Your attic door is not gasketed well. Since this door separates the unconditioned attic from the main home, Henry recommends adding weatherstripping. This helps keep heating and cooling where it belongs.

Sealing up the point where the backsplash and countertop converge in the kitchen is a great way to keep moisture out of damaging areas.

A cut irrigation line was found and presents a trip hazard. Henry recommends first having this repaired and then consulting a pro to help prevent the erosion happening in this area.

The tub deck in the primary bath is missing caulk, and the upstairs double bath has mildew in the drywall. Several shower entries have holes from an old shower door. Henry recommends resealing all caulk joints, patching any leftover holes, and replacing the water-damaged vanity door to keep moisture at bay.

There’s evidence of water intrusion near the chimney flashing. This could be the source of attic and wall moisture nearby. Henry suggests your qualified roofer take a closer look at this chimney flashing and the surrounding shingles to protect against long-term damage.

The washer’s drain pan on the second floor is a great idea, but the current one is cracked and won’t hold any water. While it’s not an immediate emergency, Henry recommends replacing it to ensure it can catch leaks in the future — a small bit of prevention with big upside.

One of the ducts in the crawlspace is restricted or crushed, which can cut down airflow and strain your HVAC system. Henry suggests having an HVAC tech restore the shape of the duct to keep air moving freely and your system running efficiently.

Air filters in the basement HVAC unit are damaged and need replacing. Swapping out with new keep the HVAC system running smoothly and improve indoor air quality.

Insulation in the attic has been brushed aside in areas, possibly during light fixture installs. Gaps like these lower the home’s energy efficiency. Henry suggests verifying that any recessed lights are IC-rated (safe for contact with insulation), then topping off the insulation to help keep your home comfortable year-round.

Henry recommends cleaning laundry ducts regularly to prevent buildup and reduce fire risk. Consider upgrading portions of the ductwork to rigid ducting if it ever needs replacement.

We found a few electrical issues worth addressing: non-working outlets in the rear den and formal dining room, a missing GFCI outlet at the wet bar in the Florida Room, a loose junction box near the door to the garage, and an exposed wire in the crawlspace. Henry recommends bringing in a licensed electrician to tidy these up — small fixes that go a long way in keeping things safe, up to code, and fully functional.

One of the refrigerant lines near the extrior HVAC units is missing it's insulation. Over time, this can lead to heavy condensation in hot weather, reduce system efficiency, and even cause corrosion on the line. Henry suggests wrapping the line with proper insulation to protect it and your HVAC system's efficiency — especially during our humid summers.

We didn’t see fire extinguishers in the kitchen or garage, two key spots where they can make a big difference in an emergency. Henry suggests picking up one for each area — a small investment in peace of mind.

Minor masonry cracking under 1/16" wide was noted inside the firebox. Henry recommends an annual chimney sweep on heavily used fireplaces. This small cracking should be monitored if the fireplace gets frequent use.

This fireplace cleanout door needs to be reaffixed to the chimney. It might also be a good time to clean up all of these on the home. A quick rust removal and a coat or two of black exterior-grade metal paint will extend their life and look great on the home.

The decorative front door trim is rotting at the upper corners above and on the lowest panels. There's also a masonry void under the panels that's letting water into the front basement room. Henry recommends repointing and filling these gaps along with repairing the trim to help keep additional moisture out.

The Florida Room gutters are showing signs of heavy corrosion, and all gutters need a seasonal clean. Even with gutter guards, debris still sneaks in. Henry suggests cleaning the system twice a year and planning to replace the corroded section to keep water flowing away from the house.

The right-side railing at the front entry is rotted at the base and detached from the wall. Henry suggests replacing the damaged section and reattaching it securely. Not only does this improve safety when coming up the steps, but it also gives your front entrance a well-kept, welcoming look.

The drain cover in the primary bath shower is loose and just needs to be reattached. A quick fix, but one worth doing so to avoid sharp edges or slipping.

There are a few exterior siding pieces that need attention, and one of the front basement window covers may be past repair. Henry recommends replacing or repairing any damaged siding, re-caulking joints, and possibly rebuilding the window cover to keep everything tight and weatherproof.

We spotted mildew and some caulk separation just above the tile in the upstairs double bathroom. Cleaning the area and adding a fresh bead of mildew-resistant caulk may help keep moisture out and preserve the finish.

The sink stopper in the girls’ bathroom isn’t quite closing properly. Henry suggests a quick adjustment to the mechanism below the sink — a small tweak that’ll help with water retention and keep things tidy.

Smoke detectors are missing in Andrew’s, Christopher’s, Hannah’s, and Stephanie’s rooms. Henry strongly recommends installing new detectors in each room — it’s a simple, life-saving safety measure every home needs.

The front room in the basement has definitely seen some moisture over time and you've done a great job managing some of the excess moisture. Henry recommends continuing efforts to reduce leak points from the exterior and keeping the area sealed and dry. Staying ahead of moisture in this kind of below-grade space helps prevent mold, mildew, and long-term problems. Keep an eye on the main structural beam above as it supports the front brick entryway.

We spotted mortar cracks and gaps around the hardscaping near the back door and garage. Henry recommends repointing these sections to prevent moisture from getting in and causing further wear. A little upkeep here goes a long way in preserving the structure and appearance of your outdoor surfaces.

Several bushes and tree limbs are creeping a little too close to the house. Henry recommends trimming back trees to 10 feet and keeping bushes 2-3 feet away. That space helps prevent moisture buildup and discourages critters from cozying up to the siding.

We found minor evidence of rodents in the garage. Henry recommends a pest control service to identify how they’re getting in and seal up any entry points. Once that’s handled, keeping food and trash sealed will help prevent return visitors.

We found signs of moisture in the attic above Stephanie’s room, likely due to issues with the chimney flashing. Henry suggests sealing the flashing and monitoring the ceiling below for any signs of stains or peeling paint.

The lower exteriors of this rooms windows are showing signs of rot again. Henry recommends targeted epoxy repairs at this stage to extend the life of the wood—both here and on other areas of exterior trim. If a professional isn’t available for this work, full replacement may be the next step. Repainting after repairs will also add an extra layer of protection from the elements.

We noticed rust starting to form along the metal lintels beneath your garage door and a few other openings. These areas are easy to overlook but important to maintain. Henry recommends removing any heavy corrosion and sealing the metal with quality paint and caulk to keep out the elements. It’s a straightforward job that helps protect the integrity of your beautiful brick exterior.

There’s a split in a lower window sashe in Stepanie’s room. This is a quick regluing job which will bring locking functionality back to this window.

The kids' bathroom, especially the boys’, shows signs of moisture buildup and mildew. Henry recommends installing an exhaust fan directly in the shower stall to better vent steam and humidity — a simple upgrade that helps protect your walls, paint, and indoor air quality.

About eight inches of refrigerant line in the attic and more on the exterior is missing insulation. With our humid summers, this exposed copper can collect condensation and lead to water drips. Henry recommends wrapping these sections with insulation to improve efficiency and help avoid moisture trouble down the line.

There’s a water stain on the drop ceiling above the basement shower, and we found some corroded copper pipes when we peeked above the drop ceiling. Henry recommends calling a plumber to investigate further and replace any sections showing signs of deterioration before they become leaks.
