Inspection INSight Pics: Bathrooms

It may be one of the smallest rooms in the house, but the bathroom packs a punch when it comes to plumbing, moisture, and ventilation. At Arrow Home Inspections, we go straight to the point by checking that sinks, tubs, toilets, and fans are all functioning properly—and that no hidden leaks or poor drainage are lurking behind those polished surfaces.

We test fixtures for proper drainage, examine for water stains, verify that fans are venting to the outside, and check for safe electrical setups like GFCI outlets. Because when moisture, plumbing, and wiring share a space, even small issues can turn into big problems if left unchecked.

Top Bathroom Issues We Find Again and Again:

• Slow-draining or leaking sinks and tubs, often due to buildup or worn seals.
   
• Cracked, missing, or loose caulk around wet areas that allows water to seep into walls or floors.
   
• Poor ventilation, including fans that vent into the attic or are clogged with lint.
   
• Loose toilets or fixtures, which can cause rocking, leaks, or long-term damage.
   
• Minor moisture damage on walls, ceilings, or floors—usually from chronic dampness or small leaks.

The kitchen may be where the heart is, but during a home inspection, it’s also where many hidden issues like leaks, faulty outlets, or aging appliances are first revealed. At Arrow Home Inspections, we go straight to the point by checking built-in appliances, under-sink plumbing, ventilation, electrical outlets, and structural elements like cabinets, counters, and flooring.

From malfunctioning burners to missing GFCI outlets, we make sure this high-traffic space works the way it should so you’re not surprised by a dripping faucet or a non-functioning dishwasher after move-in.

Top Kitchen Issues We Find Again and Again:

• Non-functioning range burners or knobs, often due to age or wear.
   
• Loose or ineffective range hoods, especially those not venting properly.
   
• Leaking or dripping under-sink plumbing, a frequent but fixable issue.
   
• Missing or faulty GFCI outlets near water sources, posing electrical hazards.
   
• Worn or leaking dishwashers, typically from seals, rust, or aging parts.
   
• Warped or damaged cabinets and flooring due to previous water intrusion.
