Preparing for Winter: Advice from ClearVue Home Inspection

MIDLAND, N.C. - Nov. 8, 2022 - PRLog -- Home inspection services are one of the best ways to understand a home's condition, habitability, and safety, whether you are buying a property, selling a property, or seeking more information about maintaining a property you already own.

From cracked roofs, broken HVAC systems, and smashed windows, cold-weather repairs can be expensive if you do not catch them early enough. With unpredictable weather conditions often causing extreme temperatures, it is always prudent to take extra precautions before the snow season begins.

"Home inspection services allow homeowners to maximize efficiency and safety in their homes," according to ClearVUE, a Charlotte-based leasing home inspection firm with over a decade of professional inspection and investigation experience, as well as years of training in home systems, assessment, investigation, and research. "The inspection provides a home maintenance schedule tailored to that home to help the homeowner maintain the value of their investment."

According to ClearVUE, people must look at concerns that most influence homeowners during the more challenging months of the year. Here are some of the benefits of home inspection service in winter:

Testing a House's Resilience: Subzero temperatures, heavy snowfall, and ice can strain a house's infrastructure. A home inspection under these conditions can put the plumbing and HVAC system to the test.

Determining Framing Stability: Heavy snowfall will put a lot of strain on the framing and foundation of the house. This enables a home inspector to predict potential structural issues in the future more accurately.

Detecting Drafts: When it's cold outside, it's easier to detect draughts and identify areas with poor insulation.

Home Inspection Hot Spots

A home inspection is your opportunity as the buyer/homeowner to find any problems with the house. This includes a thorough look at the inside and outside of the house. Here are some of the hot spots that your home inspector will take into consideration:

• HVAC systems
• Indoor plumbing
• The home's foundation
• Electrical systems

The other half of your winter home inspection is done outdoors, and it includes:

• Exterior plumbing
• Crawl spaces with exterior entrances
• The roof

In winter, summer, spring, or fall, ClearVUE inspectors are prepared to clearly convey the overall condition and integrity of the home necessary to make informed decisions.
