The House Detective: 7 Hidden Home Issues Your Inspector Can Catch Early

Introduction: Every Home Has a Secret…

Buying a home is exciting… but every home has stories it doesn’t tell at first glance. That’s why homeowners across the area trust PPT Inspections to uncover the truth before costly problems appear.

Think of us as your home’s personal detective — trained, sharp-eyed, and always ready to protect your investment.

Here are 7 hidden home issues your PPT inspector can catch early, saving you stress, money, and surprises.

1. The “Slow Leak” You’d Never Notice

Water damage often starts small — so small that homeowners miss it entirely. PPT Inspections uses moisture meters and detailed visual checks to catch those early signs before they become mold nightmares.

2. Electrical “DIY Specials”

Improper wiring is one of the most common — and dangerous — issues in homes. PPT inspectors know exactly what to look for, from overloaded panels to poorly wired outlets.

You deserve safety. We make sure you get it.

3. Foundation Cracks That Tell a Story

Some cracks whisper. Others scream. PPT Inspections reads them like a book — checking patterns, moisture, soil issues, and more to identify early foundation problems.

4. HVAC Systems on Their Last Breath

Whether you're buying or maintaining a home, PPT inspectors help you understand the true condition of your HVAC system — not just whether it “turns on.”

This helps you prepare, negotiate, and avoid unexpected breakdowns.

5. Unwanted Guests: Termites & Critters

Pests don’t always announce their arrival. PPT Inspections looks for subtle signs the average homeowner never sees.

Early detection = thousands saved.

6. Hidden Drainage Problems

Improper drainage is one of the sneakiest causes of foundation damage. PPT inspectors evaluate grading, gutters, downspouts, and moisture patterns so your home stays dry and protected.

7. Drafty Windows & Energy Leaks

Air leaks drain more than comfort — they drain your wallet. PPT Inspections identifies problem areas and helps you understand where energy efficiency can be improved.

Don’t Guess — Let PPT Inspections Give You Clarity

A professional inspection is more than a report. It’s peace of mind, protection, and real answers from experts who care about your home as much as you do.
