While the weather in Jacksonville, Florida, is certainly beautiful, it can cause some problems for homeowners. Heat, humidity, rain and even hurricanes are fairly common. Moisture leads to mold growth, rust and warping. Pests such as termites, cockroaches and mice thrive in warm, moist conditions. High winds and falling debris often result in significant damage to roofing systems. HVAC systems tend to deteriorate very quickly, especially when exposed to salt from the ocean. For homeowners looking to sell, a home inspection is part of a conventional sale.

An inspector verifies the safety, reliability and condition of essential systems such as the plumbing, electric, roof, foundation and HVAC. Even if the roof appears in good condition and shows no sign of leaking, its age may get in the way of insurance and a mortgage. For a buyer to qualify for a loan, the bank may require major repairs, replacements and updates. Suddenly, the seller is faced with considerable expense. Plus, there is the time, mess and disruption involved with home renovations.
