Buyers Real Estate and Home Inspection Tips
DRIVEWAY MAINTENANCE AND WATER CONTROL
Many times the driveway maintenance is deferred because it is always functional and reliable. In other words, the driveway is on the lower section of the property maintenance list. The following are a few tips on maintenance and problems that can develop with the driveway:
(a) Maintenance tip - when cracks develop whether it's concrete or asphalt, sealer and filler can be purchase at the home improvements stores that makes it easy to fill the cracks yourself and save a few dollars. It's very important to fill and seal these cracks because if the cracks are left open, water gets under the driveway and over time does severe damage.
(b) driveway drainage - it's very important to pay attention to how the driveway drains the rain water. A driveway that is goes right up against the house foundation could be draining water up against the foundation which can cause water penetration into the house. Garages that are under the house are notorious for driveway water penetration into the house. These type driveways have a steep slope that directs water right into the garage. The only answer to control the water from this type driveway is to install a full width drain in front of the garage door.
WATER QUALITY
City water is no problem, however with well water there could be problems
it should be tested periodically particularly if a different smell or taste is noted. This periodic testing is especially important if you and your neighbors have farms and septic systems. With the heavy rains and flooding, one must be very careful drinking water from a well after areas near your home has had flooding. If the water is discolored, don't drink it, if the water is still clear after a flood, boil the water before using as a safety precaution. Then get the water tested as soon as possible. If there is one thing that's imperative for good health it's good drinking water. The cost of a drinking water test is well worth the money to know that you and your family is safe with good drinking water.
Note - If your buying an old home in one of the older cities that has a lead main feed pipe coming from the main city water supply line, we recommend that the water be tested for lead before purchasing the home. Yes, that's right, some of the older cities still have lead water supply lines to the house.
