Home Inspection Repairs

Repairs of Minor Plumbing or Electrical Issues 4

Missy : Sometimes a home inspection report will include issues with simple electrical and plumbing items. Unless the problems cited are safety concerns you should not list them as requested repairs. Simple issues such as an upside-down outlet or a corroded fitting are DIY or handyman repairs that can easily be handled post-closing. Don : I can see a homeowner asking for electric and plumbing issues to be fixed as this may require a professional if the buyer is not able to do such work. Corroded pipes lead to future leaks or can be a sign of low quality or old plumbing.
