Common Issues in Houston Homes
Foundation movement: Expansive clay soils can cause slab and pier‑and‑beam foundations to settle or shift, leading to cracks in walls and floors.
Plumbing & insulation damage during freezes: Rare cold snaps have burst pipes and damaged water heaters across the region. We check piping and insulation to prevent surprises.
Moisture intrusion and mold: High humidity and tropical storms create leaks in roofs and around windows. Infrared scans help locate hidden moisture.
Aging HVAC systems: Air conditioners in Houston run hard—inspection of HVAC performance and ductwork ensures efficient cooling.
Roof wear from storms: Hail and high winds can damage shingles and flashing. We inspect the roofing system and attic ventilation.
