Is a Home Inspection Really Necessary ?
Article by Gerald Warren

GARAGE DOOR OPENERS
motorized garage door openers should always have their own dedicated electrical outlet and not be run by an extension cord. The reason is simple, if someone unplugs the extension cord, you could be locked out because the garage door won't open.

RAIN GUTTER DISCHARGE AREA
The downspout from the rain gutters should discharge the water at lest five feet from the foundation. I can't stress this point enough. If the downspout is discharging the rain water right alongside the foundation, sooner or later you will have foundation damage and, if the house has a basement there is a good chance that you will have water penetration into the basement. Believe it or not, most water in the basement problems are do to water being discharged alongside the house. With the average size house, it is estimated that with a one inch of rainfall 800 gallons of water comes off the roof. Usually the first sign of water penetration in to the basement is staining on the interior foundation wall in the corner of the basement exactly where the rain gutter discharge is located on the exterior of the house. By extending the rain gutter discharge about five feet from the foundation many times is an easy fix for water penetration into the basement.
