Real inspection findings
This is what we find. This is why you need an inspection.
Real photos from TC Home Inspections jobs. A trained eye catches what sellers don't disclose — and what buyers can't afford to miss.
StructuralHigh risk
Severe water & structural damage
Extensive wall cracking and moisture near the electrical panel — a serious safety and repair cost.
PlumbingHigh risk
Heavily corroded pipes
Advanced corrosion on supply lines — risk of leaks, pressure loss and contamination.
CeilingsMedium risk
Deteriorated patio ceiling
Peeling paint and exposed wood on the patio ceiling — long-term weather damage left unrepaired.
FlooringHigh risk
Hidden subfloor moisture
Moisture trapped under flooring causing the subfloor to rot — invisible until the floor is lifted.
DrainageMedium risk
Fully clogged gutters
Leaf-packed gutters divert rainwater toward the foundation — leading to costly water intrusion.
