Adding a few automatic security lights outside will improve visibility at night and make the property feel safer overall.

The washing machine doesn’t have a drip pan underneath. While it’s less critical on a tile floor, having a pan is a nice precaution in case of a small leak—kind of like having a little insurance for your floors.

The water pressure is sitting at 90 psi, which is higher than ideal. Adjusting or installing a pressure-reducing valve will ease the strain on your pipes and fixtures, helping your plumbing last longer.

The master bathroom exhaust fan has collected a bit of debris over time. A quick vacuum will clear it out, improving airflow and helping with moisture control.

The laundry room dryer vent has lint buildup, which can be a fire hazard. Giving it a good clean will keep the dryer running safely and efficiently.

The gutters are full of leaves, and one downspout is buried in mulch, which keeps it from draining water away. Cleaning out the gutters and adjusting splash blocks will protect the foundation from water damage. If you notice splashing from the sliced gutter near the garage, this should be repaired to prevent overflow.

Your Electrical Service Panel in the garage is a bit obstructed. Clearing the area ensures quick access in case of an issue and keeping the cover closed is your last line of defense against fire spread.

The attic insulation has many gaps, and parts of your crawlspace insulation have fallen. Tightening this up will keep your home cozy and energy efficient. Insulating the exposed copper pipes in the crawlspace is also a smart, inexpensive way to protect them during cold snaps.

The vapor barrier in the crawlspace has been disturbed, exposing this area to high humidity rates. Straightening and securing it will help keep moisture down and improve the overall air quality under the house.

One of the closet doors upstairs needs a new ball catch to keep them in place. A couple of exterior windows have cracks that should be repaired to prevent water from sneaking in. The garage door is sticking slightly, and paint near the rear deck door is showing wear. Fresh paint and quick fixes here will keep moisture from causing trouble.

There’s an old dehumidifier or humidifier connected to the crawlspace ductwork that’s unplugged. It might be time to have an HVAC tech check it out—if it’s not doing anything, disconnecting or removing it can keep your system running more efficiently.

Kate’s bathroom toilet has been repaired and tightened—just keep an eye on it to make sure it stays leak-free. The flapper valves in the powder room and Jack’s bathroom toilets are leaking slightly, which the dye test confirmed. Replacing those flappers is an easy fix that stops the leaks and saves water.

There’s a little efflorescence (that white, powdery residue) on the crawlspace cinder blocks and a slight leak from the irrigation valve. Nothing urgent for now, but keeping an eye on these areas will help catch any issues early.

There’s a floor tile crack in the laundry room that runs toward the kitchen entry. It’s not a big deal now, but keeping an eye on it will help decide if repairs are needed down the road.

I did not observe extinguishers in the garage and kitchen. Placing fire extinguishers in important accessible areas is a great idea to be prepared in case of emergencies.

While the siding finish is holding up well, the window trim and exterior trim are showing signs of wear. Cracks in the caulk and exposed wood on the window trim need attention to prevent rot. Resealing these cracks and repainting the trim will protect the wood and maintain a clean, polished appearance for years to come.

The exhaust vent in the crawlspace has a couple of breaks, and it’s a good idea to trace it to see if it’s still venting a bathroom. If so, replacing the vent will ensure proper airflow and prevent moisture buildup. Outside, there’s a related vent opening that needs repair or capping to keep water out of the wall.

The steel lintels above your garage doors are showing early rust, which happens over time. Cleaning, priming, and repainting them now will keep that rust from spreading and protect their structural strength.

The attic lights are incandescent, which run a little hot. Swapping them for LEDs is a safer and more energy-efficient choice for enclosed spaces.

The air filter in the dining room is pretty dusty and ready for a fresh one. Swapping it out keeps the air clean and helps the HVAC system work more efficiently.

You’re missing a smoke detector in the upstairs guest bedroom. Verifying the detector next to the attached garage door will add an extra layer of safety. These little devices are lifesavers, and it’s always good to stay up to date.

Jack’s bathroom has a few spots where grout and caulk are separating—especially where the floor meets the wall and along the shower’s edge. Bathrooms see a lot of use, so a little touch-up here will go a long way.

It appears you are switching out a dimmer switch in the dining room. Switches without covers are a fire hazard, but we're gathering this will be covered soon. A loose receptacle under the window in the formal living room could use a quick tightening, too. Lastly, the attic receptacle isn’t working right now, so it’s worth checking out to figure out the cause and get it back up and running.

A few stair pickets at the bottom of the stairwell are loose. This is a minor issue, but securing them and giving them a fresh coat of paint will keep the area sturdy and looking great.

The gas line above the attic furnace could use a little extra support with one or two straps. It’s a small fix but adds peace of mind, keeping the line steady and secure.

The side porch is in great shape but would benefit from a fresh stain to protect it from the weather. The front steps just need a bit of brick repointing to keep them sturdy and looking nice.

On the second floor, there are a few areas where structural beams intersect with the room walls. While this is a charming feature of your home, we did notice some paint failure at these intersections. These spots are high-stress areas and would benefit from a flexible, high-stretch caulk during repairs. One beam also showed potential signs of water staining.

The bushes surrounding your outdoor HVAC unit are cozying up a little too close. Trimming these back will improve airflow, keep debris from getting into the unit, and help it run its best.
