recently pumped basement
leaves damp corners.Be
particularly suspicious of
cellar walls that have been
:newly; t.aintetor pn Rle , .
The wiring: It's best to
have an electrician check out
the wiring for you. It may
cost up to $75 but it may be
the, most important
precaution you take:
The furnace: A tremen-
dous problem since there is
no way to tell if the furnace
will come through for you in
the dead of a February night.
The best thing to do is switch
on the motor, set the ther-
. mostathigh and .feel the air
coming out &the ducts to see
if the thing works, especially
if ,you're buying the house in
summer or falL It is also a
good idea to ask the seller to
show his receipts for fuel and
repair bills.
Insulation: Most new
homes today are builtwith
three inches 'of*insulation in
the walls and six inches in
the attic. If' the attic has
insufficient • insulation, it
would be wise to bong it ge
to`the kecommendedlevel
cut down heating costs.
Water heaters: Horne
owners will tell you that
water heaters are one of the
first things to go. Check for
uarustor leaks on the bottom of
the tank _and • keep your
fingers crossed.
Plumbing: Unless you hire
a plumber to inspect the
pipes, it is difficult to detect
defective plumbing. The
worst . plumbing problems
usually occur in older houses
with iron pipes which
corrode after years of use.
Copper plumbing is the best.
To check the plumbing
performance, turn on the
water faucet. If the water,
tfickles out; its- bad news--
Neat, drop a tissue into the
toilet and flush it; if the
tissue does not flush all the
may, you may have
problems.
Many other areas in a
home demand' a check-out
but the aforementioned are
among the most important.
Real estate.. agents... M -tell
" you that every house has' its
flaws; it is ultimately up to
the buyer to decide whether
these flaws are worth
repairing.
