than the 5 on this list. However, these 5 are really important because they can lead to some major expenses and headaches down the road, not to mention the dangers they may cause.

1 - Check The Roof

A problem with the roof can be very expensive in the long run. Not only the cost to replace or repair the roof, but also the cost of fixing any water damage that may occur. Water damage can rot floors, ceilings, walls, and also cause mold and mildew to grow. All of which can be very costly to remedy.

2 - Check The Plumbing

This is another major component that can have negative costly effects. Faulty plumbing can cause rot and mold growth, along with clogged or busted sewage pipes, which can lead to costly damage.

3 - Check Electrical Systems

Electrical issues can be very costly and can cause a host of other problems including fires, damage to electronics, and electrocution.

4 - Check The HVAC System

An inefficient HVAC system can lead to high utility costs and are expensive to repair or replace.

5 - Check The Foundation/Structure

The structure and foundation of a home is another costly area that can lead to many problems. Cracks and leaks in the foundation can lead to rot and mold growth. Rotting or termite-infested floor joists and beams can cause collapse and severe injury. This can also lead to cracked windows, and sticking doors.
